Kinda like when you talk about Newcastle really

Define swipe? If it is, brush away a hand, then yes. I'd say swipe would mean more like a stroke. But please elaborate on the concept of "swipe" Make contact with the ref by swinging an arm at him. Ok. thanks. We are on the same page, concerning "swiping" then. Sorry, but you're wrong though Duff didn't swing his arm. He pushed away the refs hand. There was no swiping going on.

That's why you have linesmen. So that he might have a better view of any incidents. But yes. If it's a foul, it's red card. Blatant scoring chance of which he was (not) robbed

Except for the only one who was a referee, and he agreed that it was a penalty. Especially from where the ref was seeing it from. As he said, it can still be a foul even if there is a touch on the ball. And if it's a foul, then it's a red card. I think it was a fair enough decision from Styles. Maybe a little unlucky, but in no way is it an absolute clear cut call. Can't be too upset that it's gone against you, it was a very very risky move from Beye. Referee was seeing the back of the players, and from that angle, it's a penalty 95% of the time. Maybe if he saw it from the side he might not have given it, but even then, I'm pretty sure he would have given it and sent Beye off. You can talk angles all you want. Beye got the ball, before he hit the man. Nevermind the angles. Thats why you have linesmen. It was NEVER a penalty. Risky or not. He pulled it of, but still they penalised him for it. It either a penalty or not a penalty. Not maybe, or might, or could have been, or nearly. It's yes or no. It was a good decent last ditch tackle, and a shit call from Rob Styles. The whole Robinho attitude, tells everything. Lying with one eye closed in pain, and another eye on the ref to see if he gave a dodgy penalty http://eplvideos.com/index.php?ind=videos&...w&iden=1143 If that was given against you, you would be in here crying like a little girl. So don't use double standards. It may be a LITTLE unlucky, but you cannot say "It was NEVER a penalty." Just a bit ago, you where complaining about the tone, and now you're being the arse. Don't pretend to know how i would react, if that was the other way around, 'cause you cleary you have no idea. It was a SHIT decision, regardless of the risk and angles. Shit decisions do happend though, and is a part of football. Nevertheless, a shit decision. And i repeat. It was NEVER a penalty, since he got the ball. Basic football rules.

But you don't. You read and remember what suits you. You've been told numerous times, what is going on, but you won't take it in. You're still takin' the piss. For the not so dense, it's pretty obvious why people is furious with Ashley. Because of the lies about tranfser money. The handling of Michael Owens contract. Creating a setup that sparks internal tensions, and undermining Kevin Keegan. Putting out a statement with lies in it. The lies about Keegans position within the club. Lies about Dennis Wise role in the tranfser dealings. You come on here daily and you still don't get it. There are plenty of information on here, but still you just manage to take in what suits you, and then you post questions which only will wind people up. The whole alleged Mike Ashely family threat is a good example. You claim his family have been threatend. It's been pointed out with valid sources that, that was not the case, but you still linger on the noition, that it is, and continue to debate from that point of view. That constitutes winding up.

And that's why your argument is crap, 'cause the squad is in this state due to internal problems. Come on man. All the world knows Newcastle is in turmoil, and you pop up to tell them, that they need creative midfielders. Either your completly in the dark of all things concering a ball, or your on the wind up

Brondby are still strugling. Alot! Rosenborg hammered Djurgaarden 5-0 in there last Euro game at home. Brondby lacks firepower up front, and Rosenborg might be in a better physical condition. I think a draw is for this one I fancy an away win, gave that one a wide berth. I also think an away win is more likely, but I agree, it's a risky bet

Aalborg are woefull in the league, and have only won two games out of seven. Have been decent in euro though, but still, not as good as last year. Right back is injured and a very dodgy australian is playing it tonight (not Craig Moore though). Saganowski, on a loan deal from Southampton, is in no form what so ever. I belive they can give Celtic a good run, if the get going early on. They do have some fight in them, but they're long of the form that won them the league last year. But if they conced early, i'm afraid they'll pour in . I do agree, that Aalborg is one of the better teams coming out of Denmark in the last few years

My point being that this only came out after the collision and that the lions share of this should fall at the feet of Wise and Llambias, not Ashley. It's pretty hard to know who is at fault here, since, at least in my opinion, the club has come out with contradicting information. Since Keegan took over, it has been said over and over, that there is money for players. Alot of has been said by Ashley and also Wise, about who has the final saying over players. In the end, there didn't come in enough quality players, and the role of Keegan was even more obscure. It was all happy days, until the transfer window showed how things really where. I can understand people going of the handle, when stability has been lacking since Robson, and also before Robson. The whole DoF strategy doesn't ensure that at all. Managers get fired, when players, brought in by DoF's, fails. Infact, when players fail, you should fire the DoF, and you then have the same situation that Ashley talks about, he wants to avoid. It doesn't seem like the whole setup was thought through. You don't bring in a manager, and THEN a DoF to take care of player recruiting. It seems a bit backwards.

Isn't it more about being told there are plenty of money for transfers, when there all of a sudden weren't? Isn't it more about being told, that Keegan had the final saying on every player going in and out, when he clearly hadn't? Isn't it really about depleting and all ready thin squad, when being told that 4-5 more bodies would come in? And when they finally managed to piss Keegan of enough to leave, didn't people just finally had enough? For me, sitting comfortably far away, it's about the fact that what was being said, now isn't true.

The only one I'd currently see as a sort of consolation. Directly coming from the Cruijff school of football. Still want getting rid of the numpties at the club though. Laudrup is a bit of a sulk though, and i can't see him working in the current setup right now. He is a control freak, and wants his own staff, and alot of saying on which players there is brought in. Upside is though, that he has worked under a director of football before. But i honestly don't see him taking the job under the current conditions

That's in place in Italy too isn't it? If so, it doesn't contradict EU or Uefa regs. I'm not sure, although they were looking at all sorts when the Italian league nearly bankrupt itself a few years ago. Most everything contradicts some EU or Uefa (or Fifa) regs though. At least there maybe some comfort in seeing Man U glory hunters faces when/if Man City win the league. Iirc the Italian system requires that the wages do not exceed a certain percentage of turnover. The penalties are relegation and so on. I think that is what happened to Fiorentina. Not that I give a fuck at this moment in time. In Denmark a club MUST have 25% of the monthtly wage budget in cash, otherwise the club may risk being declared bankrupt, and relegated out of the pro divisions. I guess, they could be heavily in debt, as long as they just still have 25% of the wage in bank.

I Denmark we fling beer at each other, when goals are scored, so this really is completly out of proportions for me

Apparently Hull signed him, according to Sky 19.50 Hull have signed Guinea defender Kamil Zayatte on loan from Young Boys for the rest of the season

As a Danish part time Newcastle fan, that really talks to me, and kinda pains me, 'cause i'd be one of those consumers when i attend Newcastle matches. I don't really like the idea of football supporters being made in to a tourist spectacle, when horders of people from abroad invades theire "home" in replica kits and photographing anyone that might be a genuine fan. I wouldn't want to be on the other end of that, but i wouldn't want to give up watching Newcastle either. I've only been to St. James once, and I painfully remember a conversation with a geordie and his canadien girlfriend the day after. He had easily spotted we weren't from Newcastle, since we where ALL overly dressed in new merchandise. He asked if we had been to the game, and I said yes. He's girlfriend asked, why they had not went to the game, and he bitterly said, that there was no way they could get tickets. We could on the, on the otherhand, easily get tickets. We just had to email a contact, and he'd sort us out. We got some nice 42£ lounge tickets, wich included a matchday program and a dinner voucher, and access to a bar on top of St. James. It felt ackward sitting there. Fully knowing, that we took up spaces from people whole really wanted to be there. But the club knew that we would spent silly money in every superstore we came accross, and therefor we were deemed good money. The same thing with football is happening here in Denmark. Our stadiums are slowly transforming to all seaters, with more add space, and big screen tv's. The beer is getting more expensive, with lesser alchohol and in smaller portions. We are no where near the situation in England, but we're getting there. Some guy got slammed with a half a year ban from every ground in the country, for putting up a sticker. I do sympatise with english supporters, that has been priced out of the stadiums. I would never call myself a sooperfan, and I try to conduct myself with a bit of humility when i do post here, unlike some other supporters from abroad

Exciting. Vejle Boldklub has a very good youth academy.

Mascherano, Alonso, Renia, Agger, Babel, Kewell, Morientes, Anelka (albeit on loan). That's the second time Agger is being brought up. First it was claimed he was a bargain, now he is tier one. Agger was an overpriced danish premiership player, who was a fringe national. Albeit a major talent, he still was only breaking into a wounded BIF side, in the danish premiership and a fringe national player. Agger was a gamble, and not a tier one player. The gamble has paid of, no doubt about it, but paying more than 6 million pound for a danish superliga player is lunacy in any capacity. The boy has matured, and is playin VERY well. But he was not a bargain, nor a tier one player at the time of purchace

I doubt that Sionko would make it in the PL. He hasn't excately set the world alight in the Danish Premiership. His good and all, but not the worldbeater he should be in the Danish Premiership.

Not quite the stunner, but still impressing

ACL and knee surgery in general, has gone leaps and bounds, the last year or so. In his age, he should be back at the same strength. Possibly he'll be stronger, since it might have been a problem with the knee in the first place, they haven't noticed. ACL damages are bad, but not as bad as two og three years ago

You don't know the difference between this ` and this ' though do you? Of course I do, however, I use a foreign keyboard so it doesn`t have all the figures which are necessary which means I have to improvise. Not that I expect you to understand, having never been outside your backyard. The keyboard has all the characters you need. Don't blame foreningers 'cause you can't find them

Sligthly off topic, i know, but i felt i should share some video from "the kicking" http://youtube.com/watch?v=wlP7rdPN9hM
