  1. He undoubtedly became a serious sexual predator, but I doubt it started like that. Rantzen's right to a point, it was a different time, Radio one DJ's were THE celebrity, hard to explain or provide a contemporary example, there were 6-8 blokes who were gods to just about every young girl/woman in the country. Bigger than footballers or even the pop stars themselves. They'd have had young girls/women throwing themselves at them all the time and I doubt many of them turned it down. They'll all be shitting it now though. Savile took it to a different level, maybe he couldn't stop as he got older and it wasn't on a plate anymore so he became the predator or maybe he just felt "entitled". I'll be amazed if there's not follow up stories about other DJ's and they'll be labelled "fiddlers" but they won't have been anything like Saville, but did they screw young women, at the peak of their celebrity, you bet they did, but those young women will have been more than willing at the time.
  2. He should have moved to Spain, age of consent there is 13 !!!!!! (14 in Germany, 15 France). We're a bit of an outlier at 16 in Europe, which surprises me.
  3. I think you think wrong, I'd cite Sir Alex F as corroborating evidence.
  4. He was the ref when De Jong snapped Ben Arfa in two, no free kick.
  5. How could the leg/foot he was swinging through the air, kicking the ball with, "stick in the turf"
  6. Reckless (at worst tbh). Never "using excessive force" he was stretching and leaning back.
  7. It was miss-timed and aye maybe he should have pulled out, but given he was being fouled which effected his ability to make the subsequent challenge, was a yellow IMO. A two footed lunge type challenge over the ball should be straight red, he never took his eyes off the ball, no way was he trying to "do" Fletcher.
  8. Is the correct answer, he was also off balance and reaching because of him being pulled back.
  9. Thought Williamson was excellent today an all, Colo was imperious though. We should consider cashing in on Tiote in Jan/the summer, still don't accept it was a justified red but he's evidently been booked something like 27 times in 54 games, ref's are looking for him.
  10. No, but in the name of consistency, you'd have expected a couple of yellow's out of 14 fouls, if 16 = 4 yellows and one red. I can think of two Larsons kick in Shola's chest, and Gardners taking out of Santon 2nd half, which should have been yellow. Cuellar's "non foul" through the back of BA was worth a yellow by today's standards an all.
  11. 16 fouls we commited and got 4 yellow and one red, they commited 14 fouls and got fuck all, how's that work ????
  12. Anyone else notice the golf ball chucked at Cabaye at our last corner ??
  13. He books WIlliamson, yet didn't book Gardner for taking Santon out minutes earlier, un-fucking-believeable.
  14. Not at all, was a yellow at the very worst, Atkinsons hardly card happy today, see the Larson/Shola incident for evidence. If Tiote'd tried to do him, fair does, but no way on earth did he, I'd be screaming blue murder over Tiote if I thought that, I'm not his biggest fan by a long way.
  15. Nope, not at all, never a straight red in a million years, extremely harsh red. Fletcher flopping around like a beached salmon didn't help
  16. No he fucking didn't. His foot was up and turned side on.
  17. Utter rubbish, he hung his leg out, never left the ground and his instep hit Fletcher, not even studs up. Bullshit ref-ing. Game killed, well done Mr Atkinson.
  18. "This is the strongest Sunderland team I've faced. They've got some players who could get in our team".
  19. The very fact that no matter the gulf in class between us and them makes me fear "the law of averages".
