Lawro says the same here: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/referees-getting-worse-football-gets-1771181 So explain to me why this mornings hysteria in the media isnt just a reaction to the weekend events? Theyve got to print or say something . You mentioned man city not getting a pen. It happens in every league, every week and it has done for 130 fuckin years. The explosion in football media jobs and the internet makes you think the way you do. The money men and those who respect them can go take a running fuckin jump for all I care. I'm in a minority and its coming, I do realise that. But it doesn't make it right. The worst thing about all this is the effect on Haidara's career and theres not a camera anywhere on the fuckin planet that can hlep the lad with that.

Gouffran blocked the ref's view of it....do you want refs to guess at all decisons theyre not sure about? Halsey will be asked to review it today and the player will get 3 games for a straight red. Theres nothing in the rules that allows for longer.

Load of old pony, reactionary tosh. I'm pretty fucked off that the linesman shat his kegs and said fuck all. At this level, they should work as a team. Halsey's been let down by him iyam.

His view was blocked by Gouffran. He literally didnt see it. So how could Halsey have awarded it? The linesman on that side is different though...even at 20 yards, thats a red when your stood at the side of the pitch. So you want a video review for that, on the goaline too. Offside?...thats not opinion, your either on or off. Where the fuck will that end?

Has there been any other fouls of this nature that went completly unpunished?.... Keane/Haaland: red Shawcross on Arsenal lad: yellow? Nolan/Anichebe: red any more?... Whether we like it or not, the game is full of men protecting their own and their clubs' best interests. Am surprised you're surprised tbh. Martinez has a dressing room to control and a relegation fight on his hands. He's not going to hang anyone out to dry regardless of what they've done.

Is Remy worth 70k a week mate?

So now we should be playing like Barcelona? look, Pardew is limited but he's here to stay. What else is there to say?

But everyone was happy after the transfer window,,,weren't they?....Pardew's not alone in this, a lot of managers are short of players in vital posistions. That's football. We weren't going to get a striker + 2 midfielders & 3 defenders in January. Am fuckin astounded we got all them tbh.

Before today we'd won 4 from 6...wtf do people want? I'd love a better mananger than Pardew, tbh I don't disagree that hes made some funadamental mistakes this season but why cant allegedly sane and rational people get to grips with the fact that there is always going to be limitations on what we achieve and how we do whilst Mike Ashley is in charge?...Its going to take time, that's another one that people seem to ignore. We only spend what we take in, that limits us in comparison with the top of the league. Teams in this division don't lie down either, Wigan certainly didn't. Some people seem to think all we need to do is pick certain players in certain positions and we'll look like Brazil going forward and defend like Italy circa 1982 Zico, Baresi et al. Forget it. It doesn't work like that.

Apologies. Maloney went to Wigan for more money. Seeing as Celtic are former winners of the European cup how does that feel?

Caldwell didn't play and Malonely preferred Moscow to Glasgow...less crime, not as big a drug problem out there....

This is brilliant....a middle aged Noelie in the crowd no doubt....with a young Howmanheyman sat on the cinder track in front of the Popular Side if I'm not mistaken http://www.britishpathe.com/video/f-a-cup-replay-newcastle-v-huddersfield

You'll have to forgive some of us for actually giving a fuckin shit. Apologies.

Aye, rightly so. They gained an advantage there and then. Take the Gravesen/Albert thing into consideration and they've fuck all to complain about, fuckin scouse mackems...

Was it after we drew with them in September?...he was somewhat aggrieved that evening I seem to recall. NJS with a long memory seems to have taken the wind out of his sails anyway.

Didn't he have a pop after being "on the pop" before?...perhaps we can put it down to drink, the fuckin strap-on....

He played better second half after Shola came on in the 67th minute....think he was at the Trafford Centre with Halsey before that.

I'd have taken a point at half time in the circumstances....fuckin gutted to get nothing.

That lad would make a belting right half great ball from Cisse too

Sissoko's fuckin knackered as hes played every game since he signed iyam

I'll never understand that....when Barton got sent off at Anfield I wanted to fuckin kill him...was the only one mind,he got a standing ovation, 3 games before we were relegated.

Cisse's shot just then and the one just before where it came over his shoulder....he was burying all them last season...

Perch kicked the turf first which "disrupted" his challenge on Kone...booked

That's the thing....Halsey and the linesman on that side conspire to completely miss a dreadful challenge and the coaches get sent off. Halsey and the linesman should be sent back to parks football.
