Jon

One of our group is a Rangers fan so no chance of watching it in a bar called Celtic Imperial sounds ok Staying at the Mantra, cheers

Group coming over from Wellington for the two Phoenix games, Where's a good bar, close to the MCG, to catch the match on Monday morning???

Why is the net spend comment being used to beat up Purslow? Yes the words came from his lips but he may well have been repeating the lobbocks that H&G told him to say, he is their employee after all. It could be that he believed it as much as we the fans did And for the record I'm not in the Purslow supporters camp or the hang draw and quarter him camp either, I just hope that this H&G nightmare ends soon

where's the advantage you t***, lucas clean thru

cheating fecker atkinson

well done david

Commentary stated that Jones is sitting behind the subs with the rest of the non-playing squad

The way they build stuff the stadium could be complete before the season starts is over

Maybe Brukner knows how to fix his problem, they may all stem from one particular muscle complaint

and now Carlton Cole is being linked, as a replacement for Ngog

Appreciate that but Blatter, who knows less than most, has stated that he will look at introducing technology, so hypothetically what would you like that to be

Personally I'd like a 5th official watching a replay who has a feed to the guy in the middle. Only one or two replays any more and the game has moved on. This 5th official can make a recommendation to the main referee on critical events only, goal line, major offsides (Tevez), etc. If the ref chooses to ignore the call he can, but would have to include the reason in his match report. The 5th official is not there for the ref to refer to as that is where the slowing down of the game comes in. The 5th official could also be used for citing of off the ball incidences, with retrospective punishment dealt out by the match referee (yellow or red card) Whilst they're at it (altho not really in the technology modus operandi) I would also like to see them introduce an "orange" card for offences not worthy of a red, but too stupid for a yellow (Pique for the Paraguayan penalty for instance), the orange card basically tells the coach to sub the player off now (or at the next break in play), thereby using up a sub but not reducing the team to ten men. It's something we use in junior games instead of issuing a red card, because reducing the numbers can turn the games into a farce

The great counters were 100% down to the fact that Terry & Upson went forward for freekicks that the fat t*** blasted straight at the wall, basically making them play catch up from the moment he lined it up, Yes he hit the bar with one attempt today but every other attempt has been row Z or the wall, committing all but Johnson forward for his free kicks is suicide and today we paid the ultimate price There's a stack of other problems but we've been there already

Lino on edge of box looking for offside, as he should be

Given the fact that we're skint, we'll probably get Ricki Herbert, he's paid NZD200k by his club and NZD50k by the country, less than GBP125k, and that's per annum before you ask

Hard to pick that up even with the replays (only one of the three angles showed it), no way the linesman saw it as there was little to no deviation. Anyway slightly cancelled out by the penalty, De Rossi went down like he was shot and he'd have to have been another two foot taller to have got to the ball How many times did they crumple in a heap at the slightest touch, every time they got a free kick as well rather than told to get off their ar$e and get on with it

Especially considering the ref gave them nothing all game, (more FIFA influence??!!)
