The Footie Thread

[Tashyboy]

Anyone seen the Galatasary manager after Mourinho tweaked his nose last night? Rolled around like he had been shot

Apologies for spelling on this post

It’s seriously funny, but why does Maureen have to do silly things like that. Love how the mangers legs go from underneath him.

Did he mean it?

Nope, as he confirmed on his MOTD interview

 

[Bdill93]

Touching interview. He seems a genuinely nice guy, hasn't lost touch with reality.

He's always been a great guy, just makes the odd silly mistake any young man would do in the spotlight with a lot of money.

Wonder if he will move on from City soon?

Didn’t see that

He was getting criticised the other week for having a few pints in a working men’s club

Not sure if true,but apparently he put some money behind the bar for the locals.

If big Dunk says it’s a red there’s no argument

Seriously the more you see its lucky there were no bones broken.

Just seen it for the first time. Seriously, that’s an awful challenge. There can be little excuse for the referee missing the seriousness of it, and absolutely none for the VAR not recommending a review.

Our officiating in this country just gets worse.

Up in Washington, near Sunderland. All true, it was in the local press. I should add, it was not posted by him, he was looking to go under the radar.

Never took chances and got punished.
You did play well though.

A shot? It was a shanked cross

I wish my shanks were struck that purely!!

Sadly, my shanks are. I never hit a nice feathery one. Instead, I hit a rocket that goes off the face of the planet

Looking forward to seeing what both Webb and Gallagher say about it

Also just watched the Sky clip with both angles. I think it's less clear. It looks brutal but it's one of those where I'm wondering what you're supposed to do with your foot after you've kicked the ball. I don't believe he deliberately left it on him.

I'm of the same opinion, yes he followed through but where was he meant to go? You can't just kick the ball and stop.

He knew

He was getting man and ball and there is imo no doubt with the force he was going in that he would have no control over his leg

At least the PGMOL have admitted it now

And it shoold mean that Tierney shouldn’t be near VAR or a game for a month

This. If it wasn't given on the field or overturned not sure why PGMOL have changed their tune now

One thing I noticed about it was he was off the ground at the point of contact which (usually) is deemed he has no control.

• Foot high.
• Off the ground.
• Excessive force.

It’s a leg breaker if the leg he connected with was anchored = reckless = red

Why can't Ipswich just bugger off? Could be down to 6 points on Sunday, squeaky bum time.

That's what I'd be doing if I was on 200k per week. Just helping loads out, even if it's just a few beers.

That’s not how it works - as a player it’s your responsibility to ensure your actions don’t endanger your opponent, going in like that means you have no control and will endanger the opponent
