Tyrant Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 I made a comment about Torres and Gerrard cheating yet still getting motm awards. I was under the impression it was for a 'push' the referee gave the penalty but if it's for clipping him, whether there's a lot of contact or not the original point still stands. Defenders need to be careful and Agger was not. I haven't once said it was definitely a penalty. I've said it was very soft. Whether Berbatov has gone down easily or not the blame still lies with Agger. Going down easily isn't something that started several years ago with Lee Miller. It's happened for years and Agger needs to be more careful in future. I think it's ridiculous that even slight contact can warrant a penalty. Shit like that happening makes the game so much less appealing to me. It disturbs me that folk are defending Berbatov here. It was blatant cheating. I haven't and won't defend any of "my own" players when they do the same so I reserve the right to moan about it when it goes against a team that I want to see win. And Bobby - You're right. But Berbatov wasn't moving at speed. He'd stopped and ran out of options hence his trip to the floor. Rules are rules and I believe the rules say no simulation. Berbatov simulated. Quote

What are you on about defending him? All I've seen is Bobby saying how do you know how slight a touch it was and how much it would for Berbatov to be knocked off balance. As far as I can see everyone has said it was a very soft penalty/not at all. So we'll say he got it wrong. What about the other penalty decision Webb got wrong when Kelly (I think) fouled Giggs in the box? Quote
Stuartini Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 Bit lost here. Are they referring to the split, or TV money breakdown? TV money breakdown, or unfair distribution of tv pesetas. The vast majority of Spanish fans want and English/bskyb style breakdown. Whereas at the moment la liga is basically a 2 game final played by messi vs c.ronaldo. Quote

minijc Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 Took a slight deflection I thought, very harsh to slate him for that, he's had a good game, some quality saves. Quote
Kowalski Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 Ben Foster and Joe Hart are making a good case for Craig Gordon being the best British goalkeeper currently! Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 Took a slight deflection I thought, very harsh to slate him for that, he's had a good game, some quality saves. Deflection or not, it shows his biggest weakness; he doesn't move his feet quickly enough. Quote
manc_don Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 Deflection or not, it shows his biggest weakness; he doesn't move his feet quickly enough. Agreed. He should have stopped that. Entertaining game though! Quote
