He’ll surely be getting a bit more punishment for ranting about the officials in his interview too. Particularly as one of the things he was blasting them about was completely wrong (offside). Would have thought he might have watched it back and gone into it armed with facts.
That's not Guzzler, the one in the pic is years younger than him. Oddly was chatting with Guzzler last night in Masters Bar, less oddly he was sozzled. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Saw him on Tuesday for the first time in a while, looked sort of pissed to me, but the geezer with him looked even more pissed.
I don't think that is actually true, Liam was saying the ball accidentally came off the defender, if so, then he was off side. So, can you be offside if the ball comes off a defender? Yes. If the ball is deflected off a defender or the defender makes a deliberate save, it’s offside. Only when a defender deliberately plays the ball is it not considered offside.
If the player is offside when the initial shot/pass/cross is made. That fella who scored the goal was about 4 yards on side and in fact the whole Norwich team was well on side at that point.
Rosey specifically said the guy was offside when the cross came in, which he would have had to have been for it to be offside whether Macca’s touch was deliberate or not.
Without listen back, I think his main complaint was that Macca was push to the ground before the cross came in and was recovering from that, and that is why it came off him as he was not ready for it. Pointless talking about it now, it's past and we lost.
It is, I’m just surprised that after getting sent off, he then went and did a media interview blasting the officials with incorrect statements. Normally that would get a reprimand and likely a fine by the FA.
Interestingly, I listened to the BBC Football Daily Podcast and it was a chat with Howard Webb. Amongst many things he said, he stated they would be cracking down on coaches behaviour on the touch line and their constant barrage of being in the 4th official's ear etc. I guess Liam couldn't have picked a worse time to have a hissy fit.
Didn't Carlos Corbaran also get the heave oh, for blasting an official. Only other one I heard about from Satdee. Two doesn't seem many. Maybe the penny has dropped, or there were few contentious incidents.
Wolves issued apology by PGMOL after controversial penalty decision vs Man United. Maybe they should take a look at our game against Norwich and apologise to our club to.
