Match Day Thread 2016/17 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

If we need good luck to beat Malta at home then I'd rather we lose

 

Do you think you score enough goals too

 

Quid stake...



...returned £34 but I cashed out (£17) as soon as Sunderland equalised

Also had a five fold (£1 stake) for both teams to score (3 yes & 2 no). I had both Spurs and Man City to score, cashed out for £12 at HT.

 

Remember Iceland

 

You can never score enough goals.
But if I had to isolate a failing, it's at the other end.

Good man.
If you look back far enough I first answered a post by Lucaass saying you didn't need a striker because you "scored enough goals", I just pointed out that if you scored "enough" goals there wouldn't be three teams above you

 

Just watching last nights motd. The boro goal just makes you wonder why goal line tech wasn't brought in sooner. Best thing they've done in years getting that.

Decent goal from payet to be fair, did couple of them but was terrible defending.

 

Depends on the circumstances under which you score them.
We've scored more than two of the three teams above us, and the same number as the other one, so obviously our lowly position is due to some other factor.
I wonder what it could be?

 

The fact that you haven't outscored or equalled as many of your opponents than the three above you?

 

Or let too many in?
It isn't really that hard to understand.

 

Just seen Everton goal. So jagielka handles the ball, but ref gives high foot so ok... but then why has he given a direct free kick that lukaku scored from. Surely the ref knows that should be indirect?!

 

Correct.
So have you scored enough or not?

 

The rule...........

An indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team when a player commits a foul other than a penalty foul (e.g. dangerous play)

A high foot is dangerous play and therefore a direct free kick.

 

The only law in the game is whatever the ref says goes

 

That is taking me back to my youth, foul, foul, oh wait, ref say's no

I miss those days when the game wasn't complicated by 40 slowmo camera angles and did he fall or was he pushed

 

I can't understand why Utd have benched Rooney - that's two assists he's made recently by cleverly disguising them as a complete cock-up.

Erm, read that again mate lol

 

See, never too old to learn new tricks from a top manager

 

Yeah.
When he gets one he'll be unstoppable.
