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

My only surprise is that so many people are surprised tbh

I thought it was fairly common knowledge that there certainly had been a problem with many football clubs certainly in years past but almost certainly still going on to some extent.This isn't just a football problem though all sports will have this problem due to the physical nature of sports and the desire of sex offenders to put themselves in positions to satisfy their desires.
In fact any situation will gives an adult power over children always runs the risk of this sort of event i.e. Boy scouts, teachers , care homes , doctors etc
In fact give a human power over another human and abuse of 1 form or another is always a possible outcome.

my view on this may be coloured by personal experiences though thankfully nothing live the horrors visited on some of the victims that have already gone public .

 

its tough. I guess some of us were sheltered and lucky to be so.

 

Not confident about our match. **** sake what happened to matic. You cant inser fabregas probably the most 1 paced and lightweight midfielder in the name for matic whos an absolute beast. The other thing is matic protects alonso and cahill hazard, that side of the field which is far poorer defensively (when ball is in the deck). I can only hope

 

Should be a good game. Take a draw

 

How do people think that Gary Neville is not biased -,challenge on Aguero was far worse than the other one.

 

TBF he started off ok and surprised a lot of prople but now is a dick.

 

Aguero barely got touched. One on Costa was far worse, studs up straight on challenge.

 

all 3 city players offside and now Hazzard with a great chance

 

Ref bottled that one. Just barges aguero out the way when he knew wasn't going to get there.

 

That was his cover to get people onside, well known method

 

I just cant comprehend how ref AND lino fail to see that.

 

Agreed - should have gone there

 

Although I'd like to see Luiz sent off and Chelsea get raped, there didn't look much in it to me

 

I thought a yellow and a free kick

 

It's Carragher fault...Neville tried to be all unbiased then Jamie came along and said feck that! so Gary went along with it happily lol

 

city in the driving seat the last 10 minutes but this game could go either way...

 

All we need now is for David Luiz to score the winner

 

One thing is certain: our refs are cowards. They bottle out of really crucial but tough decisions. "Which is the decision I can get away with? "

 

That's exactly it...Perfect description of the supposed top ref Clattenburg

 

Dont think red think was a yellow and free kick as aguero hadn't actually made it to the ball yet.
