So Bednarek's red card v ManU has been overturned. Right decision but I'm kind of surprised they did it, you know, doing the right thing. Well actually the right thing would be not to send him off in the first place, and possibly give a yellow card to Martial for diving. But that would never happen. The fact that it directly and indirectly contributed a few goals to ManU's goal difference is no doubt irrelevant, and the fact that it casts doubts over this refs competence (I can't bring myself to say the name) is also of course irrelevant. He gave a pen, was told to go to the monitor, and instead of thinking the decision might be wrong he instead sent off the Southampton player. But don't worry, he would have done exactly the same thing had the situation been reversed and a ManU player not fouled a diving Southampton player.

Who have we got in the Ropey? The mousers have been banned from entering Germany through Covid so have to accept a 3-0 defeat, will that affect us as well?

Wolfsberger

It really sums up the hacks in this country that they're aware that Monster Energy Dusseldorf and G Fuel Vienna are named such for sponsorship reasons so shorten their names to avoid giving free advertising, but never bothered looking up that Wolfsberger are sponsored by RZ Pellets - which they would have learned if they took five seconds to Google that ****

Case in point...

See? They're called Wolfsberger. How hard is that?

Can we refuse to accept them in the UK and award a 4-0 win?

I understand it is a standard 3-0 so if we refused them it would be a 3-3 draw. Would we have to find a neutral ground for penalties? Something to do with germany banning flights from places with new variant. How fekking stupid, each new variant should be more contagious but less harmful and eventually morph into a common cold.

To be fair his original decision was undoubtedly wrong. It was either a penalty and a red card or neither. So he had to change one or the other. No surprises which one he went for.
