What the **** was that!!!!!

Bit weird really, was there a white bambi I don't know about?

 

To be fair I agree with Tash on both pens. The first was never a penalty in a million years. And I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure that the ball flicked Kruls hand as Johnson moved it across him. Johnson bought it for me and had no desire to get to the ball once he moved it. He is notorious for 'winning' pens. If Krul did touch it, how can it still be a pen if got the ball? But generally you need to remember it was just a bad day at the office for both players and manager.

I'd find it impossible to agree with your markings and not very easy to mark players in general. You'd have to do it in two halfs. I thought Santon and Ameobi were the only players who were poor all day. And even then Shola had a couple of moments in the first. To a man we were incredibly good first half and incredibly poor 2nd half. Cabaye and Guthrie went from running the match to chasing shadows and being unable to retain possession. Colo and the rest of the back four just got ragged as hell. Benni, Best, Jonas became pretty much anonymous till Benni got involved once 4-1 down. He scored a cracking goal but gave away the fifth by losing posession cheaply.

Some of the comments about Krul etc on this thread are embarassing for those posting it to be honest. I said when we plumped for him at the start of the season I hope folk don't turn when the young lad has a tricky spell. It is well known keepers are better when they're older as they make better decisions and get more consistent. Time will show him to be world class so get behind him.

 

Nobody would of even noticed it if one person decided to send a 'warning' (Actually just showing people so they can slate him some more) didn't decide to point it out ffs.

 

Which makes it alright?

Pouch I can't agree on the second penalty, I think Krul does enough for it to be a pen, but regardless of that Williamson clearly fouls Johnson first anyway. Ref could easily have pulled it back for that.

 

So the first comment was a warning rather than a protest. He was wrong to have said it so I don't see your point.

Personally if he had admitted his mistake on the grounds of running off at the mouth during an angry rant I would have let is pass. But he was not only unapologetic he actually went on the attack. Sorry but that just shows how much he needs to be put right on this. But I guess that makes me pathetic.

 

This.

You may not be intentionally racist but why that choice of words. It has historically been used to belittle those of African descent for years.

 

To me racist as there is no need to refer to his colour to make the point about his style and balance.

 

Yes, I'm a truly terrible person.

 

It's really a touchy subject when using someones skin colour as an adjective.

I said Shola was the Black Zigic once. Mainly because they're exactly the same player, except different skin colours. I don't think anyone would care if it was the other way round, and we called Zigic the white Shola.

I just think people are far too concerned about being unoffensive some times...

I find it funny how on this forum, everyone seems to throw around the words "***" "***got" and "gay" around in a joke, but when someone says the word Black, everyone has a **** fit.

So we're allowed to be slightly homophobic when making jokes but not slightly racist? Is it because people on here don't take gay jokes seriously like black jokes? or jokes about race?

 

You didn't use the term black, you likened him to an ape...
