that maybe. But the fact that they should hsve had a freekick and Gallas off with a red rather thsn a goal against is mainly what they are moaning about. Can you imagine what Wegner would be saying?

The ref on the night was awful. Every decision seemed to go to Bolton. Over the course of a season refs make some shocking decisions last night was no exception.A team is under no obligation to kick the ball out when a man is down especially if the player down is one of the team in possession. We've been on the receiving end of some shocking tackles, Adebayors kick on Van Persies head for example. Bolton chose to play on and we won the ball and scored. Stop crying Coyle, 2 nil and you fcuked it up.

Nice of the Arsenal fans to cheer when Mark Davies was carried off after Gallas's horrendous tackle. That's really sporting of them don't you think? Cunts!


Spurs had a perfectly good goal disallowed and two possible penalty appeals turned down last night which for me changed the course of the game. I thought Howard Webb had a bit of a shocker and showed himself to be a homer. That's the way it goes sometimes.

I thought you were determined to ignore me? I know you can,t bless you. Try not to let the green eyed monster take over your deluded thinking. Rags fans have cheered when opposition players have injured as have scum fans so it's a case of pot calling the kettle black. As if I give a shit about what Rags or a scum fan thinks. The holier than thou mantle is not one either of you can adopt with any credability. Rags losing against citeh, scum losing us winning, it doesn't get any better. Bring it on.

It's a different situation, completely. The ref saw the Eduardo tackle and sent the guy off, action was taken therefore the FA can't act retrospectively. Gallas foul the referee didn't see it, and the rule is if that's the case then the FA can act. This is the bit I don't get.


So there's no consistency - in one case the rules were followed, the other not.

What irks me about the Gallas foul was the thought of how he reacted to the Eduardo injury. Wasn't that the game when he sat on the pitch afterwards and wouldn't come off? A fine example for a captain to set. You would think that he would try not to do to another player what he saw done to his teammate if it upset him so much.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion, City fan here. CTID.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
