If memory serves me correctly, didn't Paul Scholes refuse to play for Manchester United against the Arsenal in the league about 10 years ago, a game which his side lost 4 nil?

That was when he was banished to the reserves who played in that LC tie. Actually Stan Collymore refused to play for Liverpool reserves too when he was there. But Tevez was on the bench so his case is somewhat different. It's hard to know what Tevez really wants. He knows he can't move anywhere yet, he's earning a good salary, what's wrong with playing a bit of football too? He may not like Mancini but heck it's his job and you don't have to like the boss. The money should be compensation enough.

Me too, are there any regular social events?

I believe not just the Rodwell decsion to be wrong, Van der Vaart clearly handled the ball to score Tottenhams first goal but none of the officials gave it. The decsion to disallow Wolves a perfectly legitimate goal was also questionable to say the least. Perhaps this will just add fuel to the fire regarding video replays for match officials?

Isn't it just the purest of pleasures to see the mire Forest are in.


And yet the nature of that ghastly club is that they thrive out of adversity. When last the East Midlands Juve had bested them on all fronts, a gobby northener arrived and propelled them within no time to a level beyond all precedent and prediction. Even now, diminished by dipsomania, scandal and malfeasance, they pull in crowds three times that of more deserving clubs north of the Trent.


But perhaps this time the times are changing.

It's debatable whether it was handball or not. Certainly none of the Arsenal players appealed at the time. And as for video replays I think that could spoil the flow of the game. I'd only go for goal line technology though. Too many times a ball has been clearly over the line and not given.

Very debatable, and inconclusive from replays...same applies to the Wolves 'goal' This has been said many times before, these decisions tend to even themselves out over the course of a season. I'd rather keep the flow of the game and rely on the officials to make an honest decision at the time. However, if like Mr Atkinson they make an obvious howler, they should show some accountability and issue an apology/explanation of their decision.
The one thing I like about Fabio is that he tends to only pick players who are actually playing regular club football, not going on past glories/reputation i.e Ferdinand...as for posh bloke, let's hope he doesn't stagnate like Walcott seems to have done at L'Arse

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
