'bout now Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 So they can refuse to shake hands at the end of the game instead? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18997-football-focus/page/488/#findComment-578392 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Lush Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I agree with PD. Get rid of the handshake at the beginning. It's so contrived. It never used to happen. If you feel like shaking the hand of your opponent at the end of the match then feel free to do so but you shouldn't be forced to do it at the beginning of a game.

maxxi Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Mancini has been a bit harsh on Hart imo - If he doesn't want his players criticising the team/performance then he should ban them from giving interviews immediately after games and see how that sits with the tv companies. I thought it was refreshing to hear Hart's disappointment and anger come through instead of the usual platitudes tv interviewers love (like the follow up with Mourinho with tv idiot desperately trying to get 'the special one' to say he felt sympathy for Man City - plucky losers etc. - only to be met with a typically blunt "No").

Otta Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Very harsh on Hart! The player was gutted about losing, surely that is what you want, and as far as I'm aware he only blamed "the team" and "us", it's not like he singled out a specific player and had a go.

red devil Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 More insightful journalism from Robbie Savage...It is a fact of life that Liverpool and United fans don?t like each other, but that doesn?t give them a licence, at such a sensitive time after the Hillsborough revelations, to cross the line between rivalry and bad taste.Lots of people hate having their teeth drilled - but they don?t walk into the surgery singing vile songs about the dentist.Commuters hate it when they are late for work because their train doesn?t run on time - but they don?t chant abuse at the train driver.All together now... You only sing when you're drilling,sing when you're driiiiiiling,you only sing when you're drilling You're late and you know you are,you're late, and you know you are...

Jah Lush Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I was at White Hart Lane last night. In what was a very entertaining game that was let down by a very poor Romanian referee. Lazio players constantly got away with niggling fouls on Lennon, Bale and Defoe and we had two legitimate goals ruled out. On top of that Lazio fans were clearly heard from where I was sitting giving a few of our black players monkey chants in the second half. I hope UEFA have taken note and do something about it though I suspect they won't. There was also bit of naughtyness down the Tottenham High Road after the game between rival fans. I think it could be a lot worse in Rome. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18997-football-focus/page/488/#findComment-579220 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otta Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Absolutely no luck for Liverpool today, but should have scored a couple in the first half and put it out of reach.

Alan Medic Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I know Liverpool were on top though I'm not sure where their goals were coming from. United played badly and won which just about sums up their season so far. That is apart from losing to Everton who along with Arsenal appear to be the two best teams in the league at the moment.
