Am I wrong?Cloghie's big mouth was the least of FA's worries. The FA didn't want a power struggle with Cloughie. Moving onto the England game it seems the team is full of centre backs. Three out of the four England midfielders: Gareth Barry, Jones, and Rodwell, have all played as centre halves in their careers.Perhaps if England played a defender as a striker then we could have got a proper goal rather than an own one. But then Barry and Rodwell both had sitters. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18997-football-focus/page/370/#findComment-500103 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jah Lush Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I'm giggling like a schoolgirl Parkdrive. Your wit is beyond compare.Back to last night's game. Agreeing with you Undisputed Truth. No flare in the midfield. No one to pick out a pass. The sooner young Wilshire gets fit again the better but should we really be placing so much hope on a 19-year-old?Anyway, it's good that that particular 43-year hoodoo has gone. Still, two wins from two games, beating the World Champions and no goals conceded. It's hard to have much to complain about.

Otta Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 In related news, the FA have charged Suarez, but still haven't suggested any evidence. Surely if there was TV footage, we would have seen it?Before UDT jumps on me, I'll say again. If he is PROVEN guilty, I'll be the first to say he should be heavily punished.It still looks like Evra's word against Suarez's.

Then we should see some proper flair. Rodwell is a very good player but I'd like to see him play as a footballing centre half/sweeper.

Jah Lush Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Equally, I think Jones could do that job. MacEachran needs to get into Chelsea's first team first on a regular basis. Maybe a period on load at somewhere like Bolton would do him good and get some experience under his belt.

red devil Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 What's disappointing about all the recent race issues is how fans' and club loyalties seem to take precedence over the issue (I'm not talking about EDF users).From the Telegraph...AVB should never have come out and given his full backing to John Terry so quickly. Yes, Terry is innocent until proven guilty, but a club should only release statements like AVB's when they have the full facts from an independent inquiry...ditto Dalglish and Liverpool...clubs need to show far more responsibility on such issues, otherwise it only gives fuel to the fans vitriol.

Parkdrive Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Agreed, and why it has taken the footballing authorities this long to get these two issues sorted is beyond me.

Otta Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I agree whole heartedly with that R_D. As a Liverpool fan, obviously I want Suarez playing, because he is a quality player, but that doesn't give ANYONE a pass to be a racist (IF indeed he is).When it happened, Man U supporters were all convinced he was guilty, whilst all Liverpool fans were convinced he was innocent. This strikes me as pretty poor form (from both sides), and absolutely ridiculous, as not a single one of them actually knows.My only reason for being so strong on the need for proof, is that accusations like this tend to stick, and whether found guilty or not, Suarez will now always have the shadow of racism hanging over his head.

It is something that should have dealt with very swiftly, and harshly (if necessary). Having them both drag on has done NO ONE any favours at all.

Parkdrive Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Wasn't there a similar episode of alleged racism between Peter Schmiechel and Ian Wright some years back?

Otta Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I'm not sure, but I don't think the FA got involved in that one, it was just an accusation from Wright.Whatever the truth, they clearly didn't like each other!
