Keef Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Very true! I will tip my hat to Chelsea if they beat Barca tomorrow, but Man U vs Barca would be tasty.

ratty Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Fooking tight on Fletcher. What a shocking decision by the ref. Poor sod! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5028-on-the-ball-new-football-focus/page/70/#findComment-198917 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Hmmm, commentators saying the red card was a terrible error. He got the tip of his toe on the ball, but undoubtely took the man too. I don't really know what the score is there, the player had no chance to chase the ball. Sad for the player if it stands.

SeanMacGabhann Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 The ref has been poor. The fact that fletcher was sent off is shocking but to not be even able to appeal is just unbelievable Unrelated note...

matthew123 Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 It would have been a bigger mistake by the Referee having given a penalty not to have sent Fletcher off as the last defender Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5028-on-the-ball-new-football-focus/page/70/#findComment-198935 Share on other sites More sharing options...
???? Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I think that Arsenal fans will now have to face the fact that they are (by some margin) the poorest of the big 4- maybe they were a bit unlucky early on,,,,but they were thoroughly outplayed last week and lucky to get away with 1-0 then.

matthew123 Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 Well it's a shame Arsenal have not kicked on since last season, but it was always going to be difficult after the majority of their midfield walked in the summer. Can Wenger turn it around as it must be hard for the Maestro to motivate himself?

Sandperson Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 We looked very good last night. A deserved win. It was a shame about Fletcher and it would be great to have him back but I think it would be asking a lot to have the card withdrawn. It was alos a shame that it was that young lad Gibbs who slipped over for the first goal as he looks like a good prospect and he shouldn't let it rattle him. JSP still had a lot of work to do to score though. I keep banging on to friends (I do have some!) about how underrated Park and O'Shea are and they pop up and repay my loyalty. :))As for below the belt Keef...videos of Gerard kissing the camera and various other posts by your lot when you beat us? I'm not one to join in, of course, but I've heard there's 50,000 red and white flags for sale in north London, only used for 11 minutes. Let me know if you're interested. ;-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5028-on-the-ball-new-football-focus/page/70/#findComment-199036 Share on other sites More sharing options...
red devil Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Plastic flags for plastic supporters, half their 'support' hightailed it with 30 mins to go, at the very least they should've stayed until the end and applauded their team off, an acknowledgement for reaching the semi-final of a major competition...

matthew123 Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 It was only a few weeks ago United fans booed United off the pitch at half time against Spurs..As for plastic fans, what about United having their employees on the touchline waving giants flags before their European games..Hope there is no trouble when United return to Rome - but I suspect some will be looking to settle some old scores.

Sandperson Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 What are you on about Matthew? I assume you mean flag waving staff, as in the same sort of thing as the Champions League circle things that get wafted by kids on the pitch before games and the giant flags that get passed around over the crowd? I think they probably do similar things to that at most grounds don't they? It's like having cheerleaders at an NFL game.I certainly don't remember any booing at the Spurs game either.What's the matter? Are you a little biddy bit jealous of our second consecutive European Cup final? Bit worried we are getting close to your 5 European cups and 18 leagues? SAF certainly is getting close to knocking Liverpool off their F****** perch...:)) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5028-on-the-ball-new-football-focus/page/70/#findComment-199069 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atila Reincarnate Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Now now children, play nicely in the playground. Fair play to ManUre they were the better side and I personally was disgusted by the number of fans who left early and made my feelings known to them as they left the ground. I meet a mate who let me have use of his season ticket for the boro game and went to meet him in a pub outside the ground to return it. As they left the ground and went past the pub I was in I let rip with both barrells. It is the ifrst time in my life that I've been ashamed to be associated with such w**nkers. But my faith and love for the club will never die. As for Red Devils jibe, well let's see if you get past Chavski or Barca. Come on Barca!!!

Sandperson Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Well, you've been talking Barca up for a while now AG so I hope they return your faith in them tonight. I'd like to play them in the final.

Jah Lush Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Ha ha! Laughed my tits watching the Scum throw it away within the first quarter of an hour. They were outplayed and outclassed by a very good United side. You've gotta feel for the boy Gibbs for his slip that let Park in to score but I suspect he would have done so anyway and Fletcher who'll miss the final because of a referee's mistake.If Barca score first in tonight's game anything could happen and I suspect Barca could sneak it and I'd rather Barca went through than the nouveau riche Chavski as it would make a better final than a repeat of last year's. But it could go either way. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5028-on-the-ball-new-football-focus/page/70/#findComment-199076 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atila Reincarnate Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Laugh all you like Jah, at least we've been plaing in the Champs League year in year out unlike Spuds, who are still dreamimg of playing in the competition and 48 years and counting since your last title.
