watch closely, Baird withdraws his leg. Johnson actually kicks out about a yard to make contact. if Johnson had continued running normally there would have been no contact.

Yes. The withdrawal of the leg makes it look like Johnson's has been swept, because its such an unnatural movement from Johnson

I'm not condoning the dive, but at full speed, you're always going to give that

Llorente scores for Bilbao. That's his 6th goal in 3 games, and 8 in his last 6 appearances.

Exactly. Real time, it looked a very clear pen. Slow motion replays from a different angle indicated that it was a dive.

Get someone in to help these mostly incompetent fudgers.

Spot the ball

I was about to ask - why no orange ball? Have they gone with that now? no more orange balls?

 

[mudshark]

When we scored two and almost beat Emirates Marketing Project?

=D>

No, but in general.

Good job chants don't win matches or championships

Thank GHod, what a stodgy affair obviously not helped by a dose of typically MISERABLE northern weather!

I've just watched Tony Pulis' interview, complaining about the ref ruining the game for fans, I can only assume it's because he wanted his team of all in wrestlers to do it instead. fudging clown shoe gets his team to play a thuggish brand of non-football and then complains when people have worked out one of the ways to beat them is to use their reputation against them.

Diving and simulation is all wrong, but so is eye gouging and intimidation, I'm happy to go with two wrongs make a right in this case.

 

[Spaceman]

pulis complaining about the ref after a loss, really?
