To clear up the argument about shoulder charge/barge, shoulder charge is a rugby term and shoulder barge is a football term.

That's what I thought. A bit of a monster hit in rugby, didn't they ban it?

Ravel Morrison is a good player!

apparently man U receive 25k for every game Ravel plays for West Spam. Thats expensive

Spurs have scored 9 goals in 10 games, Suarez has scored 8 in 6.

Spurs have scored 6212 goals in 3844 league games, Suarez on the other hand is a small footnote and just one proper tackle away from the end of his career.

When you consider that they paid 650k for him I don't think it's that much of an issue.

 

[BrainOfLevy]

Chris isnt too clever, is he?

Everyone knows that WHU play 4-6-0 away from home, so what does he do?

Play 4-4-2 which means that they get totally overrun in midfield

It's not as simple as that.

 

[Mumorn]

and Norwich equalise from the spot.

 

[thfcsteff]

hahahahahaahaahahhaah oh man...he actually gave that? with that clear view he has too?

Just beggars belief...

 

[Spursalot]

Looks like hughton lives to fight another day..

 

[Jordinho]

Yes. Get the ****e down where they belong.

 

[thfcsteff]

Glad for Chrissy proving he can turn it around there...

 

[thfcsteff]

RUGGER!
Fat Sam is a ****

 

[Rossi22]

Snodgrass is lucky he can take a free kick.

I was saying to a Norwich fan the other day that they will get a run of decent results at some point. They have been under pressure from some tough fixtures so far: away to us, goons, Emirates Marketing Project, home to Everton, Chelsea. They'll pick up a few results and be lower mid-table imo.

 

[Hotshot-Tottenham]

it's barge, it's definitely barge

I have always said "shoulder barge."

more to the point, are you not allowed to do it, I remember many an appeal from my playing days of "shoulder barge ref"

That sounds more american. It is 100% shoulder barge and always has been.

To clear up the argument about shoulder charge/barge, shoulder charge is a rugby term and shoulder barge is a football term.

It seems I'm in the minority! :lol:

That being the case, I did a little googling (you just couldn't let it lie!) and found this on the FA site...

Charging an opponent
The act of charging is a challenge for space using physical contact within playing distance of the ball without using arms or elbows.
It is an offence to charge an opponent:
• in a careless manner
• in a reckless manner
• using excessive force


Dunno if that backs me up or not but couldn't see anything referring to a 'barge' in the laws, so I'd venture that charge is the term used by the law makers.

Either way, it's semantics, but when I'd played youth and school football, it was always referred to as a charge.

[Jordinho]

Snodgrass is lucky he can take a free kick.

The general consensus among Norwich fans is that he'll either score an absolute beauty or hit it into row Z. Most of the time the latter. Apart from that he doesn't add much to the team.

Seriously how the f#ck did we lose 3-0 at home to this West Ham team?

 

[the dza]

Hotshot -- it could be one of those things that is said incorrectly so often (by the likes of me!) that it has become the normal term.

 

[Mumorn]

3-1 get in.

happy for Norwich and Hughton

 

[the dza]

Good goal Fer. 3-1.

Total freak result/performance imo.
