Not sure where to post this so I'll leave it here.
Seems that sponsors might finally be waking up to Blatters effect on their brand.

and they shouldnt be. how do things get allowed to get to this level of shit? brands no longer wanting to be associated with some of the biggest events in world football.

absolutely diabolical and still they have the nerve to tell clubs and people how they should behave.

 

[SM]

Really interesting and positive move by the club.

Mino Raiola is going to stand for FIFA President.

Talk about out of the frying pan.

What happened to Ginola? Busy with his hair?

my favourite part was him talking about how fifa are just in it for the money

no wonder the job appealed to him so much.

That is a not a serious bid. Paddypower are involved.

 

[Rough_Edges]

We're in seriously bad form at the moment....

First real test of Monk's managerial career, interesting if he has what it takes to get us out of it.

 

[Magma]

i guess it goes in here that it's believed bojan may have done his acl against rochdale and is out for 9 months

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Bojan was looking good too.

He never seems to catch a break.

 

[Jatz]

That's terrible.

 

[Cruyff14]

I read 6 months?

 

[Jatz]

If it's an ACL it's normally closer to 9 unless he's getting LARS done.

How long was Walcott out?

 

[Cruyff14]

Yeah around 10 I think.

Good read on the Kramaric debut:

Hopefully that wrong diving call doesn't hurt his confidence.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

That's a shame for Bojan, didn't he just score a belter of a goal in the FA Cup recently?


EDIT: Was the same game he did his ACL in.

Goal:

slightly off tangent but the sudden surge in people being booked when they've actually been fouled is absolutely ridiculous.

i can understand missing a penalty call, they can be tough to make. but players being carded for diving when they've been fouled? when there's usually about 5 other dives a game that go unpunished is absolutely ridiculous.

Couldn't agree more. Not only do we not get the penalty but we also get punished because the ref is incompetent.

This is why we need video technology. 20 secs and we could have had the right decision.

I know that feel. Happened with Fab against Southampton (cost us 2 points maybe) and Costa against I think Burnley (didn't cost(a) anything at least).

Cahill against us?

 

[chef]

Cahill against us?

And against Pool

 

[Loonerty]

Cahill against us?

Well no, that's not like the examples I listed.

 

[SM]

No, it's an occasion where you got away with one. Swings and roundabouts.

 

[Tulip]

Against us too...twice

 

[Loonerty]

No, it's an occasion where you got away with one. Swings and roundabouts.

What? "Getting away with one" in this case would be an opposing player being fouled in the area and getting a yellow for diving.
