Sorry to invade your board as a hammers fan but as were not talking premiership stuff i guess its ok. Tell me if im wrong.
the points i make are:
We lost the game yesterday because of bad management. The selection proces was a joke, one injured forward (Rooney), one injury prone (Owen), one Crouch (crouch) and one on the say of north londons french twat (Walcott-Wenger). Then with what he had seleceted he played in a formation that suited no-one but our oponents. To suggest Rooneys sending off cost us the match is wrong, we clearly played better than we had in the whole tournement following his red card.
The matter of video evidence has to be brought in. Im sick of cheats. If a player is adjudged to have dived then make it a straight red. Its the only way to stop the cheats. I have also lost count of the amount of times players have gone down clutching various parts of their anatomies only for the replay to show they werent even touched there. Whats worse, a lunging tackle when full of adrenaline or a pre-conceived attempt to cheat the referee?
Let the physio on while the game is in progress like they do in rugby. To feign injury and get a team who are mounting a counter attack to kick the ball out is bad enough. Then from the resulting throw to either a. keep the ball or b. to kick it out deep into the honest teams corner and put them under pressure is a disgrace.
Anyway, tell me to f*** off back to my own board if you feel like it but at a moment of national discussion suh as this i was interested see see what you guys made of it .
