The Soccer Thread (IV)

I crap things which look better than RBNY.

 

I'm sure you've read about it by now, but the goals went to Cesc (2), Denilson, Vermaelen, Gallas and Eduardo. Saha scored for Everton.

 

C. Davies with a brace in a loss to last years champions Bordeaux.

 

Red Scum beats Blue Scum 1-0 on a goal by Rooney.

 

Huge controversy in the Championship yesterday. Crystal Palace had a goal not given after the ball hit the bottom corner of the goal and kicked right back out. Pretty much everyone saw it except, apparently, the three guys in black. Crystal Palace ended up losing, 1-0.

The annoying music at the beginning of this video goes away after a few seconds.

 

Jamie Carragher just got 12 staples in a two-inch gash from a clash of heads with Martin Skrtel, and he's back on. Who says soccer players aren't tough?

 

Shit.

 

Damn nice strike there.

North London 7-1 Scousers

 

Crap. More zone marking nonsense.

 

So if the question was 'which Big 4 team will look the best this weekend?', how many people would have said Arsenal?

 

That's awful. And the League is refusing to allow the match to be replayed.

Warnock is a qualified referee, ironically enough, but he also has a bad reputation for calling out...well, everybody. I've got to wonder if that would have been replayed if that weren't the case.

 

I don't think the League can allow it to be replayed. It would open a massive Pandora's Box.

The only precedent I can think of it the Arsenal FA Cup match where Kanu stole a back-pass after an injury and scored. Arsenal offered that replay, though. I think even if Bristol City offered it, it wouldn't work, though.

And it was in the 30th minute, so it's not like they couldn't have gone down and scored.
