Alright Sort of the Year - 2012

Steve Walsh - he was declaring for Ireland as big Mick asked him but he burst his cruciate and never played again. He told me he is a fenian and loves Ireland and Robbie Keane ruined his mangerial career :clap:

May aswell lock this thread Chewy, hard to believe there’ll be a better alright sort than Steve.

Oooooh friend…football friend .

I fully expect to hear about Chewys first homosexual experience shortly.

Rose Dugdale

Andy Lee

Rachel Allen - the gamey bitch

Besides your sexual attraction what makes her an alright sort?

Her accent is dire, and her recipes even worse.

I’d give her one barrel, tops.

Antony Worrall Thompson. Really improving the perception of shoplifting as a crime by nicking wine and cheese.

Philip Bromwell

Graham Arnold

Vincent Kompany, lock this thread

Dear all,

I appealed because I obviously completely disagreed with the interpretation of the officials on the day but that happens in football and we move on. I wonder though if we are now going to see an unprecedented wave of red cards on match days because we sanction “if’s” and “maybe’s”? Are we going to look back at video evidence for every single challenge that goes unnoticed by the officials, look at different scenarios and potential outcomes of what could have been considered a good tackle and then sanction it?

Players and managers are starting to expect more sending offs from referees and I think it’s for the wrong reasons. My understanding is that English football prides itself on the hardness, the fairness and the tradition of its game.

That is why hundreds of millions of people tune in to watch Premier League football and English referees have always been a key factor to that success in my opinion. So I don’t agree with people saying that referees in this country aren’t doing well as I think they are the best in the world. Hopefully common sense will prevail again in the future and I for one hope not to see consistency in sending offs and suspensions when the intent of a player is to win the ball.

I’d like to add to this that I waited for the suspension to be confirmed before making any comments on the matter as I didn’t want to give the impression that I was using the media as a tool to benefit my own personal agenda in this case. I’m not speaking on behalf of the club or anybody else, this isn’t me defending myself, this is just me raising a genuine concern.

If football fans decide I’m wrong in raising these concerns then I will have no problem in accepting the fact that times are changing again for our game.

Kompany’s a class act on and off the pitch. :clap:

Ferguson scouted him at Celtic Park playing for Anderlecht in the Champions League as an 18-year old and ended up signing Liam Miller instead. :clap:

Martin “Wolfie” Adams

Steven Gerrard.

Ray Stubbs.

The game needs more of that. Fantastic stuff.
