Pull your pants up Pardew and stop talking out of your arse! Was the Cisse effort over the line? I've no bloody idea. I watched it in real time and thought it was, but then watched replays and freeze frames and was convinced it wasn't. Or it may have been. But then again it wasn't. But perhaps on reflection it could have been. But no, no it wasn't. Or maybe...
But after the game, Pardew was ranting that the linesman should have given the goal. Why? Because Pardew "thought it was in, at the time". Time to check the rules of football because I have never seen the sub clause, "A goal should be awarded when the manager of a team thinks, at the time, that the ball has crossed the line". That was presumably introduced at the insistence of Ferguson!
I don't have the exact wording in front of me, but it has something to do with "the whole of the ball being over the whole of the line" as Jimmy Hill used to delight in telling Brian Moore, and for an assistant to award a goal, he has to be convinced that has happened. Even with TV replays, nobody can be sure either way, so had the goal been awarded, it would have been, as they say, "a travesty".
I know times are desperate at Newscastle but Pants Down shouldn't be making himself look even more ridiculous than he already does!
I see you don't know that there are no 'rules' as you say it
ReplyDeletejust the 'laws of Association Football'
so you make yourself look a bigger fool saying that he doesn't know the 'rules' ha ha ha
doubt that this will get published but it made my day that you believe yourself a writer
what no comments like ????
ReplyDeleteha ha ha ha ha
ReplyDeletedon't you know the 'Laws of Association Football'
idiot
I couldn't agree with you more about Pardew. God that guy talks some sh:te. I'll never forget that game at Upton Park in 2004/05 when Leeds had 2 cast iron penalties turned down (which he agreed). Then when Healy dived last minute to secure a draw he starts complaining, "just because the ref missed the first 2 incidents doesn't give you the right to cheat". Count yourself lucky we only got the 1 penalty rather than the 2 you admit we deserved.
ReplyDeleteWhat a tit.
You liar ,, you didn't watch it in real time ,, it can't be physically possible to get back from upton park and write the blogs you wrote yesterday afternoon ,,, do you think were simple gimp boy ,,, you're an arm chair footy nerd , anyway what i can't figure out is how you can see trough the gas mask to type on your mums pc ,, get back in your kennel gimp

ReplyDeleteYou've always been a big Pards fan, HF. Often lobbying for him to be brought back. Would you still have him next time the job opens up?
ReplyDeleteGood question Dave. Probably yes.

Dave, HF,
ReplyDeleteToo many question marks with him. He seems to do well, plateau then drop badly. Us, Southampton and now Newcastle.
HF, no end of match report? Thought you might have acknowledged that short of an unprecedented collapse in goal differences we are "mathematically" safe! The key is the last day Villa v Wigan match. Barring the bottom 2 every team could equal or surpass our 43 points however Wigan needs to win every game, and therefore must beat Villa who could then only max out at 43 pts with a current goal diff 13 worst than ours. I'm sure the stoke/Sunderland/Southampton fixtures probably leads to a similar conclusion, but the goal diff is not so clear cut!
ReplyDeleteThere wasn't a lot to say was there TH? Terrible judgement from Jussi when he charged out of goal - he should realise that electric mobility scooters aren't that quick - and a couple of goal mouth scrambles in the Newscastle box. Bit of a damp squib game.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, we are safe. So safe that I was cheering on Wigan against Spurs and West Brom. I hope they avoid the drop and would love one of Sunderland, Newscastle or Stoke to go down; but I fear it will be Norwich.
Stani, I agree with you. I am not a Pards fan at all and have disagreed with HF on that point. I wondered if his rant indicated a change in stance. Clearly it has not.
ReplyDeleteToo much Romanian booze, I guess.
One day, HF, you will see the light over the man I call That Pr*#ck Pards.
It may be Dave, but after Zola, Grant and Allardyce, I'd have anybody!
ReplyDeleteJust a quick article HF:
ReplyDeleteGoalkeeper for next season? Get Alex McCarthy NOW!
As the season draws to a close and we begin to look to next season, the goalkeeping position is one we will be looking to strengthen over the summer with Jussi Jasskelainen now in the twilight of his career.
Yesterday I read an article linking us with Brad Guzan, who without doubt is a good goalkeeper. It would be an improvement if we did get him, but how much of an improvement? Though the American international has been keeping Shay Given out of the Aston Villa side, Villa have struggled this season and shipped in a few goals on more than one occasion. Obviously the goalkeeper cannot be entirely blamed for this, but Guzan has always come across – to coin a phrase from an ex-West Ham 'keeper, David James – as a bit camerish to me.
My choice? Well there's one young 'keeper that has really caught my eye in the few appearances he has made this season, and that is Reading's Alex McCarthy. Tall, brave, agile, alert, and just 23 years of age. In my view he will be worth more than £15 million before too long and will be the one to take over from Joe Hart as England's number one. I am astonished he hasn’t already been snapped up by a bigger club, and leaves me quite anxious that we could be missing out on a future superstar.
Manager Sam Allardyce should act now. We have already missed out on another promising young 'keeper in Jack Butland, who signed for Stoke in the January window for a bargain £3.5 million whilst we stood there twiddling our thumbs.
