Jimothy Posted 2 January 2012 Posted 2 January 2012 If the FA can rescind a red card retrospectively, in other words change the referee's decision, why can't they do it the other way? The FA should be able to, in blatant cases such as the Lampard one, give a retrospective red card.
AjcW Posted 2 January 2012 Posted 2 January 2012 Dont know if this has been posted elsewhere but.... Thats Norwich's Bradley Johnson incase anyone was wondering, who was allegedly head butted by Barton today. Not particularly doing himself any favours but still funny
Bugg Posted 2 January 2012 Posted 2 January 2012 No way was that a red card. Even Holt was arguing with the ref about it.
Bert Posted 2 January 2012 Posted 2 January 2012 Johnson always has and always will be. Even the face he's pulling in that photo is ridiculous. Paul Lambert has impressed me a lot.
Narborough_fox Posted 2 January 2012 Posted 2 January 2012 Ian Stringer @StringerSport23s @arlowhite got to know him really well at Wycombe. Banter flies, very sarcastic+dry. Applied for #lcfc job when Ollie left, no reply, oops We could of had Lambert lads.
Corky Posted 2 January 2012 Posted 2 January 2012 In fairness, we were one game away from repeating what Lambert has done at Norwich. And what if Colchester had won 1-0 at Norwich rather than 7-1? He's done a sterling job there, they'll do well to hold on to him.
MikeyT Posted 3 January 2012 Author Posted 3 January 2012 I must be the only person on here who actually likes Arsenal. I used to like them. But Wenger just pisses me off now. He blames every decision on every one else even when it's one of his players faults, and he only seems to see the "incidents" that go against his team and never the ones that his team cause. "Erm I did not see the incident". What a surprise Arsene!

Wenger believed that the dismissal of his defender Johan Djourou, with 12 minutes left and Arsenal leading, had cost his side the game. "The referee influenced the game in completely the wrong way in my opinion, and we cannot influence that," he said. "In the last 10 minutes we lost the game because we were down to 10 men." Djourou was booked twice in the second half, for fouling Moussa Dembélé and then Bobby Zamora. Wenger disagreed with both decisions. "The first yellow card was not a yellow card, the second yellow card was a foul for us." Wenger's frustrations were compounded as Chelsea had earlier beaten Wolverhampton, with Frank Lampard grabbing the late winner to lift his side to fourth ahead of Arsenal. Probert's non-award of a penalty also angered Wenger. "It was 100 per cent a penalty for the foul on Gervinho from [Phillipe] Senderos in the first half. The referee had a massive influence on the game like that," he said. Wenger suggested that Probert, whom he said "got it all wrong and all on the same side", fell for Fulham's attempts to have Djourou sent off. "At the moment you get the first yellow card they tried every time to get him the second yellow and the referee was naïve enough to give it," he said. The Arsenal manager claimed the second-half introduction of Kerim Frei was central to Fulham's plans. "When Djourou got the first, every time he intervened they went down to get him a second yellow, and Djourou did nothing at all," he said. "I saw it coming, because the game when Frei came on was all that: look for the second yellow card for Djourou, and in the end he got it." Unsurprisingly, Wenger was frustrated at the three points lost. "It was a massive missed opportunity," he said. "We have consistent problems to face and we do it with heart and it's very difficult defeat to swallow the defeat as I feel it wasn't deserved."
MC Prussian Posted 3 January 2012 Posted 3 January 2012 Hmmm.... Tottenham take the lead through Defore (assist by Bale).
jonthefox Posted 3 January 2012 Posted 3 January 2012 Hmmm.... Tottenham take the lead through Defore (assist by Bale). I still maintain they'll be challenging for the title in may.
MC Prussian Posted 3 January 2012 Posted 3 January 2012 Great game in Manchester - red card for Barry, then a counter attack for the home side and Skrtel touches Touré in the box. Penalty - 3-0 Milner. Woohoo.
