Premier League 2018-2019 Part II

[YNWA14]

I guess I meant I'm not sure why no one seems to care to change it. It's just accepted that running out like you're a 4 year old who didn't get your way is a perfectly reasonable thing to do and is shrugged off.

The same reason why it's okay to bean a batter for showing off.

I didn't see the incident for Poch. Did he go onto the field to scream at an official? Or this was after the game he got into it with them?

According to some Mike Dean said something offensive. That's why Poch pointed toward the camera, probably asking him to repeat it. When Poch was asked about it afterwards he said it was nothing.

As for the Sanchez incident at the NLD, I find it incredibly petty to complain about that.

It wasn't a stamp. Koscielny has his leg in the air, and Sanchez pushed it away (a bit violently, I can admit that). Probably a yellow if the ref had noticed, but in no way should the FA take action after the game.

Arsenal´s wage bill. Amazing.

Deduct points please.

This is going to be spicy.

And how is that a good thing?

I'm not a rugby fan, but my impression is that players and coaches behave completely differently.

In handball there are generally far less issues with refs and refereeing (not saying it doesn't happen - and there have been some fairly ridiculous incidents). Culture is different. Partly because when you break the rules punishment is immediate and strictly enforced.

I used to play both handball and football at a decent level. As a handball player I would talk to refs, but never shout or have any heated discussions. As a football player I did in almost every game.

As long as the FA is consistent going forward I have no issues with this.

Rugby has come a long way from where it was back in the day. The sanctions are also more severe, I doubt footballers would piss and moan as much if there was an ability to reverse the penalty, in turn costing your team field position or points, and if getting a yellow meant you would sit for 10mins. In handball, you're quiet because the refs completely control the game and they are mostly awful. Talk out of turn and you're sitting for two. One time I got a red card in the first 5mins of the game because I asked why my teammate got a 2min suspension before we even got cautioned by a yellow card

Spurs new stadium is said to be called "Nike Stadium".

In that case, it's really cool that the Greek goddess of victory decided to sponsor our stadium. Thank god it isn't a corporation, right?

I am scared of who is going to be working in the concession stands

Deduct points please.

How would this work? Deduct points this season? Start next season with negative points?

I don't know how it actually works but if they did breach the rules they should lose points for every season they benefited from it.

The Ox got about 40 minutes in his comeback until he had to come off with some muscle issues..

20 points from last year. United with another title. Seems good to me.

As long as it's 20 points from this season as well (but before the season is over, since winning the title post-season is lame).

It would also be funny for the Mourinho quotes.

Deduct points please.

Would you want to win the league like that though? They'll probably just get a transfer ban if that.

I was thinking about this. It would definitely deduct some satisfaction.

Well they cheated. I wouldn't care tbh.

Really? No. Every big team has some questionable finances. I'd much rather somehow beat what may be the most dominant PL team ever to the title.

 

[bleedblue1223]

I'd only be fine with losing points if the violations were so bad that it had a real material affect on the squad that was put together, if the typical starting 11 would've been significantly different, or even in a spot or 2. Otherwise, just transfer ban and fine and move on.

Not surprised by this.

Genuine question related to this: how do Inter fans feel about the retroactively given 2005-06 title?

Not an inter fan but the whole point of a trophy win is to win after the game is played not in a ticker, a news report, or on goggle search engine. I personally wouldn't consider it a win at all.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

And LFC cheated for VVD plus other I'm assuming.

Nah, only new rich cheat.
