*Official* English Football Season 2009-2010

[duffer]

Big case for a red there. Slotted home by Milner though.

EDIT: Early goal best thing that could've happened for the game too.

 

[Jarquis]

Ref well and truly bottled the sending off there.

 

[Loony BoB]

Have to say, Vidic makes a lot of these red card situations when he's the last man. I'm not sure it's the best thing to do this early in the game, sometimes it's better off just... letting the keeper make an attempt to save. That was always going to be a penalty and was always (or apparently not) going to be a red card. He doesn't seem his normal self this season, not nearly half as good as the last season, even when you take into consideration his injuries it still doesn't add up for me. Just not as good.

 

[duffer]

Wait so how does Collins get booked for that Vidic get nothing? Mind blowing.

 

[Loony BoB]

Vidic didn't even get a yellow?

Owen scores - 11 starts (and 20 subs), 9 goals!

Tuned in as the pen was being taken. Commentator said that when Collins was getting booked so I assumed it was the case.

 

[Loony BoB]

Checked the Beeb and you're right, no booking. I'll take it as a United fan, but with a guilty look on my face... doesn't really feel right winning when you're getting away with stuff like that, admittedly. Although maybe after our last game against Villa they wouldn't want to be seen against 10 of us again

EDIT: Yellow for everyone but Vidic, it seems.

 

[Jarquis]

Why wasn't Carrick booked?

 

[Loony BoB]

Not sure. Made the edit on my last post thinking he was about to get booked but I guess Dowd is playing Mister Inconsistency today.

EDIT: Also, 22 minutes in and this game is already great on the eye, if not on the head.

Were Villa ahead when you went a man down last time?

 

[Loony BoB]

Rafael gets away without a yellow this time. Getting a little embarrassing.

EDIT: duffer - nope, was a draw.

Aston Villa 1 - 1 Man Utd (1-1 HT)
Cuellar (19)
Collins (og 23)

Bookings:
Evans (26)
Sent off:
Nani (29)

Here's a question for anyone who knows the rules well - if a yellow/red is not given in the match, then retrospective punishments can be given on occasion, yeah? What happens if it's part of a penalty?

 

[Jarquis]

Victoria Cocordia Crescit.

You'll be leading the campaign for United to return 11 Premier Leagues and whatever else you've won in the 90s/00s then...

Nope. It's only for an incident the referee missed.

I think if he'd spotted the shirt-pull when Agbonlahor was running through it was a definite red. If he's giving it for the clumsy tackle then I can see a case for showing a yellow.

 

[grecian]

ah well , that'll put a quick end to the "owen for England" nonsense.

Really don't care who wins this don't like either side

Don't talk bollocks lad, you want Villa to win

In that case I can't think for the life of me why he's not got a card. That was my only other theory - he wasn't sure and figured if he gave a yellow then it can't be changed. No idea.

 

[Nate]

Liverpool scoring goals, whattttttttttt

meh, can't be bothered to support that weasel-faced bloke the vanillillas have as manager, i think i'll watch T4 and see if jam-jam is wearing a short skirt...
