Good evening,
I remember going to night clubs in the late eighties and giving men who looked like Stoke players a really wide berth. They were pasty faced behemoths with glassy eyed, heavily booze sedated glares. Occasionally they focused upon their prey and those daft enough to meet their gaze were too frequently met with an immediate threat of violence.
The first half was near unwatchable. And I’m not whining just because we trudged off two goals to the worse. It was anti football all the way. Stoke hoofed and Huthed their way again and again into our penalty area. If any other Premiership outfit when awarded a throw in gave a 15/20 second burst of Irish dancing (just for example) prior to throwing the ball, they would be penalized without hesitation.
But with Stoke the ceremony of the towel, the ball cleansing, rubbing, examinaion and finally the run up prior to launch appears to now be a welcomed part of the game. Hell, they’ve even let them sew a towel into the inside of their shirts.
The second half was a mess. Chris Foy is a retarded and incontinent old woman and that’s about as constructive as I can be about him.
A dreadful game.
Anyone who says the cynical foul on Modric wasn’t a penalty is retarded (hello relatives of Chris Foy), biased or blind
Call me retarded then ’cause I don’t think it was a pen. Modric went down far too easily for my liking and this is not the sort of thing I want to see a chicken-badge wearer indulging in.
But by giving the pen at least Foy maintained a level of incompetent consistency rarely seen even in this day and age.
He did make the most of it, but he was fouled in the box, so it’s a pen…
The defender starts to protest but then gives up: he knows he’s caught his shin, even if Modric does then take another step before his dying swan act… ;)
I’m sure that fans of other teams will call us whingers etc but that refereeing ‘performance’ was an absolute fucking disgrace. I’ve never seen such an embarrassing display, to say that it bordered on the criminal is a massive understatement.
As far as Stoke are concerned, they really are a boil on the arse of football.
