Comments on: Disgraceful http://www.epltalk.com/disgraceful/3039 Daily News & Analysis of the English Premier League Sun, 22 Nov 2009 02:41:41 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Charlie http://www.epltalk.com/disgraceful/3039#comment-21072 Charlie Sat, 30 Aug 2008 20:16:01 +0000 http://www.epltalk.com/disgraceful/3039#comment-21072 Personally, I thought it was funny. I'm not convinced it was intentional, but whether it was or not I wouldn't have had a problem if Scholesy had been given a straight red for it -- the rules are the rules. As a United supporter, I can tell you that if that goal had actually stood through some incredible fluke of luck, I would have been embarassed. We didn't deserve to win this match. Note to United: This is what happens when you try to "mail it in." It was a thorough ass kicking, and Zenit deserves full marks for their delivery said kicking. I have no doubt The Hairdryer was blasting away at warp speed following the match. Personally, I thought it was funny.

This offense should have been a straight red, thus resulting in a 3-match ban. Yes, Scholes was sent off but only becuase it was his second yellow.

How can you possibly say "sometimes the ref(umpire) looks the other way, especially in this case." Especially in this case!? The goal didn't count and Scholes got sent off - now he'll miss the first Champions League match against Villareal. If that's "looking the other way" then I don't even want to imagine what would have happened otherwise...

Trust me, I've said a lot of controversial things before on this blog which have pissed people off. If you don't like what specific readers say, skip their posts. Same applies to mine if some readers don't like what I say. It's similar to a newspaper like the New York Times which has a bunch of opinion writers. Some articles anger people, but what the Times provides are several different writers giving their own opinions. Cheers, The Gaffer Todd,

PS18 made a serious mistake, some would say it was out of effort. id say it was a blatant attempt to cheat, much like a dive late in a match. but this was more obvious so idiots like to make a huge deal. many united fans are very upset at this...for many diverse reasons. gaffer, i read these blog posts and i can tell the difference between you and the idiots each time. either maintain quality or ill stop coming back. im bored with responding to worthless blogs. eventually itll become too boring gaffer…another reason to stop reading this blog. fuck me, these amateurs are ruining your brand.
