Aye, not saying he shouldn't have, but let's face it, he didn't exactly wound him or anything and the ****ing meal that dirty cunt made out of it just had me going again. Live n learn...

never a truer word spoken

I've slept on this and crouch should have cut the cunt in half, if your gonna get a 3 game ban then make it worth it

Agreed. Sense as always from Kaip.

What pisses me off the most is the inconsistent decisions by the refs. Crouch's tackle is not as bad as Kuyt's in the derby yet he got red and Kuyt got a yellow. Not advocating the tackle, Crouch was stupid.
Its a continous trend in the Prem nowadays, some players get the rub of YELLOW some get the RED.
Another example was Zokora yesterday, his tackle on Elano was not that bad yet he got sent off.
Truth of the matter is the refs association has to get their **** together and stop fooking up the beautiful game. If they're gonna say the player had "intent" then that is utter BOLLOX its like predicting the future.

Every time a player makes a two footed challenge he should be be sent off because that is a very dangerous tackle even if it don't hit the player.

The English refs must start to show more yellow and red cards or the players will be injured because of the stupid refs who thinks it's a fair challenge when you go into a tackle with your studs. That's isn't fair, it's a tackle by a coward and that's a big difference.

You can make the game flow even if it's 10 yellows and two reds for example because the skillful players would be allowed to make the game flow.

The English refs are ****, nothing more, nothing less, they are ****, and the players get injured because of them.

You can't even compare an english ref with an italian or spanish one because they are so much better and can see the difference between a fair tackle and a coward tackle.

I think, in fairness, that's what he tried to do.

Can they ****!

I can't even watch Spanish football, it's that appalling. There is so much diving and handbag tackling, it's not even funny, refs blowing the whistle for a tackle which had less impact than a silent fart on my boxershorts.

I think you're exaggerating (lol, there's a first) and over-analysing in your own unique, reality-skewed way.

However I do believe that English refs could be better (allround). And by better I mean more consistent. Refs here all seem to have their own style which shouldn't be. There should be more consistency throughout.

But then again, to be complaining about the Refs shouldn't really be top of the agenda.

I agree but it's top of the agenda when they allow tackles from behind or two footed challenges without showing the red card.

It's the dirty tackles that must be stamped out. Take the tackle on Arbeloa for example by Diouf, he got a yellow for that tackle. It's a red 100 times out of 100. The ref shouldn't even consider to give a yellow in that situation.

There should be more consistency just as you say. Maybe I went a little bit over the top when I said that the spanish and italian refs are miles better but you get my point.

The players in that leagues know what you are allowed to do and not to do, the players in the PL don't.

Great post mate.

I don't want the Premier League turning into any of those continental leagues where a shoulder to shoulder challenge is a free kick or where a tackle like Gerrard's on Anderson would be a yellow card.

You think............but he missed both knee's

[The Glove]

Wouldnt be arsed by Crouch getting a 3 match ban, he didnt play anyway.
