Fulham Post Match Thread

What has the world come too when you put a finger up to a crowd and you can get banned from doing your job

According to Wiki

The abuse that Beckham was receiving from English supporters peaked during England's 3–2 defeat by Portugal in Euro 2000, a match where Beckham set up two goals, when a group of England supporters taunted him throughout the match.[136] Beckham responded by raising his middle finger and, while the gesture attracted some criticism, many of the newspapers that had previously encouraged his vilification asked their readers to stop abusing him

He's been stupid tbh.

Nice one. No punishment?

it'll be at least 3 games, unless its get brushed under the carpet while the other issue gets punished.

Kevin Friend has done 39 premier league games, reffed everyone but Man Utd. Weird.

Suarez really does need to adapt to the English game more and stay on his feet. He isn't doing himself any favours. He is clearly looking for the foul constantly and referees are less likely to give it. If he uses his balance and strength more sensibly he can stay on his feet and score goals. Suarez is getting hammered by defenders, but because he's over-dramatising the situation the referees aren't interested. Surely he must have realised this by now? It's getting really frustrating watching him throwing himself to the floor, it really isn't helping us to get results.

[danperkins]

Nonsense. I doubt the ref would have minded at all if we'd created chances and scored the goals our possession deserved. We could and should have won that game comfortably yet we're hear discussing an on the line foul, a marginal offside decision and whether an aggressive foul was adjudged harshly. People are focusing on the easy excuses to make themselves feel better. Fine.

I still don't get the reasoning why the Carroll got the nod over Maxi especially as Maxi seems to be in form and after he said great things about him prior to Fulham game.

Its simple really, the answer is in the numbers = £35 million. Kenny is forced to play him to get him up to speed (or find out if he needs to get rid). As someone on here said this was an 'easy' game for him to finally get going. He didn't. Its not easy to get going when the whole team is looking for goals from somewhere and you're the reason the only goalscorer is on the bench.

I feel sorry for Kenny and Andy in this regard. And Maxi obviously.

[BringbackBiscan]

Although he gets kicked every single game now from pillar to post and never gets a thing off the refs. I don't blame him for being frustrated.

[Lee]

FFS.

We don't need this too.

100%.

Nope. But that would've been under Uefa jurisdiction.

Ashley Cole did this to Arsenal fans....



But i cant find any evidence of punishment, only articles about him waiting to find out if he would be punished...

What gets me with the whole AC thing, is that so far, i don't see us playing to his strengths, not even when we're chasing a game, big man in the area...hit him with crosses, floated balls....balls he can flick on, from all angles, but hit him!

We don't seem to do it enough, one thing that everyone says who's been around him on his rise up the ranks from youth is that he's a superb header of the ball.

Tonight's performance suggests it anyway, but that stat leads me to believe he's a manc fan.
