Football Banter

and Jason Roberts on 606, defended players wages (with Walcoot on 90K a week)? Even if there was a salary cap on players wages in football, I doubt if it would make any difference to ticket prices, they'd still go up. I do feel a salary cap may be the only way to get fans back into stadiums. If this goes on much longer, where players' wages demands outstrip what clubs can afford to pay, then I can see a point where some clubs will soon have less than half full stadiums of their own supporters at matches. Sometimes I think Sky's money has done great things for the game, but there times when I think it has also brought out the worst in the game too.

I still think Rodriguez' penalty was undeserving. He may say he didn't dive, but how Mark Halsey missed seeing that there was no contact is beyond me.
I thnk the only way way to put an end to things like that, is that players who commit the offence. should be made immediately ineligible for the next game rather than them being sent off, in other words it carries a automatic one game suspension, or the PFA shouild made to adjudicate and punish those offences so that in way the players police themselves. I know that the result can't be changed, but I do hope Halsey did watch Match of the Day and realise what a monumental blunder he made this time. He needs to ref at league 2 level (or even grass roots level) for a month!! And I hope Rrodriguez gets hit with a club fine for his con trick and dropped to reserve games. That would make him think twice about doing it again. Other than soccer should think about introducing a hockey style sin bin into the game, like if it occured the first 10 mins of the game he is sin binned for 5 mins and if halfway through then he misses the rest of the first half. If the offence is commited more than once by a player then they should be issued with a yellow card and the manager is told that he has to substitute him.
The sin bin works in ice hockey and both rugby league (do they do it in rugby union?) and if soccer did it, I think it would be one way to cut it out.

since when is it the job of the linesman to critique the entry cost into any ground? he needs to shut the fuck up and worry about doing his job right, instead of waiting till the cameras are on him to try and get his 15 minutes of fame on the telly.

62 quid! it's a tad expensive! lol

Needed Marseille to win last night for over £300 on a £1 accy (They lost 3-1). I'm blaming Joey Barton

dunno wot the odds were on draw or uva team to win pheonix but its a shame u neva put bets on the uva 2 results to cover it even if it meant u getting a bit of profit! unless u had uva games goin on at the same time then fair enough! but if all ur uva games had finished i prob wud hav betted on uva 2 outcomes but suppose in end it was only a quid u lost!

From the position Halsey was in it looked like a definite penalty, so his decision is understandable.
