Well that wasn't even worthy of a sex thread post. Sorry to let all my fans down. I just got kissed a few times.

That's one man-card for not sealing the deal, and another for getting our hopes up. Hand 'em over, son.


And by talking about man cards you just proved you are a subservient bitch who feels the need to conform to what society views as 'male' behavior. Congrats on not being able to think for yourself.


Lol. Burrrn. XD

you really do make a compelling case for why I often wonder why anyone would want to be a ref.
I make a mistake at work I generally blow something up, sometimes its expensive shit. But I don't get death threats and only my boss calls me stupid or a piece of shit.
never been called a peasant

ETA: I know you're not a Brit Gothos, I was suggesting you become one of the horrid middle england fuckwits who blame mistakes anyone who doesn't speak english on them being a bloody stupid foreigner rather than just accepting that people make mistakes.


I haven't seen the decision yet but I have no desire to see a game where we stop for video reffing every turn around. Because make no mistake, if something like that were to come in, refs would have to use it all the time to stop them getting abuse from the whining primadonas that play the game these days.

ETA - talking to a more level headed fan there, says in honesty the ref was out of his depth for this game, but still I do not EVER want to see video reffing in football. Goalline tech I can accept as it will be (if it works how I tihnk it will) quick and painless.

The card that was called for, imho, was orange. Since that doesn't exist it can go two ways and the referee (who has a history of being quick with cards) chose red. As BrynnSatan shows in his post, that was a plausible explanation of the rules.

I think Nani had time and space to take an extra step and take it on the bounce, a much easier, less showy way of controlling the ball. Even if Arbeloa had got to it first, his pace was such that he'd have walked/kicked it over the sidelines, I'd say.

I am not against video referee-ing. Having seen it work in rugby on tries and in American Football on plays (as well as in tennis), it is very easy: X challenges per half, and only a referee's call on the field can be challenged. If your challenge is correct, you won't lose it. It won't be disruptive in any way and it would end this awful discussion about the referee that plagues modern day football. If the coach sees it better than the ref, the game becomes more honest. If the ref sees is better, his credibility is reinforced. And referee credibility is what is at stake for years now.

Face it, you let a talented hobbyist referee two teams filled with pro's on millions per year contracts. Until the referees become full time professionals with educational back-up, schooling and clout, they will never be on par and will remain easy scapegoats. Such a program is easily affordable for FIFA/ UEFA and would set standards equal.

In the current system, if something happens on the field that ought to be penalized is missed by the referee and assistants, there is already the disciplinary board that can make the call and ban a player for several games. Retroactive penalties thus do already exist. I guess the one downside to this means that referees should show advantage way more than they do, to show whether or not they miss something.

Regarding the game: Mourinho (by bringing on Modric) changed it in ways United couldn't answer. United's initial game plan was excellent albeit very defensive, and while Khedira got a surprising amount of space, he did very little with it. Rafael was imho the best man on the pitch, followed closely by Giggs, Cleverly and Carrick.

It all came apart with the red card. Yes, it had to do with being a man down, but Modric consistently found space between the lines and I think pulling Wellbeck or Van Persie off and bringing Rooney (who can sit deeper and can shadow Alonso/Modric better than either of the other two) was called for. Ferguson didn't and United paid for it.

I was actually the one to invent man cards, and the rules regarding man cards were coined by the then newly founded Man Card Board of Directors (also known as the MCBD, irrevocably disbanded since 1997; see Rise and Fall of the MCBD by Dnuora Gnissem m'I for more information). That society has taken a liking to what began as a simple way of measuring the manlyness of a select few very macho men can be contributed to chance, and more importantly, an internal leak in the organization, without which the knowledge of man cards would have stayed within controlled boundaries. If thy haseth taken offense from the notion of the man card, I can only say that they were never meant for public use, as uncontrolled exposure may cause the demise of one's sense of humor and a general loss of faith in mankind. However, since it's all out in the open now, I just figured I'd do as much damage as possible, just because I can.

Today is my little girl's 7th birthday. Little superstar changed my life and I love her more and more every day.
Theorizing that one could poop within his own lifetime, Doctor Poopet led an elite group of scientists into the desert to develop a top secret project, known as QUANTUM POOP. Pressured to prove his theories or lose funding, Doctor Poopet, prematurely stepped into the Poop Accelerator and vanished. He awoke to find himself in the past, suffering from partial amnesia and facing a mirror image that was not his own. Fortunately, contact with his own bowels was made through brainwave transmissions, with Al the Poop Observer, who appeared in the form of a hologram that only Doctor Poopet could see and hear. Trapped in the past, Doctor Poopet finds himself pooping from life to life, pooping things right, that once went wrong and hoping each time, that his next poop will be the poop home.

Claw and Order. These are the real life stories of the members of the Claw, hunting down those that threaten our empire.

Claw and Order: SVU. When a Toblakai says 'may you slay 100 children', the Claw step in to save our children from the assault of these giant warriors.

and last but not least: Baudins' Eleven. The talons return for a last daring heist, stealing the empresses' clockwork foot massager to sell it to Gothos, the orc-like with the foot fetish.

A crazy lady at work has taken to going into the ladies toilet whenever she gets a personal call (she of SS fame and who goes to Alcoholics Anonymous despite not drinking or knowing anyone who drinks but because she is "interested"). I absolutely hate her, she annoys me to the point of wanting to commit bloody murder and I find myself wistfully thinking that next time she takes a call, I am ensconced in a cubicle after eating something prone to inducing large amounts of gas. It's a strange thing to wish for and proof that my dislike of her is overtaking all rational thought.

However, to be on subject, it's lentil curry for tea tonight. Fingers crossed for tomorrow everyone!
