It's not even corrupt, it's just massively, massively incompetent, blinkered and illogical. FA seemingly run by lawyers rather than football men.
On the plus side, Ivanovic will be suspended for the Chelsea match - even the FA can't ignore a full-on kidney punch off the ball ... can they???
In the Super 15 Rugby the referee has a third card option - a white card which means he reckons that something has gone on which he didn't get a full view of, so it will be looked at after the match and decisions made in light of the available evidence. No loss of referees face, there is a greater chance of justice being served and the fans and media are aware of what's going on. Obviously it doesn't help with pens and offsides and the like but the two scourges of the game thug fouls and diving would soon be deminished. The alternative would be to ensure that all referees aspired to this level of competence.http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/b...-klein-referee
Rugby is light years ahead of officiating than football.
Pathetic really.
Haven't posted in here yet but as i said in another thread, the performance against Citeh was the best i have seen Arsenal play since the invincibles era.
And considering the opposition i think that is praise enough, people will talk about van Persie for player of the year and rightly so but anyone undervaluing the contributions and importance of Arteta and Koscielny this season needs raping to death(tm) at best.
Magnificent and i hope we wallop Wolves tonight as well.
Great post Hump. That Abraham Klein article is a beast, but sounds like a fascinating character.

It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
You really think that??
Better than Barca at home??
Better than the 1-0 win at home to Manure which Andy Gray described as the best game of football he'd ever seen??
I think it was more a case of Citeh not being great than us being great. We did well for sure, credit to the club, but it wasn't a great performance by a long way. I think we've seen better performances this season (IMO of course).
yes
yes Andy Gray is a ****
good
Very true, Refs have been bad and had no balls for a long time now, only way they will change is is the fa grow some and give the ref what he deserves.
Too many get away with these things, when they should be made to ref in lower leagues etc.
TBH with
You can only beat what is in front od you tbh, people expected City to beat us and beat us well the fact we were much better them them should not be brushed under the carpet, because they did not play well.
had it been the other way around we be hearing how good City were etc.
But i agree we have seen better wins andthe spuds home win has to be the best of the season for me.
