Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Check out the referee in the PSG vs Nantes game. He cuts off a Nantes player and ends up on the floor, he then takes a swipe at the Nantes player before getting up, sending him off and awarding PSG a free kick. One of the worst refereeing breakdowns and absolute failures I've ever seen. Expecting a huge ban for the referee and naturally the Nantes card overturned.

Iirc you can't appeal cards in any country other than Britain and I don't think FIFA are happy about that either

Cyrille Regis has died aged 59 :(

Thanks, TIL. It was absolutely bizarre. Here's a legitimate link and video

Cyrille Regis RIP. Before my time as a footballer but a pretty big part and reference when I did education into racism in domestic football alongside hooliganism. Particularly the NF coach incident.

RIP Cyrille as he will always be remembered as a legendary Boing Boing Baggie.

Diego Carlos Red card overturned and Referee suspended after Nantes - PSG train wreck refereeing moment.

Not sure if TD's comments above still stand as I don't believe the card was actually appealed, just overturned by the governing body without appeal.

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

I think I heard it a while back on either world football phone in or trans euro express, pretty sure it was Andy brassel that said we had a unique appeals process in European football, I did a quick Google and it only seems to bring up English matches so read into that what you want!! It did bring up a champions league game where psg couldn't appeal Zlatans red, they'd only accept mistaken identity as grounds for appeal

I understand what Mark Hughes meant when he said no one else would do his job, no wonder so many turned it down.

A brief flourish in first 15 minutes then nothing from Stoke at OT tonight. Could and should have been five or six.

A side full of players well past their sell by date, Peter Crouch, Joe Allen, Stephen Ireland, Darren Fletcher plus a few who will never amount to much, possibly the worst side I have seen at OT this season.

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

When Paul Lambert will be the right appointment we shall see Jim.

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

If he keeps them up without massive investment it will be a miracle.:(

Re: Season 2017/2018
 

Yes most definitely.
