Football League Comedy Show (Lesta Free 2014/15 Edition)

The referee saw the Pudil tackle and awarded a freekick, there can be no retrospective action against him.

 

Exactly. All the talk of Probert covering up and changing his mind about what the red card was for is negated by the fact he would have told Angella and anyone else who asked exactly what it was for. He can't change that now.

 

Don't kid yourself, if it's word against word the ref wins every time.
But at least he can't claim he didn't see Pudil's tackle.

 

He'll have been heard by both assistants, the fourth official, half the Bournemouth team and any of ours in close attendance too.

 

On the other hand he might have said nothing or even 'dangerous play'.
I doubt it though because we seem to be appealing the last man bit and Gomes would got to the ball first too.

 

The fourth official also keeps a record of all yellows and reds including the offence

 

But the ref's version will be the one that counts ... The 4th official only has to say he thought it was for denying an opportunity, not that it a 100% was. And anyway, I imagine they always sit down and correct such discrepancies before writing their report.

 

Wot? Like the Coppers?

 

Ello, ello, ello! where were you on the night in question? ... "I thought I was at home but PC Bignose informs me I was at the victims address so I must have been there instead"

 

Exactly. As we all know PC Bignose knows best. Apart that is for Prince Big Ears who apparently knows best about a whole load of things despite being an inbred, mollycoddled t.at ...

 

I've reached the point where I just can't look at Manish anymore. I can't listen to his cringeworthy questions or his wooden presenting and I'm just sick of his face if I'm honest. It's been wild Football League Show but the only time I'll be tuning in again is if we beat Bournemouth in the playoff final and I get to see Claridge with a face like a slapped arse after giving one of his former sides a beating at Wembley.

 

It's Manish's tight trousers I don't like.

 

Well, stop wearing them then! Socialism has its limits.

 

Whoa, I've got the complete opposite view. Manish's presentation skills are the main reason I tune in.

Even if the football is awful, I can always sit and wait to hear one of Manish's witty one-liners, or his "Gha Gha Gha" laugh.

It's hard to decide which provides more entertainment, the Manish-Claridge exchanges or Morecambe FC's pub football defending(complete with player falling over into the side netting).

 

They usually show the goals from the Championship on Sky News early evening ... so if lucky enough to have access at the pub or wherever, I don't have to watch it

 

Anyone know if Late Kickoff is going to run this season. It's normally up and running by now?

 

But our player committed the crime.

There's no way that we should be rewarded for doing so!

 

Self explanatory I reckon.

 

I've been told Bolton v Watford is the feature game today......

 

Correct that's why there was decent coverage earlier

 

I actually think Lennon's ok. I thought it showed a little bit of class and respect in the interview that, instead of the usual "their striker/their boy/the lad" etc, he named Troy by first name as the scorer of the winner...

"...we never laid a glove on Watford before Troy gets a shot of".

 

They used to get even tighter when Leicster were on the show

 

Steve Claridge takes the FLS to new heights of absurdity by describing Kennelworth Road as "a brilliant stadium".

 

Glad someone else heard that. I thought I'd imagined it.

 

I notice Proberk had an obvious chat with his lineman, ear on the earpiece for extra effect, before sending off Blackpool's Aldred for being the last man.

 

Yon mean just checking his Watford connections

 

Claridge and his Manish still managed to make our victory seem like it was undeserved, it seems to sticks in their craws to praise WFC in any way :boo:

 

That's why they show our badge on the opening titles sort of half rubbed out.

Manish personally insisted on it as a sign of his bitter hatred of us ever since that Deeney moment.

 

It must have been dodgy. Even Claridge was on our side - "The referee was probably the only one in the ground that thought that was a penalty".

 

That kno-bend is on our side. It would seem there's a first time for everything

 

Why does Claridge have no eyebrows?

Or is it that they've retreated back inside the dark skeletal holes where his eyes are?

 

Yes, he did, and then they moved on to something else as if the dive was insignificant. Half the world seem to laugh off this cheating culture.
