Zatman Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 QPR players and management laughing as they came off the pitch. Disgraceful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I see that Javier Zanetti has ruptured his achilles tendon today. That's probably it for him, isn't it? He is actually older than Ryan Giggs, he has 145 caps for Argentina and 843 appearances for Internazionale. What a player. http://www.thefootballramble.com/thedwhof/entrant/javier-zanetti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 He will be back, that guy has been written off so many times, but if he does retire he is an absolute legend of the game(this time the title is deserved). HIs omission from 06 and 2010 World Cup was absolute madness from Argentina. his goal vs England if i remember was actually a well worked and clever free kick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brommy Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 QPR players and management laughing as they came off the pitch. Disgraceful We all know many players don't give a fig beyond their contract, but they must be dumb not to realise how strongly fans feel about relegation. I'm not advocating crocodile tears but how hard can it be to keep a neutral face for as long as it takes to exit the pitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 zanetti is meant to be looking at 8-9 months out, also saw in the news article that its the 1st major injury of his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 And if you are going to get one of those, I suppose with three games of the season to go when you are aged 39 (in fact, almost 40) is probably a good time to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Bloody hell, I just saw Sturridge's first goal for Liverpool. I think Coutinho split the atom with that pass for the assist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 29, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 29, 2013 Didn't watch the QPR game but amazed that it ended goaless. 2 teams with feck all to lose should have been attacking chaos at both ends clinging to the slim chance they might do the impossible. Should never have been 0-0 in a million years. How did it happen? Michael Cox on Football Weekly had a brilliant idea last week. Said for those games where a draw is no good for either team, they should have a mutual agreement not to play goalkeepers for the last 10 minutes if it's still level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coutinho is class, better than Suarez for me and not a cannibal either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) Bloody hell, I just saw Sturridge's first goal for Liverpool. I think Coutinho split the atom with that pass for the assist. And to think, for about 5 minutes in January, there was the slightest sliver of hope that he was actually coming to us Edited April 29, 2013 by Ghost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said for those games where a draw is no good for either team, they should have a mutual agreement not to play goalkeepers for the last 10 minutes if it's still level.I've always wondered why no football manager, to my knowledge, has tried unilaterally pulling the keeper late in a game where it doesn't matter how much they lose by. It's a reasonably common tactic in ice hockey for a team down a goal to make it 6 skaters on 5 to try and force overtime.I suppose that there's more marginal benefit to going from 5->6 than from 10->11, and also ice hockey goals being smaller means that as long as you can track back and keep an attacker from getting too close to the goal, there's not as much risk of the margin going to two goals; ice hockey's free substitution also makes it more practical, but I don't see why that would imply that you never do it. I'm guessing it's fear of being pilloried when it doesn't work. Edited April 29, 2013 by leviramsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 am sure its probably a law you have to play with a goalkeeper plus with the target much bigger it be kamikaze to pull the keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine pretty much any team in the top few divisions has a player or two capable of putting the ball into an unguarded net from 50 yards.

Stevo985 Posted April 30, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 30, 2013 Zatman's right. You HAVE to play a goalkeeper. Of course that doesn't stop your goalkeeper going all Rene Higuita and just effectively playing outfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
