Mike Wiley Makes History

[Actin The Sham]

11 Bookings in the Roma V Lyon Match last night. The referee is a legend! I wonder did he book any of them three times though! Most bookings ever in a UEFA match.

Roma Players Booked:

Mexes 3
Panucci 7
Pizarro 18
Mancini 43
Taddei 57
Totti 82
Tonetto 89
De Rossi 90


Olympique Lyon Players:

Juninho 12
Govou 45
Toulalan 50


A nil nil draw and eleven bookings? Is there a punishment for having 8 players booked in the one game? I know the situation in the premiership, but what about UEFA?

Fitzy.

Its Mike Riley & Alan Whiley

Hands up, sorry, freudian slip.

(Thanks for pointing that out)


But what about the number of bookings though? In all fairness we had Poll in the WC last year and now this?

[RonnyB]

Was this the same fella who referred to Vidic as 'Nimic'?

At least he's consistant.

[Lamps]

Fitzy.

you bollox, too quick out of the blocks altogether

[FL4ZGN]

Hands up, sorry, freudian slip.

(Thanks for pointing that out)


But what about the number of bookings though? In all fairness we had Poll in the WC last year and now this?

His average is 4 yellow per game in the premiership.

In 16 games this season he has dished out 6 reds (the most for any referee) and 58 yellow.

[Actin The Sham]

Yes, hands up on that one too, I was thinking "Nemanja Vidic," and typed "Nimic." The day the wizzard signed him, if I recall correctly. I remember thinking, "build from the back, and the front will take care of itself." Looking at Nimic and Evra now, they were definitely two of the buys of the season last year.

He'll always be Nimic to me.

:)

NB, he should be a future captain, he handled himself magnificently when the Lille players threatened to walk off the other night, he was the only one who was anxious to get on with the game, he showed Gary Neville up.

You must have taken a short cut through the back douglas road!

And so it comes full circle.

One question Nimic, how is it a freudian slip?

Out of the current squad he's the best candidate for next captain. Dont think Rooney has the ability to shut his gob at referees which is no good.

agreed on the quality of signings as well. Those 2 guys look decent value now at just over £12m. A sign that Fergie seems to be looking harder through the transfer market.

Its is well known in the soccer circles I run in that Vidic and Ronaldo were poached/scouted Kenyon style from Liverpool. Sometimes it works, as in their case, sometime as in the case of Silvertstre not so well.

Evra was hardly unknown either.

Only Wenger can truly be classed as a man that can spot a player

back to topic.

NIMIC have you thought of some spin to put on this yet?

[STEVIEG]

Who he never gets off teams like Barcalona or the like................ .

The views of the Night Owls league for the overweight are hardly relevant in this forum of footballing experts now are they?

And who is this "Silvertstre" you speak of?

I don't know anything about Silvestretteeste but it is known that teams like Liverpool and Arsenal were linked to Ronaldo alright and Liverpool were looking at the Turkey too

Multiple clubs in looking at potentially good player shocker

Agreed. And Rio will never have the full respect of the fans and anyway has a lot of other interests.
I have been very impressed with Nimic ;) since he's joined. He appears to be a solid, hardworking, honest pro who keeps his head down and gets on with things.

BUMP

NIMIC????

[Lamps]

I'm off now for an hour.

I hope to have a full, frank and possibly non-gay explanation when i return.

Can Stevie or TBT keep Nimic on the rack. Ta

[Actin The Sham]

I'm off now

Never liked him.....

Evra was on UEFA's team of the year in '04 I believe so he was well known but £5m for a 24 year old was good business.

[STEVIEG]

And he has played in a Champions League final too

Very good business, the guy has a superb attitude and never stops running

Imagine trying to buy an English equivalent?


20 million there boss

[Actin The Sham]

Not good enough lad.

OK, tell me what would suffice for you, and I will gladly oblige. Just type up what you want me to say, and I'll quote it verbatim for you.

OK?

Whatever makes you happy. I'd do it for you, but not the other fella.

Disgusting.

Coming onto TBT like this, Mike Riley "freudian slips", fancying the trousers off JRM. Keep this shit for the morons forum, metrosexual knobs and tossbags go down well there. The Sports forum is no place for such a carry on

But of course it is, you love it. You're sitting there with a used condom up your arse, a smile on your face, and a hankering for more.

You love it, go on, admit it.

I'll be facetous and say Stephen Warnock but there is a gulf between the two players in terms of quality on the ball.

Mike Wiley - I actually that it was the written manifestation of a jonathan ross-esque speech impediment initially!

Comparing Warnock to Evra? thats just plain stupid.

Yup

My last comment was tongue in cheek & my understanding of the word was poor to say the least.

I've seen Warnock a few times, 10 would be a lot I'd say. If he was in Evra's league would Liverpool have sold him? Also is he always injured or is it just my imagination?

first of all evra has a had a very good season. i wouldn't go blowing my load, claiming he was world class or anything. he had a dodgy start to his spell at utd, and, a few gaffs aside, has played very well.

i was disappointed when benitez sold him. he is a player of amazing commitment, perhaps to his detriment, as he has been plagued by injuries included an almost career ending leg break. he isn't as good on the ball as he should be (as evra is), and his positioning is a little suspect. but, imo he could have really improved if he was given a good run in the team. but unfortunately it wasn't to be for him. maybe benitez feels he's not in the position to be able to 'experiment' with him to see whether he becomes the player he could have, or maybe benitez felt he wasn't quite the quality liverpool need. if that's the case, then yes evra would be considered the better player (as i alluded to above).

but, to claim comparing the two as "just plain stupid" as you said, is off the mark.

This Evra had a dodgy start thing is overhyped by a Man City performance where they bombed goal kicks down on top of him in his 1st game. The guy is small so isn't gonna be a force in aerial challenges against someone like Sinclair & added with Silvestre's awful display that day people questioned Fergie's judgement on him again.

Yes he's had a fine season this year but it isn't a one off. He was on Uefa's team of the year in '04 & I saw enough of him during Monaco's run to the final to be impressed. Going back to this term I'd have him ahead of Vidic with regards to individual awards or the like. Everyone is going on about Vidic this Vidic that but for me I've been more impressed by Evra.

I still think to compare Warnock to him is stupid. You say he isn't as good on the ball as Evra, yet for me the reason Cashley has stood out so much is his ability on the ball & his play going forward. Its the difference between being average and good IMO. If Warnock had the ability to be anywhere near as good as Evra, Liverpool wouldnt have sold him. Time will tell how good both will become but Warnock has'nt had a sniff of a chance with the England squad yet even when Cashley's had injuries so I think for now he's a long way off Evra.

Well said

I've seen Warnock about 25 times and he is pretty good, but not in Evra's league-he did play well on saturday for Blackburn though and he has by and large looked more confident since he joined them

Its grand looking confident with Blackburn but they are'nt Liverpool. Prime example for us United fans is Richardson. He was excellent at West Brom & played a big part in keeping them up, but since he's back at United he's being awful barring one or two cup games in almost 2 years. To use a cliché at the end of the day he's not good enough to play for a top side. The same goes for Warnock. If he was Benitez wouldnt have sold him and played the likes of Aurelio at LB instead.

One thing I will say for Warnock his attitude seems spot on unlike the horrible individual I've compared him to.

He bottled it big time today on a few occasions though he was good overall

After being lambasted by Jose at half time he quickly books to Spurs players and after Jose came on the pitch to complain midway through the half he ignored a blatant foul on Lee right in front of him
