Curb Your Enthusiasm - Villa Away

[Bruce Rioja]

This is the BN report. Sad news indeed.

Very sad news indeed. Although by the time the news had filtered round to us we were hearing that a seven year old boy had died.

[Bruce Rioja]

Thanks for that, it's appreciated. Please don't adopt a Wenger view of the game though. Your lads can, and did, dish it out and we had two penalty appeals dismissed that would certainly have been given against us.

At the time, Tango, neither of them looked like penalties to me and I reckon that Dean would've booked Lee had he appealed. Of course, TV replays show otherwise. That said, if he saw fit to give the free-kick against Muamba then I don't see how he could've simply ignored both claims.

I'm not sure where Villafan gets the "physical" claims from though with the exception of Knight. Carew had only been on the field for two minutes when he made an absolute mug of Knight, turning him all ends up in the centre circle, to which Knight responded by literally tearing Carew's shirt in half.

[KeeeeeeeBaaaaaaab]

Although I've not seen enough to give as balanced a view as 99% of you all, it seems to me that Knight has Dawsonitis. The afflicted suffer from the uncontrollable urge to go to ground at the merest hint of winning the ball, trying to get the last ditch tackle in before taking the sensible option - because he's either out of position, or diving in so the interception looks better. It's something I've only noticed this season, because what I saw of his positioning last season was good.

It's not even like he's under pressure to be doing them, unless he's way out of position of course.

Is that the result of not seeing more than about 180 minutes of our season? Or is that indicative of his season as a whole?

I'm getting really concerned at refereeing in general right now. Dean's never been a Bolton "friend", probably close behind Riley in giving us nowt, but how do the linesmen miss these things? A challenge on Kevin Nolan yesterday, for instance, was only just short of GBH and well inside the box but was waved away without the ref even looking at it. Absolutely blatant. Maybe they should start fining or suspending referees for their errors to wake them up. Reffing standards right now are worse than they've ever been.

Aye, I'm in agreement there Tango. It's gotten to the stage now, where I don't concern myself with who's reffing us, because they're all as shit as eachother

I actually don't mind Dean, going back as far as he did us a night game v Spurs

Possibly the Kanoute red card one

He did the two penalties at Ewood but I don't live in fear of getting him

It's bad though when you can recall a specific game, in which we've had a decent ref.

[Bruce Rioja]

Match wasn't on TV here, but good result, that.

Here you go.

It doesn't contain all of the key moments but then coverage by the beeb rarely does.

Wasn't that Riley? Allardyce made a cock of himself afterwards on the tele by saying that the ref had caused a riot when it had kicked off because a load of our lot had gone in the Riverside for cheap. Wasn't that it?

I thought it kicked off when the spacks unfurled a big feck off BWFC banner

[CAPSLOCK]

The 'spacks' was Saturday night, Nakata red card, Vaz Te slippage, followed by some Allardyce bullshit

The penalties were Sunday afternoon

Ah.. I was leathered at both. Couldn't remember which was which

I've got all of that happening in the same game.

The 4-3 win yeah?

And the last minute miss by Blake when Thompson was sent off before Frank Worthington scored the winner

I would assume you have some working knowledge of Korean? You might want to consider investing in a Web Hard such as www.usadisk.com. All the Bolton matches (as well as other various EPL/European leagues/K-League matches) are uploaded and the download speeds for me are regularly around 6-800 kb/s. I would actually suggest this site to anyone on here who wanted to download high quality Bolton matches, but you need to be able to read some Korean at least. Oh, and the commentary is Korean.

[Horza]

What do the Korean commentators think about the refereeing?

Thanks! I can read hangul but my vocabulary is limited. I'll give it a go.

This is the BN report. Sad news indeed.

Condolences to his family. After being described as a lifelong fan, and travelling to away matches at his age, I bet if he could choose a way to go into the wide blue yonder, there ain't many better choices..............................
