I just saw the Olic goal now. lol. Typical, runs out of nowhere and nails one.

They really have to lose that rule where you get carded for taking off your jersey though. It's the dumbest rule ever and it serves no purpose.

I never got why that was an offense? Whats the purpose of giving a yellow for that?

 

[Bobby Sands]

i think it was because Muslims find it offensive or some bullshit like that.

Indecent Exposure?

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

I thought it was because it makes the crowd lose control :wondering:

 

[Flipmo]

lmfao @ Muslims find it offensive.

So a shirtless man makes the crowd go insane - Wtf, they aren't girls at a Ricky Martin concert. It's grown men that eat bottles of Heineken.

 

[Bobby Sands]

its because no one wants to see a Croatian man with his shirt off.

Just because we have perky nipples, it's not a reason to hate.

Chill out, lmao. He was just fucking around.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

I literally LOL'd at it though. I know Bobby wasn't being serious the randomness of it made me chuckle like a hyena.

Many theories behind it. The one I stuck with was the sponsors. When a goal is scored, that's the moment for the main sponsor logo on the shirt to be seeing for the longest possible time. Take the shirt off and there goes free the advertising time. FIFA reached an agreement with sponsors.

Rooney out for between 2-4 weeks.

there was me thinking his career was over

 

[DJ Manny]

Great news that Rooney is out

 

[2Pax]

Rooney out for between 2-4 weeks.

That's the alleged time thats floating about on the news websites, some bored journo probably plucked it out of another even more bored journo's arse.

He goes for a scan tomorrow, could be less than two weeks, could be more than four weeks which I doubt.

Imagine it was all one of Fergie's mind games and he is fit to play Saturday. :nuts:

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Imagine if he died

 

[Bobby Sands]

who Rooney?

great mind games by Ferguson yesterday to put Berbatov on in midfield with the score at 1-0. Very strange switch imo.

Aquilani is out for tomorrow after injuring his ankle.
