Robert911 0 Posted October 28, 2013 On Monday Night Club they have interviewed a guy from Holland who has disproved Fer''s statement that he would have done the same thing back in Holland and got away with hit. He thinks Fer was just trying to find a way out of what he did..... Mildly amusing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert911 0 Posted October 28, 2013 And they also reckon that there is a replay that shows the Ref blowing the whistle before Fer puts it in the net Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricardo 7,385 Posted October 28, 2013 If he had wanted to get out of it he could have easily told the MOTD reporter that he didn''t mean to do it, but he didn''t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The ghost of Michael Theoklitos 0 Posted October 28, 2013 He doesn''t appear to be the sharpest tool in the shed in regards to what he says (or doesn''t say) in interviews. It''s just like the one earlier in the season (can''t remember which game) where he pretty much admitted that he dived.I''m not quite sure if I find it refreshing, or stupid. Either way, he needs to learn how to be a little less liberal with the truth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sussexyellow 55 Posted October 28, 2013 Quite right Ricardo - a case of engage brain before mouth. But we have probaby all fallen foul of that one at some time or other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,531 Posted October 28, 2013 Well I reckon Fer has got away lightly with some on here. Imagine if it had been Snodgrass or Elmander[:O] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wcorkcanary 4,334 Posted October 28, 2013 Yep, spoke to dutch mate, who played in holland semi pro and can confirm that it would have been expected in holland to give the ball back to the team that played it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scrivvy 16 Posted October 29, 2013 It''s probably already been discussed, but I can''t be bothered to look.The whole putting the ball out and giving it back thing''s a nonsense anyway. And when people applaud the giving it back, like it''s the greatest sporting gesture ever, it''s even more annoying. In this case, it was Marshall throwing it out because Tettey was injured, but I bet he wouldn''t have done it had Cardiff been 1-0 down at the time. Change the rules so that physios are allowed on the pitch to treat an injury when the game is in progress. Then, it should only be the ref who decides to stop the game if decided that the injury is really bad and/or causing too much interference. So yeah, like rugby.

AJ 1,218 Posted October 29, 2013 Not sure he lied, he said he''d do it again if it meant we won the game!Good point from Owen on MOTD though, why should we have to throw the ball back - wasn''t it our player that got injured and therefor we lost the advantage?
