Yes, FIFA did start calling them assistant referees.

I don't work for FIFA though, (I'd be rich in bribes if I did.) Neither do TV commentators, and linesman is the traditional term and I get a bit fed up with the constant chiselling away at the traditions of what I still call a sport, albeit hanging on by a thread.

Drift, but contd from above ~~

I believe Assistant Referee is now the official name for what used to be called a Linesmn [it is even displayed on their badges IIRC], while the one who operates the board and controls the players' and officials' benches is called the Fourth Official.

I accept that Gnu is making a point that we are all human and my post above is trying to say that too.

But Rooney was right to have been sent off and by the team then dropping to ten men and our most inspirational player not being available for the next game, he has let the team down. As I said, it was a risk playing him and you win some lose some. All this Rooney bashing serves to do nothing but increase the risk of football fans being denied his unquestionable talent. He has the money now to say "Fuck this for a lark." I suppose it is his sense of wanting to play football anyway that prevents that, and the game should be grateful. He is one of the few who will be spoken of to Grandchildren fifty years hence. Oh, and fans of all sides expect a bit of niggle. That's why the game has a referee, two linesmen and an assistant referee. If players didn't wind each other up, we wouldn't need them.

Mind you Gnu, we have enough confusion with linesmen being called assistant referees by telly commentators. Side judges is a new one on me, but not an issue, as I know what you mean. The physically unfit blokes with flags who seemed to be five yards behind play all night and couldn't pick up an offside if it asked them to buy it a drink in a night club.

Remember in a team game, it is not about "ME". Getting sent off in football means the team has one fewer players on the pitch for the remainder of the game.

Is it thuggery to say "Fuck that! I was wronged and I am gonna make the fucker pay and I don't give a shit what happens to me." in retaliation?

The game does not support retaliation or revenge.

IF that it was happened
I don't know if there was any previous provocation but Rooney can be a bit hot headed anyway.

On the other hand, IF Rooney was just being a thug, toss him in the river.... after his jersey is removed for good.

I'm no fan of Rooney but having seen the incident on the Internet, I do think some are getting a bit over excited about this one. It was needless and stupid but I don't think it was worth more then the sending off (which will also lead to a suspension) he got and perhaps a bollocking from his manager.

I didn't see it. I didn't see the game. I can only offer this and this is SHEER conjecture which is absolutely based on NOTHING so read it that way.

IF you did not witness the game live, how do know Rooney wasn't pissed about having uncalled fouls committed on him? Especially if they were behind the play and should have been picked up by the side judges but were not?

Is it thuggery to say "Fuck that! I was wronged and I am gonna make the fucker pay and I don't give a shit what happens to me." in retaliation?

HEY! Before you get on my ass, remember I said I saw nothing and have NO basis for my words BUT... that kinda crap goes on all the time and IF that it was happened, good for Rooney. You might say it was stupid after the fact but the fact is he is the one who took the heat for what he did. Rash? Only if you think Rooney could have helped in the future and should have taken the shit (IF it happened) to help in the future.

On the other hand, IF Rooney was just being a thug, toss him in the river.... after his jersey is removed for good.

Seriously... was it PURE thuggery? I would really like to know if that is the case.

We set up footballers to be role models, ambassadors and the rest of it... In some ways, quite rightly too, especially as they are role models for young impressionable lads.

Wayne Rooney may be everything in this thread and more, who knows? Tell you what though, his behaviour in the face of taunting and media pressure, his father's predicament and the pressure to deliver on the pitch? Must have to be Superman to handle that, not just a lad who can kick a ball, (and what a kick...)

Wayne Rooney is paid to entertain. Football fans realise you cannot perform 90 mins of every game, and like a morning fishing without a bite, it's still fishing... You can argue whether he was in the right frame of mind in his personal life to be able to play a vital England game, but once on the pitch, you have to deal with what you have let loose.

If he didn't have the red mist, he wouldn't be as eager to play and perform. Yes, his foul was ugly, brutal and unnecessary, and the rules say you get sent off, so he was sent off. All p[art of the rules. Anybody who objects to football being a physical game though should stick to synchronised swimming. Referees these days have been influenced too much by rich clubs with expensive "livestock" who can't afford to have them injured, leading to an almost non contact sport. And that's just too boring..... The media want to see foul play, the fans want to see foul play, everybody likes to be outraged.

Its the hypocrisy I object to.

I guess you are right on most counts. Michael Owen has scored as many goals with his head as most men twice his size. However, I think that once Tevez is gone, City may well go for two tall strikers, because we have been scoring so few goals in the air up to now. We should also have Adam Johnson and Kolarov fit to give bit of supply next season. Our current method of approach may well have to change. After another disgraceful outburst from Balotelli last night, which effectively sealed our fate, one wonders how long Mancini will persist with him. When Dzeko finds his feet, the left footed Jo may well get an extended run. I think that once he has got his name on the score sheet a couple of times, his confidence will soar and he could well take off.
United certainly have it all to do. My guess is they will be wanting to put the Championship beyond anyone else's reach before fixture congestion can catch up with them. Every game from now on is a big one for them!

hi alanabit

Not sure why you need to specify another tall striker.

I have been watching Man U for many years and other than Van Nisselrooy I can't remember any tall strikers that were prolific.

IMHO the best we ever had was Dennis Law and he was only about 5'8 or so.

Hernandez keeps hitting the net and he is not called "little pea " for nothing.

As for me; Lionel Messi would be OK for United!!

I see with have another two games with Chelsea as a result of today's draw. Doesn't really matter who you get a this stage - you just have to be able to beat who-ever you get at this stage.

Yes, definitely wishing Bryan Robson well.
Sadly I think you are also right about Carlos Tevez. He has done a great job for us but the truth is, we are not quite yet up to his very high standards. I do not think he will return to South America, as there is hardly any club there which could afford his very expensive services. Real Madrid or a top Italian club look more likely destinations. After the Robinho fiasco, I think City will be wary of just buying any top striker, whom they can afford (which these days probably means any top striker...) Our vain and ugly behaviour there - as in the bids for Kaka and Torres - made us look pretty grotesque. City will have to change the style of play - probably with two taller, but fast forwards hunting together. That could mean a return for Jo if he is still at Eastlands next year. He is left footed and he can play a bit.

Hi Breezy

In today's paper Rooney has given a long interview which states -:

he now has no intention of ever leaving United
He has no problems with Fergie nor vice-versa
He is pleased with the different role Fergie has given him to play - "free"
He is encouraged by the performance of young players coming through the ranks etc etc

Frankly I don't care where Tevez goes but I believe he will be gone in the summer either to Spain or back to Argentina.

Some people saw Fergie as a father figure for Rooney but I guess he messed than one up.

I agree with your comments about Sir Matt Busby and Jimmie Murphy - often forgotten but brilliant scout for United....and a nice man to boot.

While on the United theme may I offer Bryan Robson one of United's best ever players ( and England's) my best wishes as he fights throat cancer. He was always a fighter and I have no doubts that he will fight this horrible disease.

As a person who has experienced throat cancer and made a full recovery I am naturally going to follow this very closely.

My best wishes go out to Bryan and his family and wish Bryan a good recovery.

Rooney to Everton ? back to where he came from ? while Tevez does what?

Rooney would benefit from having a strong father, grand-father figure to guide him or a mentor, or psychologist. but it must be someone who Rooney will respect.

Sir Alex is showing signs of tiredness and is being worn down by Rooney.

Rooney shows scant respect to many people.



Sir Matt Busby will always be held in the highest esteem, a gentleman, and then there was Jimmy Murphy, a gentleman.

No doubt about that, but he is also a bad tempered whinger at times! There is not a manager in British football with a record to touch him and I will probably not live to see another one better. He has already far outstripped the achievements of Sir Matt Busby, which is not to denigrate his fellow Scot. I would not be surprised to see him last a few more years. If he is in good health, there is nothing to stop him.

Hi Alan

I agree entirely with you about luck being a necessary factor in making football ( and other sports) more interesting.

Of course sometimes it appears that the top sides get more luck than the others.

In the post war years Arsenal earned the named of " Lucky Arsenal" because the Gods often appeared to shaine on them.

Recently Man United have had their share of good luck- especially with referee decisions. Arthur will well remember the Vidic penalty claim when Man U played Villa last year -or was it the year before.....they go so quickly these days.

I wasn't suggesting luck when thinking about the possibility of United playing Barcelona. I was thinking about Fergie's abilities to be able to plan and get his team to play to match-winning tactics.

Call Fergie what you want ( and many people do ) but his record shows that he is a manager without parallel and has been for many years.

But I suppose we are lucky in having him !!

The great thing about football - probably the part which makes it the most unpredictable and exciting - is that the better team does not always win. It usually finishes that way, of course, as it ought to. However, we all know that a spectacular clanger, or a moment of brilliance or exceptional luck from one side can result in a draw or even a win for the inferior side. I believe that although this can happen in all sports, it actually does happen more frequently in football.
I recall that last season Man City went to Stamford Bridge and were outclassed (predictably) by Chelsea. However, Chelsea finished the game with nine men and lost 4-2. Chelsea were above on all the games statistics (for instance 17 to six goal attempts) except the one which mattered.
Probably the main reason for bizarre results is that no matter how dominant a team is, they still need a bit of luck to score a goal. Wayne Rooney's goal against City a couple of weeks ago was undoubtedly brilliant, yet the next time he attempts that shot, it will probably land in the stand. That does not make it any less skillful, but you always need luck as well. I do not expect United to beat Barcelona either, but you right Mike, it could happen.

hi breezy

Did you watch Wayne Rooney last night??? Almost back to his heady best !!!

There are several English clubs that would take Rooney like a shot - if the price is right. Certainly David Moyes at Everton would be one.

Fergie is nearly 70 and will be going soon that is obvious. There are many rumblings in the media about who might replace him. Mourino seems to be the current favourite but I fancy either David Moyes or Martin O'Neil. But I know nothing !!! Just conjecture.

I watched them last night and they were like the curates egg. Great in parts and bad in others. I don't see them beating Barcelona on this form but Fergie has pulled out bigger miracles than this in the past.

I don't suppose Gh will get the chance that Fergie got when he first joined Man U. It took Fergie some time to get things right, but they perservered with him and look what he has achieved. Biggest gum chewer in the PL :-)
GH if given the time, will pull Villa round, and will get rid of the overpaid, I don't want to earn my corn, thick as a brick players that we have at the moment.

The young players are arguably some of the best players coming through at this moment in time.

So, as long as they stay up, then I think there will be a big shake up in the summer, with better results next year.

Arthur

Naturally I don't agree with some of your criticisms of Rooney. I admit that like many before him he is not a perfect role model for the young aspiring professional.

But contra to what is written here he IS a match winner. That is what Fergie saw in him as a youngster and only last Saturday he was very instrumental in disposing of Arsenal from their third competition in less than two weeks.

As for Ashley Young, I am not sure that he is good enough to get in United's side. OK he might be a natural replacement for Giggs but he would struggle to get in against Valencia and Nani. But Fergie is a man that wants a very strong squad and Young could qualify as that.

With regard to the (im)possibility of Rooney going to Villa, let's just say that if he could afford him Houlier would jump at the chance !!!

Villa have some good young players beginning to emerge and I am sure that they will continue to improve after the seismic shock of Martin O'Neil's departure. These things do to time. Let's hope that Villa understand this and don't leap for the dismissal bell like several other Premier League teams have.

I saw most of the last Manchester derby too and think that City played reasonably well, although we never got close to scoring - apart from a complete fluke, which you could not have made up. What frightened me was the fact that I felt United won comfortably without even playing well. (In its way Nani's opener was also a brilliant piece of finishing). The game which really showed up the difference though was the second League Cup game last year. United did virtually nothing (deliberately) until the last few minutes of the tie. The footballing lesson they gave us after that will haunt Manccini's dreams for years. All our ball supply to both wings was simply cut off and we were embarrassingly outclassed. It is football, of course, and anything can happen, although another horrible statistic (from our point of view) is that City have not won a cup tie of any sort against Man U since 1970! United will be looking forward to it more than us, for all of the bravado, which will inevitably be on display! United are able to win without playing well, whereas City will have to play above themselves to even compete. Maybe we can get lucky like we did at Stamford Bridge last year, when Chelsea outclassed us yet we still ran off with the points!

hi alan

I saw the last United v City game and I don't think United beat them easily. It took a "wondergoal" from out of sorts Rooney to turn the game.

I do agree though that this year's United is probably the least exciting one we have had for almost as long as I can remember. It has taken some brilliant tactical decisions by Ferguson and some inspired selection decisions to keep United on top. They are hard to beat though; especially at Old Trafford and this and the fact that the Premier League is probably the most evenly contested one right down the places which has meant that some unlikely results have happened to all the top teams.

Tired legs might come into it and ironically Arsenal could benefit by being knocked out of the FA Cup last Saturday by United. Arsenal now can concentrate all their efforts on the League and don't have the extra Cup & European games to play.

It looks like a double for United this year. They have beaten City easily every time they have played them over the past couple of years. I can not see either Stoke or Bolton defeating United at Wembely without a bizarre stroke of luck. The only fly in the ointment could be tired legs. Unlikely as it is that City will win, they are now as good as out of Europe, whereas United look likely to progress at least another round. Possibly United will have secured the league title by then, so Ferguson will be able to rest tired players and put out reserve teams in league games by mid-April. By their standards, this is not a particularly inspiring United side, but they look a cut above anything else around in the Premier League at the moment.
