Subject: RE: BS: Arsenal were robbed (UK sports team)
It's not the protestations of Mr. Whinger that wind me up, IMHO he has every right as manager to 'discuss' this kind of issue with the 4th official, but it's the lemon-sucking that goes on for the rest of the game - what a miserable sourpuss that guy is!
But the entire blame lies at the joint doors of Campbell and the keeper - Campbell for not dealing with the ball properly in the first place, the keeper for picking the ball up, and Campbell again (and possibly other Arsenal players in the immediate vicinity) for not concentrating on what was going on and, instead, concentrating on berating the ref, shouting and effing and blinding at him as seems to be de rigeur nowadays. If they'd watched what the ref did, and stood on the ball, the kick wouldn't have been possible and everything else would be irrelevant. They're paid huge fortunes and they're supposed to be Professionals. They behaved like amateur junior kids-leaguers and paid the price. End of.
