The Mail Bag

EFC standards?

OK we are all fed up.

A thought to consider about our club: Have we adopted a moral stance?

Penalties: we hardly complain about penalty claims. The top 4 are obviously trained to do so. I imagine DM would say that is not the way to win a game. Yet others win and climb the table because they are clearly trained to influence refs.

Transfers: we may miss out on a good player due to agent fees. Another stance?

After-game comment: mostly we do not use the media to change views. The rest try this at every opportunity and it clearly works. The one time we tried (aka AJ pens.... .it did nowt)

So ......what do we want? A pack of cheating players and staff but up there with the cheating best or a club with some standards?

Personally the latter for me but I am close to supporting Sale RFC.

Cheating Staff? There’s a few names I could mention there, but they have nothing to do with playing football.

Sale Rugby Club? Why don’t you support them and Everton ? Neville plays scrum half for Everton I believe.... he has a remarkable knack of hoofing it high and into touch! :)

Sorry to be so cynical! It’s been one of those weeks.

We already have the cheating staff, Yak, Arteta and Pienaar can dive with the best of them

Ged, isn’t the Yak going down as if he has been shot at times, deemed as cheating?

The Yak, Pienaar and Arteta

The Yak doesn’t do it in the right areas of the pitch. i.e. in the penalty box.

Then again I don’t like to see our players cheating.

This kind of thing happens when you?re so thirsty with greed, twisted for money, do anything and everything to corrupt the system and ethos to gain an advantage, to get your hands on the title at all cost, that you sell your soul to the Dark Side. MTFBWY.

Well Ged, we did send a Video to the FA to look at 12 pens that we thought we should have had, and they agreed that 11 of then were pens... However for our cheek, the refs this season have not given us one pen. As for Yaks one dive in the box, it looked rather daft, he needs to go onto you-tube under "Gerrard dives" to see how it's really done.
