One of them suggested Carroll will start banging them in once he gets some service
Yeah, he's deadly just before last orders.

is there a single website he HASNT been banned from?
I honestly don't know, was Perch booked for simulation as everyone seems to be saying? I thought he was booked for the original trip on Reina that led to him turning round a confronting Perch.
simpsons handball is a yellow at worst. is these such thing as a red card handball?
Seems fair to me. I thought Simpson's movement was him trying to get his shoulder on the ball and not quite making it, which caused his arm to move with his chest, didn't look to me like a man trying to use an arm illegally, or he would have used more of a swatting motion.

After Fergie knocked Liverpool off their perch, their players have a problem with all Perches, including James.
As much as I hate to see players throwing themselves to the ground in mock agony, Reina gave the ref a decision to make by attempting a soft headbutt in the first place. He only has himself to blame for losing his temper.
100% red. They got away with it.
I took it as him being booked for the trip, or at most just in that way that refs decide it's best to book both parties when people are squaring up to each other.
If he was booked for the dive, then that'd be a pretty fair decision (Reina off for the intenet & the action and him booked for making the most of it) but I'm not aware of any instant ever where a ref has booked someone for foul play and someone for diving at the same time.
There is absolutely no argument. None at all.
Can't blame Perch. He's only doing what he's seen countless other professionals before him do. He's the kid in the playground who was taught about the game by watching the likes of Rivaldo.
The players who wouldn't have reacted similarly or identically are in the minority.
To say 'but there's no contact made' is just a gross misunderstanding of rules. If a player tries to punch another and the other ducks it then there's no contact made but it's a sending off because of intent. Intent being important here.
Sure you can. He went down like he'd been shot in the face when he was barely touched. The red card was nailed on, but he was still guilty of simulation.

Well, there's that and the fact that he was in an argument with Reina. He played Reina like a master and won. Isn't that the kind of mindgame the media have been wanking over this past week?
I hate Nick and hope someone drops a skip on his head, but I agree with this.
Perch is a shithead.
Took a break. I couldn't resist returning after Liverpoo managed to get duffed again, though.where have you been recently you cock socket?

Personally I think both intent and contact are red herrings.
If you try to make an honest tackle but trip the player, there's no intent but it's still a foul. In fact, if you trip up and fall in his path it's still a foul, even though you didn't even intend to make a tackle at all.
If you lunge in for an honest tackle and miss, but he has to hurdle you to get out the way and he loses the ball, there's neither intent nor contact but it's still a foul.
The key issue is stopping/disrupting the oppo player without getting the ball. The laws don't quite reflect that but they should, and I think refs tend to see things that way.
Tackling and 'violent conduct' are two different things, IMO. Of course, tackling itself can be construed violent conduct and that's been seen as a 'two footed lunge'. But when your actions are outside of the 'normal' football movements like 'tackling' (whilst challenging for a ball) well then you're left with very little option but to send a player off.
Perch only did what many, many other players would do in the same situation in fairness to him.
If he had not gone down Reina may have stayed on, which would not have been fair at all.
He did the right thing

Being a cheating shitbag is "doing the right thing" now?

If he hadnt, Reina would have stayed on the pitch. Why should Perch allow an opposition player get away with that?
I think Perch was hurt (to what degree we don't know) and that's why he went down...
I'm not talking about violent conduct though. It doesn't even need to be a deliberate tackle. Imagine a goalie, rushing out to a striker who's through one-on-one. As he approaches he trips over his own feet at full pace and goes flying head-first at the striker. The striker is forced to leap out the way to avoid him, and the chance is lost.
No intent, no contact, certainly no dangerous play or violent contact, but a clear penalty.
Obviously most foul challenges have either contact or intent but they're not actually necessary, is what I'm saying. It's about the effect it has on the play, not a specific aspect of the challenge.
Anyway, RAWK... hehehe, it's in meltdown.
Because it's the officials' job to decide what's happened and punish appropriately, not the players' to put on a bit of theatre to make sure their decision is what he thinks is right.
It's the same reason it's not considered 'right' to tell the police that someone's shot you when in fact they've slapped you.
I've heard a lot of people over the years make more or less cynical arguments for play-acting and simulation, saying that in the current game a naive approach would leave you too much at the mercy of cynical opponents.
I've never heard anyone suggest that it's actually morally right to do it. Well done.
