Elvis is a cheat

[bocadillo]

... apparently!

Millwall have had their appeal to overturn Paul Robinson's red card at Leicester City on Boxing Day upheld.

Robbo was shown a straight red by referee Graham Salisbury at the Walkers Stadium for allegedly denying Foxes striker Elvis Hammond 'an obvious goalscoring opportunity'.

However, having studied video evidence of the incident, an FA Panel decided that the 23-year-old was completely vindicated and he will now be eligible to play at Brighton.



Which seems very odd because neither he nor any other of the Millwall players seem to argue about the decision at the time.

rest of blurb:-

In this controversial two-part series, Dawkins describes God as the most unpleasant fictional character of all and launches a wholehearted attack on religion as the cause for much of the pain and suffering in the world. In the light of overwhelming scientific evidence that shows a supreme being cannot exist, and in a world in which religious conflict and bigotry are increasingly centre stage, he believes that for the good of humanity, religion needs to be challenged and dismissed. In this first film, Professor Dawkins confronts the march of militant religious belief across the world. In the American "Bible Belt", he meets Ted Haggard, the President of the American National Association of Evangelicals, who believes that science will one day prove the Bible's Creation story right. In Jerusalem, where the terrible certainties of faith began and still rage, he challenges the Grand Mufti of Palestine and discusses with Yousef Al Khattab, a Jewish settler turned Muslim fundamentalist, the implacable hatreds that faith has thrown up in this blighted city. The 21st century, Dawkins argues, should be an age of reason but we are threatened by those who see unreason as a positive virtue. Faith is an indulgence of irrationality that is nourishing extremism, division and terror

I assume, from a quick read of the above, there will be no repeats on the Paramount comedy channel:icon_lol:

Elvis is a cheat

Just because the red card was overturned it doesn't necessarily mean Elvis dived. He may have fallen over as the result of a fair tackle, he may not have even realised the tackle was fair.

 

[Ox Fox]

Elvis trips over his own shadow plenty enough so it's probably a fair call.

 

[bocadillo]

Are you saying that you didn't see Elvis take those two extra steps to try to make it look as though the offence had happened in the box?


But even more interesting IMO was Tiatto's attempts not to get sent off by first pretendong that he was injured and then when he realised that that wasn't going to work, trying to get over to the other side of the pitch before the ref had an opportunity to deal with the incident. No appeal available to him of course - except that of mistaken identity, and then the club would have to put somebody else forward for his second booking (who have we got that looks even a little like Tiatto?)

No I'm not saying that. Even if he did deliberately keep going into the box it could still have been as the result of a genuine foul.

Good luck to him if he did..... other feckers have done the same against us and got away with it. Everybody these days refer to the "swings and roundabouts".
