Meenzer 15869 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I'm so glad there's a dedicated thread about this. Our towel piss-taking made my night almost as much as the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Apparently Stoke can take up to 10 mins per half fucking about with towels and throw-ins, but do we ever see 10 mins of injury time against the bastards? Nope, didn't see the game but I am waiting for a clip of this, sounds hilarious and very apt given the opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idioteque 0 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Hate Stoke, watched the game on mute so was wondering what Pulis was moaning about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idioteque 0 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Also noticed that Stoke had the pitch shortened for tonights game, cunts trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmatix 0 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) Anyone else notice how much the cheating bastards had made the pitch smaller ? Length and width. To change your pitch size once the league has started has to be wrong. Shit -- beat me to it Edited November 1, 2011 by Dogmatix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

27020 0 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Aye great the way Simpson was laughing like fuck asking for the towel for every throw that's the way to fuck 'em up play them at their own game they don't like it hope all the other sides do the same when they go there. Pulis was just about fucking crying in the interview about how they had given us the goals claiming the first one was offside looked like he was going to mention the pen until he realised they got theirs for the same reason what a fucking knob. :icon_lol: :icon_lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nortoon 0 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I've zeroed in now. Good towel incidents are at the 79th min! We want video! Get a norwegian tv2 sumo subscription! You're also the closest person to be able to claim a free nosh from Saltwater...let us know if he's any good. Not letting him know where I live, far too much indication he could be the next Breivik on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31592 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Anyone else notice how much the cheating bastards had made the pitch smaller ? Length and width. To change your pitch size once the league has started has to be wrong. Shit -- beat me to it They were using their standard league size i.e. narrowed and shortened to allow them to get more throw ins into the box. The green markings were for a Europa League match where all clubs have to use the same size pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 2 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I can't believe that that's allowed. Cheating cunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 7788 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I can't believe that that's allowed. Cheating cunts. It's ridiculous. The high stakes Europa league are smart enough to ensure that sort of tomfoolery doesn't take place but apparently the FA aren't. The pitch should be the maximum size safely possible within the constraints of the stadium. Regardless of the results it ruins the viewing spectacle of matches.

TheMoog 0 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Which game was it where the team playing against Stoke moved the hoardings up really close to the pitch so Stoke's long throw specialists couldn't get a run up? I'm sure I remember Delap getting a shitty on about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4446 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I can't believe that that's allowed. Cheating cunts. You can just imagine how clever Pulis thinks he is for doing it (though I suppose given their continuing top flight status he would argue it works). I remember Souness doing the same at Rangers where he allowed a team (Dinamo Kiev?) to actually train on the Ibrox pitch and them narrowed it as much as possible before the match just to upset them.

Barney 0 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 It wasn't us, I think it was the game before ours when Faye scored, and Owen got 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc-mag 1 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I seem to remember Tranmere had a long throw 'specialist' back in the day and as Prenton Park was so cramped he'd run down the steps of the main stand when the throw in was vaguely level with the gangways. Anyway absolutely delighted at our attitude towards the towels. If you're going to try and reduce the game to a catapult contest expect people who care about football to do anything within their power to fuck you over.

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Does Rory Delap actually do anything else? He is what, 36 now - and I can't remember anything he's ever done aside from setting up a few goals with his throws. Fair play to him and the club in a way - it might not be pretty but if it's legit then you can't really blame them for using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Steve Watson never used a towel for his Moscow State Circus style throw-ins. Proper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played against us (and did that) when we played them in the cup. Was it the 1/4 final when Robson was manager?
