Premier League Nonsense

If I recall correctly UEFA are against using video evidence. So why pray tell are they using something they don't approve of to throw the book at Arsenal striker Eduardo? Why didn't they retroactively charge that simian Taylor, the man who twisted Eduardo's leg in two and nearly ended his career?

Populism. UEFA are not taking a lead here, they are reacting to headlines in newspapers and on TV. They are saying the referee's decision is no longer final. At half time, while the Celtic keeper was ranting and raving the ref clearly showed that he felt the keeper had made contact with Eduardo.

The ref got it wrong as TV later proved but are we now going to see every single bloody decision rexamined just cos the media kick up a hoo ha? Who runs the game, UEFA or the press?

All those times Ronaldo got away with diving are conveniently forgotten, UEFA has a scapegoat and they are about to make themselves look like right twats because they are following and not leading.

Are we going to see players retroactively given yellow or red cards because of a media circus? Are we going to see the ref's authority on the field undermined because of a few headlines.

Charding Eduardo is a sorry day for football.
