Venue: White Hart Lane. Date: Saturday 11th Feb, 2012. Kick-off: 5.30pm. Referee: Andre Marriner.
Good afternoon Geordies (or should that be good evening?) and welcome to our regular "match banter"
feature. Today of course we face Tottenham Hotspur away at White Hart Lane. If you read my match
preview you will see from the stats [.
Sir Alex Ferguson has claimed that after refusing to shake Patrice Evra's hand ahead of
kick-off, Luis Suarez should not be allowed to play for Liverpool again.
"I could not believe it, I just could not believe it," Ferguson said. "He's a
disgrace to Liverpool Football Club, that certain player should not be allowed to play for
Liverpool again.

So, it was Luis Suarez who refused Patrice Evra's offer of a handshake at Old
Trafford earlier this afternoon...
The mascot is seen here at the exact moment he realises he's not the most immature man on
the pitch
Evra grabbed Suarez, then Rio Ferdinand also refused to shake his hand.
Venue: White Hart Lane, Tottenham. Date: Saturday 11th Feb, 2012. Kick-off: 5.30pm. Referee: Andre
Marriner. It would be tempting to think that Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp had been distracted
by one or two other things this week whilst preparing his 'Spurs squad for this weeks game, but
that would probably be folly.
Have you ever seen a referee so cool?
Whenever a mass protest occurs in which physical violence is an imminent threat or has already
occurred, you're bound to see a referee fleeing like the alien arrival scene in a blockbuster film,
mouth gaping, tears flowing and "Mommy" clearly audible.

Today's referee is Kevin Friend This review can also bring some perspective to our goalless draw
this week as one of our competitors for the 4th spot went under at Bolton.
I find this hilariously funny!
David Beckham got sent off from a youth soccer match:
"It was the younger kids of Romeo's club, and they're playing in the game and there was a
penalty given. And the kids are 7 years old and he sent the kid off." After that, Beckham, who has
seen his share of red cards in his career (including a crucial one in a World Cup match against
Argentina in 1998), did what so many parents of youth soccer players have done — he opened his
mouth.
How sad to hear Harry Keough had passed away. I was lucky enough to interview him along with
another legend Tom Finney in the run-up to the 2006 World Cup and I never forgot his warmth and
generosity.I probably took up more of his time than I should have done, and the interview only
ended when his wife Alma reminded him that he needed to get his cleats on and referee a girls'
school match, at the
Afro aggro A match in the Belgian league descended into a bit of a girly catfight, complete with
hair pulling, last pulling. Lierse and Standard each had a player sent-off, despite red-carded
Standard defender Felipe being the victim of the hair attack. Boban Grncarov Lierse's Macedonian
defender conceded a free-kick in the Liege [.
By Tony Edwards - San Jose, CA (Feb 7, 2012) US Soccer Players -- In today's edition, Peter Vermes'
shocking plan to get the most out of Bobby Convey, David Beckham confronts a referee over a red
card, how Peter Nowak is building the Union, and the struggles of Jozy Altidore's AZ Alkmaar. What
is Peter Vermes' (early) plan to get the best out of Bobby Convey?
David Beckham's reent ejection from a youth soccer game has been receiving a lot of attention in
the press. To hear Becks describe it, he quite rightly protested a referee ejecting a 7-year old
from a youth soccer game and the ref kicked him out of the park as a result.
If Beckham's telling is accurate, it seems the ref overreacted twice and this is all much ado
about nothing.
Venue: St James'Park, NE1. Date: 5th February 2012 Kick Off: 1.30pm Referee: Mark Halsey. Well, it
was another three points in the bag for the Magpies as they passed the supposedly "magical" 40
point mark, with no less than 14 games of the Premiership season to go. Apart from this though, the
most obvious salient [.
Juventus will be facing Milan tomorrow in the Coppa Italia and unfortunately for both teams,
they will not be getting a taste of the Ibrahimedic. He slapped (or rather
'nudged') Napoli's Salvatore Aronica in the face on Sunday something you shouldn't
be surprised about, given Ibra's track record and is expected to serve a three-match ban.

What. A. Game! If there ever was a marque game for the Premier League it was this one. Great goals,
drama, penalties, a wonderful comeback, and horrible refereeing. A lot of people are of the opinion
that Howard Webb was Uniteds best player of the day, but the "best referee in the world" had an

Luis Suarez returned to a hero's welcome at Anfield after serving a lengthy match ban for
racially abusing Patrice Evra. And four minutes after he entered the match as a substitute, Suarez
proved he is not racist by kicking Spurs' old-timey white man Scott Parker square in the belly
during the scoreless draw (moving pictures here).

Always the composed, corporate-friendly gentleman away from the game, David Beckham is a fierce
competitor on the pitch who has never shied away from telling a referee exactly what he's thinking.
This has gotten him in trouble from time to time and as he revealed on Saturday's episode of "The
Jonathan Ross show"; it's even gotten him kicked out of a Los Angeles area children's match just
for trying to defend a 7-year-old kid.
Having mastered the art of kicking teammates, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has now moved on to slapping
opponents. Zlatan was sent off in the 64th minute of Milan's 0-0 draw against Napoli for reaching
around teammate Antonio Nocerino to slap Salvatore Aronica in the face. If the slap is ruled to be
a violent gesture, then Ibra will have to serve a three-match ban.
Olympique de Marseille vs. Olympique Lyonnais
Stade Vélodrome – Week 22, Ligue 1.
The swords are drawn.
The only two teams in French League alive in four championships play in The Olympico at
Stade Vélodrome. Not just another League match, but one that will set expectations for greater
games to come.
Some things are just coincidental and some things are not, there is more to them, it is not just
luck that has led to a rather unlikely outcome or occurrence. Today Howard Webb referees yet
another big Manchester United game. Today Martin Atkinson does not referee yet another Manchester
United game.

Henry to start?
Horrible is the word to describe our last meeting against Blackburn Rovers. Steve Kean's side
only had two shots on goal and still managed to beat us 4-3. That was a dark day in our season but
nothing compared to the run of form we are in now. The draw at Bolton was the first league point we
picked up this season and we're now facing an uphill battle to find our way back into Champions
League spots.
This might be a touch simplistic and naive, but...
Shouldn't DVDs on 'how to tackle' be handed out to the youth teams of Premiership clubs, rather
than the guys getting six figures a week to go in at some poor man's ankles?
But the higher ups at the FA in England have deemed it a necessary act.

Remember on Tuesday evening? When Benoit Assou-Ekotto very nearly carved Franco Di Santo's leg
in twain with a disgusting, over-the-ball leg-breaker of a horror tackle?
A tackle, it's perhaps worth noting, that apparently didn't merit any form of punishment for BAE
from either the referee at the time (as the blood sopped through the Argentine's sock) or the FA's
disciplinary committee?

But what is it that influences the decisions that Grandad makes?

Teenagers. Being the walking volcanoes of untameable hormones and angst that they are, naturally,
they are highly unpredictable. Put 22 of them on a pitch, give them a ball, some fans, and a
referee crew? The humanity! Aston Villa took on Marseille Wednesday night as hosts, champions of
Group 3, and owners of the second-best defensive record in the inaugural NextGen Series.
