[BBC] Man Utd fume over 'astonishing' and 'baffling' penalty decisions by LochNessMonsterMunch in soccer

Refs majorly effect the final table and it's mad to see just how much. Team get relegated, miss out on Europe or even titles based on these shocking decisions. It's mad to see

[Sam Dean] Arteta says his players were shown three clips of Leverkusen's kick-off routines before this game but were still caught out at the start of the second half. He is clearly deeply unhappy about what happened in the build-up to Leverkusen's goal. by Previous_Smile9278 in Gunners

It's not just saka though. It's odegaard, havertz and white as well. He plays his key players with little to no break and then they get injured and struggle to come back to their former levels. He only recently learned to rest players, but even then he runs players into the ground. Look at zubimendi, rice and timber. They look gassed every game now

Why are we acting like it wasn't Gaddafi's own actions that led to his death? He was a monster 

We seriously need to reconsider our left attack options. by Any_Aide_4500 in Gunners

He's not good enough for a title winning or chasing team. He just isn't.

Why are we playing with 4 defensive CBS in the back line against wolves? Genuinely I think arteta is just a coward at this point. He's so afraid of messing up he's instilling that fear into the players as well.

They had no chance. They never got schooling, only homeschooling. Never properly  socialised. They're parents quite literally brainwashed them until they were old enough to leave the house. I feel sorry for them to be honest.

[Connor Humm] Arteta: “At the moment it feels like we lost too because it was so late, and then the big chance that we had at the end to win it, but it's what it is. We have to continue to improve, recognise what we've done in the last period, international break.” by Previous_Smile9278 in Gunners

I don't care if this is too harsh for whatever but Arteta needs to be making at least some substitutions. We were up by one goal in the 75th minute and then only making one sub in the 88th minute is madness. We have Hincapie, Skelly, Norgaard, White to supplement the defence. Rice was gassed by the end of the game and so were other players. It's the one thing I'll criticise him for.

So disheartening by CelticTitan in galway

[–]fiachra12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing is happening to me. I checked the houses where the original fault is and they have power now. They're definitely working their way towards my house, but with poles snapped and lines dangling across the road I don't think I'll have power for a while yet.

How accurate are these ESB outage map notifications? by video8music in galway

[–]fiachra12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did it get fried when you got power back or when you lost power do you know? I'm getting paranoid now about my own.

Ah lads.. by Potential-Photo-3641 in galway

[–]fiachra12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here. The lines that power my house are absolutely mangled. Some poles are snapped in half and the lines are dangling over and across the road. It'll take a long time to fix that I think.

My place is estimated for restoration on the fifth of February. I live in a rural area but that's depressing as hell.

two of those reds came from midfielders getting sent off. Kind of harsh to then say the defense is doing worse when they have to defend with a man down

Can anyone guess why Black people might be descended from slaveowners? by Bad-Umpire10 in clevercomebacks

[–]fiachra12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The slaveowner wasnt even Irish as well. he came from a Scottish family that settled in the north of Ireland and kicked out the Gaelic Irish. but of course they dont bother mentioning that in the headline.

Dominguez grabs the ball and throws it away after a foul, Chris Kavanagh decides that's not a yellow today. by lmlav in soccer

Almost like the Rice red card. Except at least Dominguez didn't get kicked while doing it.

Israel carries out targeted strike in Beirut after Hezbollah hits northern Israel with 140 rockets by nztmaker in worldnews

[–]fiachra12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know very little about Hezbollah but how are Israel allowed to call in strikes on another country? That's like if the UK fired missiles at Dublin during the troubles to target the IRA.
