smacks a bit of 'name on the trophy'

Whilst I agree, the whole point of the respect campaign is to respect the referees and accept human error. The refereeing standard is poor and inconsistent IMO, but mistakes happen and it shouldn't be accepted that footballers behave in such a way on the field. As the argument always happens, in rugby, players generally accept the decision and if they don't, they get penalized for it. Football should be the same, players have to accept poor decisions, we know they won't but arguing a lost cause does absolutely little to help them.

I'm all for the respect campaign if it's done correctly, I get sick and tired of seeing footballers whinge their tits off every game because the ref made a mistake (in their opinion). Refereeing will never be perfect until technology is introduced, until that happens, players should have to get on with it and accept that human error will continue to be part of the game.

one for the future??



[list[/listThomas Ince



Date of Birth : 30 Jan 1992
Nationality : English

18 year old Thomas Ince is the son of former Reds skipper Paul. Thomas is a left winger with an excellent left foot who can also play on the right wing. However, towards the end of the 2008/09 season, Thomas moved into a central role just behind Lauri Dalla Valle which proved very successful towards the end of the campaign.

Thomas Ince has trained with the Academy for the last number of years and has worked his way successfully through the Liverpool's schoolboy teams and in the Summer of 2008 he was rewarded for his progress with a 3 year scholarship.

Thomas is quick, he can beat players and he is very good technically. He is developing well and as he gets bigger and stronger he will influence games more. He was one of the stars of the 2008/09 FA Youth Cup team that reached the final and he produced some sparkling performances, most notably his performance in the FA Youth Cup 3rd Round 2-1 win over Leeds at Elland Road. Ince gave a man of the match performance to ensure Hughie McAuleys side progressed through to the fourth Round. Ince played in a central striking role alongside Dalla Valle and capped a fine individual performance when he gave Liverpool the lead by curling a sublime 25 yard free kick into the top corner on 15 minutes.

The 2008/09 season was his debut season for the U18’s where he impressed featuring in 18 games for the U18's scoring 2 goals. He ended the 2008-09 season playing for the reserves in a tournament in Holland.

So far this season Ince has played 20 U18 League Games scoring two goals, he also fetured in the three Youth Cup Games where he also scored two goals...

The Barcelona, they are not liking the Special One.

They have obsession with the Madrid.

Shut up Pep!

[iThe worst goal miss ever! Thank You Sivonjić [/i on a website that no one links to.

Honourable mention in the miss stakes to Shefki Kuqi for Swansea against Barnsley.
Was the 'Taxi' moment on Soccer AM recently

For the keeper and Kuqi.

[iWorst miss of the century - Kei Kamara vs LA Galaxy[/i
Surely a contender.

Bit of a while to go yet to make that call...

I'm at a loss at how it would come across as bitter Seriously.

So you don't think he'll spend money this summer? Not difficult to work out when he'll open his cheque book is it?

And you call me bitter

Everton finish 4th is more a success story of how hard work and endeavor should be celebrated rather than laughed at because we went out in the Qualifying round to a team who reached the SF's that season.

Oh the embarrassment of finishing 4th.

you do realise Jose Mourinho sounds nothing like how you portray him on here. You are just copying that cr@p puppet show from Setanta sports.

What is this, is this the Special one getting the owned ?
