Football Results: Sat 28th, Rob Styles Causes Chaos

This weekends football action was pretty decent. Good matches, some terrible refereeing, players seeing red, and a potential goal of the year.

I’m going to start with the worst thing about today: Rob Styles giving Manchester United a penalty (and the win) for a perfectly executed Bolton challenge on diving git Ronaldo. Bolton were doing well in the match, they are a tough side to play against even for the ‘top 4′ teams. If they can’t beat you in skill levels, they’ll have a go at determination.  After 61 minutes of holding down the reds, Bolton defender Jlloyd Samuel slid in to block Ronaldo’s weaving run just inside the box, meeting the ball perfectly and barely touching the prancing fool. Rob Styles – not ten feet away – saw his hero fall to the floor and awarded a penalty to the bemused Manchester Utd team.

Such an utter bout of incompetance is expected at a badly organised pub football match, but in the Premier league you would expect some degree of game rule knowledge. Even my missus knows that if you get the ball first, its not a foul. But Styles has done this before, he’s a known idiot in the game. Even pundit Alan Hanson had a go at his idiocy, and I think he should be banned from refereeing games in the Premier league.

To me this just enforces the fact that we need video evidence for ref’s, nearly every other sport uses it, but football league organisers are just to stubborn and don’t want to damage the beautiful game. Newsflash: the beautiful game was damaged the day billionaire playboys were allowed to buy over clubs and lavish insane sums of money on players.

The other huge upset of the day was Hull City’s 2-1 dumping of Arsenal. Brazilian Geovanni scored what will definitely feature in the goal of the season awards on Match of the Day, his stunning strike from over 30 yards out is what football is all about. A belter.

Other bits and pieces;

Newcastle are totally screwed.

Fulham lost to the Hammers after letting their emotions get to them. Andy Johnson got red carded for being a twat for the whole game.

Chelsea brushed Stoke City aside, Anelka Finally did something useful.

Liverpool owned Everton in the Merseyside derby, Torres is back on form.

Results:

Arsenal 1 – 2 Hull City

Stoke City 0 – 2 Chelsea

Aston Villa 2 – 1 Sunderland

Middlesbrough 0 – 1 West Bromwich Albion

Newcastle United 1 – 2 Blackburn Rovers

Manchester United 2 – 0 Bolton Wanderers

Fulham 1 – 2 West Ham United

Everton 0 – 2 Liverpool
