He should have been charged for his reaction and tweet. Neither are acceptable when refs need more respect and not less. It might just make them perform better.
They went from booking players for just giving the ref a dirty look at the beginning of the season to no bookings for this. At least be consistent.Just seen Haaland might be facing a charge from the FA over his reaction and social media post afterwards. I know the ref made a mistake, but players have been booked for dissent for much less than his (and other City player reactions) reaction. Mainly Maddison when he got booked for putting his hands on his head in disbelief in the Sheffield game!
Don't worry, we are still having 5 months of games to go. Many things can happen. The scum and liverpool this season really have not convinced me in their play other than being fortunate with some decisions and their injuries. Their European games will really be their greatest challenge. We shall see.Pep coming out this early in the season and saying he thinks they will win the league to me shows the pressure is getting to him.
Unfortunately I think Arsenal or Liverpool will win it because it’s so hard for teams to maintain their level after achieving a treble.
I don't know, he seems like quite a humble lad and was probably a bit embarrassed that he lost it like he did.Lol at Haaland. Resorting to self-ridicule now to stop the unwanted attention. Probably great advice by someone else but he himself must be fuming acting to be funny.
He should be in trouble for his reaction because he lost it and players can't be treating the officials like that.He should have been charged for his reaction and tweet. Neither are acceptable when refs need more respect and not less. It might just make them perform better.
His family and entourage, Alfie especially, come across as very arrogant pricks at times. But Erling himself, as long as you talk to him solely about football as I literally don't think he has any other interests in life whatsoever, comes across alright most of the time.I don't know, he seems like quite a humble lad and was probably a bit embarrassed that he lost it like he did.
To me, he comes across as someone who's able to laugh at themselves and I think it's harsh to try and find fault in that response.

There was nothing wrong with his tweet though.
That's Trump.It’s the same thing. He’s still questioning the officials. Now any player can do the same thing to a decision they don’t like and avoid punishment. A stupid president.
Is that maybe a defensive mechanism? Like, just being a bit guarded.His family and entourage, Alfie especially, come across as very arrogant pricks at times.

Absolutely no excuses for what he did, but there's a reason Roy Keane thought "have that you ****" before he snapped his leg in half. I can't say I remember him particularly fondly as a player.Is that maybe a defensive mechanism? Like, just being a bit guarded.
Although, I'd think that most 'entourages' are full of pricks and hangers on with attitude.
Surprised about his old man though, if he's included in that because he always seemed quite grounded to me.
I don't remember him much as a player to be honest, I didn't pay much attention to him I suppose.Absolutely no excuses for what he did, but there's a reason Roy Keane thought "have that you ****" before he snapped his leg in half. I can't say I remember him particularly fondly as a player.
The story was Keane did his ACL the season before and Halaand stood over him laughing and saying some horrible stuff about hoping he never played again etc. I think Keane has since said he didn't mean to break his leg but he's not one bit sorry that he did, or something like that.Absolutely no excuses for what he did, but there's a reason Roy Keane thought "have that you ****" before he snapped his leg in half.
