The 2011/12 Gary Speed Memorial Thread

[Baddar]

The RVP one was the volley - it looked very nice, but the main reason it got so many votes was because it's so fresh in people's minds I think. And yes, Modric vs. Liverpool - such an amazing strike. Reina did well to make it look great, too, which helps.

[Matt]

Yeah, just looked at them, Modric's was the best.

[Baddar]

Surprise, surprise. Lee Probert getting in the way of players again.

[MJB]

Another great tackle there by Lee Probert, that's two in two games for the official.

[Colly]

Says a lot that Obertan can't even beat the ref, let alone his fullback though.

[Baddar]

Goal Newcastle - probably off Ba.

[Matt]

Looked like Agger to me.

[Colly]

Definitely Agger, though presume Cabaye has a fair claim. More importantly, what of Vuckics teeth?

[Baddar]

Yeah, replays showed it come off Agger for the OG. In saying that, there's a small chance Cabaye could have a claim as his original attempt was on target.

[Matt]

Another one of Adam's £10m set pieces there

Edit: Bellamy 1-1.

[MJB]

1-1. Bellamy. Great finish.

[DavidMarrio]

Lucky goal hopefully we'll stop shutting out of tackles and as I'm typing fucking bellamy live that man

[Baddar]

Bellers equalises. Well, that didn't last long.

[Hobo]

Charlie Adam is REALLY good at set pieces.

Then he gets lucky and the ball deflects to Bellamy for an equalizer!

[Baddar]

Much better from Liverpool in the last 5-10mins - it was better for Newcastle at 0-0.

[DavidMarrio]

Cabaye the dirty twat should be off what a joke that is refs looking right at it bot even a yellow fucking shambles

[IAceI]

Fucking hell Cabaye. That could have been a lot worse for Bellamy than what it was, and it's not like Cabaye is always innocent with his challenges from what I've seen. A talented player for sure but he wants to ensure he doesn't start getting himself a reputation.

[MJB]

Spearing's lucky not to be in hospital at the moment, horrible challenge by Cabaye.

[Colly]

Fucking hell Cabaye. That could have been a lot worse for Bellamy than what it was, and it's not like Cabaye is always innocent with his challenges from what I've seen. A talented player for sure but he wants to ensure he doesn't start getting himself a reputation.

The one on Spearing? Looked nasty but that's more to do with the speed he was flying in. Modern game if the ref sees it he's in bother, but I don't think there was anything malicious there.

[IAceI]

Oops, yeah, Spearing sorry. I'm trying to keep one eye on the match and obviously made a snap assumption.

I think he went in quite recklessly though, and he really wasn't close to the ball. I don't think he's particularly overly malicious but I don't necessarily think he's a shrinking violet when it comes to sticking his foot in a challenge.
