What d'you think, gents?

I'm not a big fan of Mr. Beckham, but it looked to me like Ibanez overreacted. (Saw the replay on FSC) Maybe he was hot from the previous yellow card?

i saw this on the telly

the ref did over react, no doubt. But becks should have known better, he could see thet the ref was all in a state and should have just shut up..

i am all for disciplining dissent, i go to our local teams games at the weekend and the linesmen/refs take a power of verbal abuse from the players, mostly questioning the man's parental intergrity, intellectual capacity and visual faculties.

its awful.

get off becks...and shut the fock up...ya stupid blind bastard..

Agreed. Most other sports have zero tolerance when it comes to players inlfuencing the ref (eg: rugby - when a player opens his mouth it's 10 yards). Footy should be no difference - ref's decision is final.

Becks should move to south america where it's legal to whip out a 9mm and cap the ref if you don't like what he says

MountainPro

His experience should really show here, he is the captain of england for gods sake. Its time to give up the tantrums.

watched the match and while no fan of becks I do feel that the last two sending offs were harsh to say the least ( not to mention 2 penalties that were´nt )
I live in the communidad de valencia so have little time for real so for me to say the ref was duff ...........

How's about sending him off permanently? Preferably to the U.S.

Wurm

Naw, you can keep him in Yurp. We have enough tantrum-prone spoiled brats here as it is (ie: Smirky the Chimp).

"who's beckham?" shoulda been one of your options.

Beckham is playing some of the best stuff of his life for Real Madrid at the moment. The second booking was not on dirty list IMO. Have you seen how much stuff he has to put up with during a game? I've seen a few great footballers in my life, and he's one of them.

I''d love to challenge him either in running, cycling or in the gym and see how fit he really is.
Paula Radcliff yes. Kelly Holmes yes. Tim Henman O.K.
But can we please get shot of this idiot Beckham and his spoilt brat mate Rooney?

Wurm

Looks like he dodged this one after all:

Beckham's very fit and wealthy and talented, always has been. Henman has always failed to deliver at Wimbledon, but at one time was ranked 8th in the world. Andrew Murray the young Scot has just knocked out Timmikins, now rated at about 150.
You seem to go for the feminine side of things, therefore you might be a closet poofter.
Young Mister Rooney is the greatest naturally talented player I have seen in the last 50 years since the ill-fated Midlander Duncan Edwards perished in Manchester Uniteds fateful aircrash at Munich. Even Sir Bobby Charlton glazes over when Duncan is mentioned, and shakes his head in a gesture of only he knows what's in his mind.
Rooney has been voted Best Young Player of the Year by his fellow professionals worldwide.
So where does that leave you, you bitter and twisted non achiever?
