That is a total fucking disgrace. The linesman must be bent.

Unless you're speaking of Darren, that kind of insult really isn't on.

You do realise bent in this context means corrupt?

Did not, sorry Rigadon for the accusation. Never heard it in that context before.

Really? Bent copper etc??

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Well the linesman will be on MOTD tonight, which is clearly what he wanted. Well done him.

[mrfuse]

can assistant refs get demoted as well?

[Yossarian]

As if having limitless funds isn't enough they get all the luck too.

Its what they are doing with these limitless funds. Nobody is that incompetent.

[Rigadon]

SOmebody else posted the respective costs of the teams and that's one thing.  But the very obvious bias that favours the top team in this league is the real divider.

[hilts_coolerking]

That should not have gone in.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Guzan really should've saved that.

[PaulWinch again]

This does paper over the cracks of a piss poor performance. But the officials have killed us.

[timeoutbigbar]

Fuck this.  We were never going to be allowed to get anything from this game. 

[PaulWinch again]

Terrible goalkeeping now.

[dean saunders left boot]

4 nil. Not that the game has looked anything like a 4 nil game. Oh well.

[Pete3206]

Christ, we're looking at a cricket score now

[peter w]

It's an older saying. Often used on TV in the 70's. I still use it sometimes. Here is a definition of it.

bent
1. An individual who abuses his/her position of power, or operates on the periphery of legality
"That copper is as bent as a nine pound note."
