right unless Uncle disagrees, I propose rule amendment 1 to add Boogs to the exemption list from the late entry penalty and the default penalty for anyone else joining late (Al?) becomes the worse of where they would have been if joined on time or the worstest team when they join

OK Uncle?

Player injured, goalkeeper throws the ball out, play resumes but instead of returning the ball to the goalkeeeper, Yeovil score... fight ensues....game resumes, goes to extra time, Yeovil score... play resumes, Yeovil players stand there and allow Brum to walk a goal in... penalties, Brum win  :thumbsup:

My reasoning as given to Steve:

Bale has an influence over a game above and beyond just the number of goals scored. Arsenal would have played different if Bale had played. They would have concentrated on him to the detriment of more open play. The result could easily have been different. Bale is definitely a key player

You're welcome to make a counter argument.

I wouldn't despair at the early results.  The Championship teams were always likely to take the cup hits early.  The Champions League teams (for Apey, Baldy and moi) will be taking hits after December and if really unlucky/crap can each take one more hit than Forest can

"Deducting 5 points for a moderate calamity for the club:
KO - knocked out of a cup competition the club took seriously (IE for a club in Europe the League Cup does not count) "


IMHO putting Bendtner on as a starting striker is 100% proof they weren't taking it seriously

Multiple Calamities for Uncle and the missing Growler

1. "Terrible luck for West Ham as Luis Suarez takes a shot which bounces off goalkeeper Jussi Jasskelainen and deflects into Guy Demel who turns it into his own goal. "
2. "Guy Demel whips a cross to the far post which Matt Jarvis puts back into the mixer for Martin Skrtel to turn past his own keeper."
3. "West Ham's discipline is going now - Kevin Nolan rightly being sent for an early bath for an awful rake down the back of Jordan Henderson's calf."
4.  "Luis Suarez turns Mark Noble inside out on the edge of the area and hammers a shot which takes a wicked deflection off Joey O'Brien and nestles into the back of the net."

Is AVB's going to pay for dealing Tipsy a Double Calamity with a P45 on Monday?

"RED CARD- Tottenham 0-2 Liverpool - Paulinho
A shake of the head from Andre Villas-Boas. Luis Suarez knocks the ball forward and Paulinho's challenge is late. In fact, he kicks the Liverpool striker in the ribs,"
"Tottenham 0-5 Liverpool Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy looks on as the final whistle is blown. Is the sword of Damocles hovering over Andre Villas-Boas?"

Djamel Abdoun skips down the left and unselfishly passes to the onrushing Andy Reid who aims true into the top corner."
"It is just a five-minute cameo for Fabio which ends in an eyesore of a tackle on Jose Canas."

Need a rule interpretation

The rules say you have a calamity if you lose a game or tie by 5 clear goals.  So Uncle lost a point for losing 6:0 tonight.  IMHO he can't then lose another point if the aggregate of the tie has a 5 clear goals defeat.

But if they lose by 5 clear goals in the second leg (not impossible) then that will be a second calamity (and of course a KO calamity on top).

The rules say Uncle has to agree such a ruling but any comments from others?

Matt Smith, on as a substitute at the interval, is sent off for a late aerial challenge on Sheffield Wednesday's Reda Johnson, giving referee Lee Probert no real choice."
"It's all over at Hillsborough and it was a day to forget for Leeds as they were beaten 6-0 by Sheffield Wednesday. The final goal in injury time by Caolan Lavery summed up the afternoon for Brian McDermott's side who have now lost their last four matches in all competitions."
"James Tomkins trudges to the sidelines after a high foot almost rearranges Frazier Campbell's nose. Second booking and West Ham's defensive shortcomings are only going to get worse with a one-match ban to come."

"RED CARD - Chelsea 3-1 Man Utd - Nemanja Vidic
Madness! A really rash challenge from Nemanja Vidic as Eden Hazard runs away from him in midfield and Vidic just snaps, flying into a scissor challenge and hacking him down.

The sort of challenge you put in when you've been hammered by a teenager online on a console game. Pure frustration."

Re the calamity rules if (when!) WHU lose the second leg then the tie will have a clear 5 goal difference so that would be another calamity on top of the calamity points for being knocked out. If they lose by 6-0 again that would be a triple calamity.

Well looks like the triple calamity has been avoided Uncle but an awful night for your Hammers in the calamity league with a knock out and 9 nil tie

As said midweek  Calamities for Apey and Tipsy but no table change

Mathieu Flamini. Two-footed lunge on Morgan Schneiderlin. Red card. No complaints."
"RED CARD- Tottenham 0-1 Man City - Danny Rose
And the Spurs full-back is given his marching orders, despite seeming to get to the ball. The hosts are furious."

Just the one Calamity over the weekend then (for Uncle)

"RED CARD- West Ham 2-0 Swansea - Andy Carroll
Andy Carroll's off - and I'm not quite sure why. The big striker goes up for a physical, aerial challenge with Chico Flores and, in the motion of coming down and untangling himself from the Swansea defender, he unintentionally clips his opponent on the back of the head. And I mean clips. Very harsh."

Indeed it was an absolute scandal of a decision but it was still a calamity on the day and imho this game is all about schadenfreude. 

So what do others think?  If a red card is successfully appealed should the calamity be struck off too?

(As a comparison the official premier league Fantasy Football (http://fantasy.premierleague.com/rules/) says it counts even if successfully appealed)

Well with the all new rule amendment and today's news that the FA have decided to reconsider we have an all new Suspended Calamity for Uncle

"The Football Association will reconsider its decision to uphold a three-match ban for West Ham striker Andy Carroll on Friday.
The club had threatened legal action against the FA after their initial attempt to overturn the ban was rejected by an appeals panel.
But the Premier League strugglers say they will now abide by any decision made at the arbitration hearing."

Sorry Uncle but the FA's ability to know FA about what's what means it's a reinstated Calamity for the red card

"An independent tribunal has upheld the Football Association's decision to reject West Ham's appeal against Andy Carroll's three-match ban.
The Premier League side threatened legal action against the FA after their initial attempt to overturn the ban was turned down.
Carroll will now miss the Hammers' matches against Aston Villa, Norwich and Southampton."

Well in point terms the worstest/bestest weekend as Snoopy, Baldy, Boogs and now the Bear suffer Knockout Calamities

"Sunderland continued their cup success this season as a much-changed side saw off a poor Southampton team to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals."
"Manchester City exacted their revenge on a Chelsea side that has beaten them twice in the Premier League this season with a convincing win that puts them in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup."
"Sheffield United 3-1 Nottingham Forest They've done it! Nigel Clough celebrates as his side make their way to the last eight amid a roar from the stands"
"Arsenal 2-1 Liverpool Neither team really deserved to loose that game. Suarez and Sturridge are sitting on the turf, looking devastated "

A classic day for Calamity football as Baldy and Foggy share 4 Calamities .  Just when it looked like Baldy had this all done and dusted

"second-placed Burnley are drawing 1-1 with Leeds after Jason Pearce put through his own net ."
"RED CARD - Chelsea's Willian
Willian had initially been earmarked to come off for Andre Schurrle before a change of mind from Jose Mourinho. He is off anyway now. The Brazilian, booked in the first half for a foul on Karim El Ahmadi, tugs back Fabian Delph to earn a second yellow and his marching orders."
"Ramires has clattered Karim El Ahmadi with an ugly double-footed stamp and Chris Foy gives him the straight red he deserves."
"And Jose Mourinho is also sent packing! The Chelsea boss is sent down the tunnel for his loud and persistant protestations."

"GOAL- Arsenal 2-2 Swansea - Mathieu Flamini own goal (90 mins)
Calamity at the back for Arsenal with three Arsenal players touching the ball after Leon Britton's final attempt to stab in, but none able to keep out the equaliser. Per Mertesacker slides in to rob Britton as he bursts into the box, it ricochets off Wojciech Szczesny and rebounds off Mathieu Flamini before rolling apologetically over the line. "

With a Calamity each for Baldy and Tipsy this looks better and better each week for Snoopy.  Well it would were it not for  . . .  .

More BBC commentary:

"We've got a game on now! Joel Ward's cross from the left is headed past his own keeper by John Terry, under pressure from Joe Ledley. What have you got, Chelsea?"
"You couldn't make it up. Liverpool are ahead in their first attack thanks to a comedy own goal from Younes Kaboul. The hosts get down the right through Glen Johnson and Raheem Sterling. When the ball comes across, Kaboul gets himself into a terrible tangle and can only backheel into his own net "

A Euro Calamity for Baldy puts Snoopy on top  :thumbsup:

More BBC commentary:

"GOAL - PSG 2-1 Chelsea - David Luiz (OG 62 mins) It's another terrific delivery from that man Ezequiel Lavezzi, bending in a free-kick from wide on the left, right into the mixer. Petr Cech can't claim it, Zlatan can't hook it in but it hits David Luiz almost on the line and cannons in. "

Leeds seem to have escaped the Administration doom but another Calamity for Apey:

More BBC commentary:

"GOAL- Everton 3-0 Arsenal - Mikel Arteta (OG 62 mins)  . . . Kevin Mirallas strips Bacary Sagna of the ball and hares off toward goal. He then plays in Steven Naismith with a great ball, he is stopped from rounding Wojciech Szczesny but the ball pops back out. Mirallas and Mikel Arteta scramble for the ball and Arteta gets the final touch to send the ball into the net. Everton in dreamland!

A Euro knock out Calamity for United sends me tumbling to the depths and dwarfs the sending off for Boogs' Forest :

More BBC commentary:

"Bayern Munich 3-1 Man Utd (Agg: 4-2)
"Over the two games the best team has won, Manchester United in the second half was the best they have played over the two legs but they switched off and Bayern Munich got back in it and were convincing winners in the end."

Can''t find live text for Forest but Danny Collins was sent off for two yellows

The Bear's triumph against City did come at the expense of a Calamity or two :

More BBC commentary:

"GOAL- Liverpool 2-2 Man City - Glen Johnson OG (62 mins) . .Samir Nasri and David Silva play some tiki-taka inside the box, Silva's low cross comes off the toes of Glen Johnson and creeps inside the near post."
"Jordan Henderson takes a heavy touch and goes in high and late on Samir Nasri. Not a pretty challenge and he sees red."

Boogs and Misty's teams close their season's accounts in less than winning positions and Tipsy's Spurs make a last gasp lurch for ignomy with a  Double Calamity

BBC commentary:

"Downing was racing clean through on goal when he was tripped just outside the area by Kaboul, who was sent off by referee Phil Dowd" . . .
"Carroll's header at the far post went in off the head of Kane, who was immediately replaced by central defender Vlad Chiriches"

The Bear has a final Calamity with a Skyrtel OG but it's now all over.  Even if Apey's Arsenal avoid losing the FA Cup Final (surely not) and even if here's a video evidence ban for Lambert, Calamity Fotball is now confirmed as a Win for 'Snoopy' with his Southampton
