I don't think it's biased treatment. I just think it's just a fact that linesmen and refs simply don't know how to deal with someone as tall as Crouch on the pitch. If you tower above someone, and you stand beside them and contest for the ball, 9 times out of 10 it will look like you've foulded the smaller guy, or obstructed him due to your size. I don't think it's a bias. Well, I'd like to think not.

In the World Cup, you can punch a ball into the net to score a goal.


But if you are really tall and English, you are fooked.

Difference is its not only the rest of the world that hates the english team doing well, its the english also.

Well the booing of Crouch by England fans was the last straw for me.

After that the England national team became a non-factor.

It's just a typical case of short-man syndrome. Like crazy little American-Italians they get all grumpy because Crouchy is a beast. "whats-a-matta-you for beinga so-a tall, aye? Forgettt about ittttt"

He can't help having flailing arms and giraffe legs. So he's a little retarded and uncoordinated. Can't punish him for holding onto some hair. Remember, he's a tall  man. If he falls, it's a long way down!

[Ciggy]

So he's a little retarded.

Retarded So if someones over 6 foot they are slightly retarded?

Tripe. Small man's syndrom? I take it that would account for 99% of men as far as Crouch is concerened, so that's bollox.

I said HE'S slightly retarded.

I didn't say everybody over 6ft is retarded.

If you're reading it that way then perhaps YOU'RE retarded.

Small man syndrome is also known as tall poppy syndrome. When a man/woman is to tall, those who are inferior like to...take them down. Also, note the below.

If you didn't understand what I'm trying to say, let me explain.

It is said that small men who carry excessive Y chromosomes are said to be aggressive due to their small size.

They then join positions of power so they can prove/show their strength through other means.

Eg. Refs and umps.

M'kay?

So according to this "theory", all refs and officials are small men?! Well, that's conclusive stuff there. Case closed! 

By the way, it's not a good idea to just have signed up here and start calling long term members like Ciggy "retarded". You don't get many kudos for that around here.

[burjennio]

Wow, did you just call Crouchie retarted? Couple that with his excessive height and he's really beat the odds  hasn't he? , Are you privy to his mental records? FWIW I bet his birds way cuter than you  and his bank balance ain't to shabby either, it's a golden age for the retard then

[dollface]

I'm not exactly here for kudos.

And I didn't say all short umpires and refs have short man syndrome or ARE smell men. Just that excessive Y chromosome coupled with angst of tall poppies = case against crouch. If you didn't get the joke, perhaps an investment in a sense of humor is in need. There's one thing to be passionate about football but there's another to be passionate to being a PC .

And retarded doesn't just mean mentally ill. Please see following: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=retarded

Of course his bird is cuter than me. She's a model. She's the daughter of Tom Clancy (one of the most successful and richest authors in the world) and she's super rich.

Who am I? Just a LFC fan. Can't have much claim to fame there!

Wow you pointed out that Britain's top 5 most sexiest woman (as voted by Zoo, Nuts and FHM) is cuter than me. You're a keeper!

Aye, mate, yer jokes are class!

Wind yer neck in a bit love, tryin to make yer fellow posters look stupid on your first day is a good way to meet the mod squad

[dollface]

Oh sorry I wasn't born for stand-up or comedy festivals. Simply laughing at the fact of how out-of-hand the ump vs crouch situation is getting.

But I guess if you get your kicks out of picking flaws in peoples posts, then good for you. All the best of luck with that. Clearly you must just have a misunderstanding with the way I speak.
