1) We played like crap - Right, and what did the other team do? They showed up, sat down on the pitch and watched you score into your own net?

2) The pitch was uneven - Right and which pitch was the other team playing on?

3) The ref was crap - Did you feel the same way when he awarded decisions in your favour?

4) Our players are jet-lagged - In those days, players used to play with hangovers.

The goal that was disallowed was on side!!!

"I didn't see it." Made famous by a certain French manager.

I thought we were the best team(after lose) - by a certain Portuguese manager

"i was only protecting my face"

after being sent off eh?

I added the word, "debunked" in so we can explain why we thing it's an excuse and not a reason larrr...

We played them off the pitch and still lost - Well evidently you didn't play them on the pitch then.

The media would be happy if he get banned for several matches - a certain Scottish manager..


Why Excuse: Why would media be happy when they get nothing beneficial out of it...

Lady luck did not smile at us - debunked - because she smiled at the other side.

Seriously, luck plays a great deal in football - but the old saying is true that you need to have the needed quality to be lucky

A deflected goal/ own goals eh? yea..Luck plays a great part in winning trophies

ADD:

-[at the end of the season], 'They' spent more than us! Of course they got quality.

Players and managers have to show up and make a team out of the millionaire players as well so it's not all about the money.

-[during the course of the season], I don't think it's right that managers spend that much on a player.

- The best has yet to come from us.

"The best team did not win" -

Source?

Anyway, S= Sir, so wats with the Sir Sir Alex Ferguson?

"This is our year!!!"

404?

A certain manager after being hammered 3 goals to nil!!!

Debunk - Clearly the fella is deluded. How can you come up with such bs after a pounding like that. I guess the other team was just lucky then.


Debunk - Haha, seriously. Is his team the first team to play on that ground.


Debunk - *Cough, Cough* Umm... The last time I checked football games are played in the present, not in the future.


Debunk - This is officially the worst excuse in history of football



Debunk -

Is either problem reading or problem understanding...

Never know people use this as excuse after losing...

I only know people use this as an excuse after winning...

Just a joke. no source. haha.

Anyway, most manager just say, "I can see the team progress (although lost 5-0). We've made intolerable mistakes and played well for the first 45 mins (already 3-0 down, saying that just cause their team finally made a shot), refs made some big mistakes (awarding a penalty when 4-0) and I suggest he sees the replay again. But anywa spirits are high (when the captain got sent off) and we will pick ourselves up and we understand the fans' frustration (got booed off the field). We will try and get a result againts our next opponents (Manchester United)"
