Other Games 18/19

[Ayatollah Hermione 13869]

Aye and that VAR can basically be cheated in your favour by simply going down as soon as you feel any contact and just let the slow-mo fool the refs for you.

[Howay 12496]

Aye, I don’t mind the idea of VAR but it’s current use and implementation is shite. As you both say it kills a good bit of the excitement of a goal, the camera immediately cuts to the ref with his finger in his ear. 

 

As AH says it looks worse in slow motion, Wilson outmuscled that defender who was trying to do the same to him from what I could tell. The Lingard offside against Holland was a load of shite as well, the front of his foot was past the right back but what’s the advantage really gained from that? I suppose that’s probably more an issue with the offside rule more than VAR but if you need minutes to view of something is offside it’s likely a harsh decision to give as an offside. 

 

Btw, a 3rd place game is pointless enough do we really need extra time for this?  just go to pens ffs.

Pickford jumping in front of Dier to take a pen is an absolute power move. He should have saved it for a proper tournament.

[Howay 12496]

VW remote controlled car delivering the ball to the centre circle, the game’s gone.

Was only 3-0 at half time

I appreciate that they’ve tried with the advertising but fuck me, it’s a load of shit, isn’t it? The amount of stray passes and shit touches is unreal. In fact, it’s almost like watching *Insert Shit Team Here* play!!

Watching the Copa America and the ref has just gave it the signs of the cross when walking out. I can understand players asking God to guide their shots into the top corner but asking for divine intervention when it comes to spotting clumsy tackles is a bit much.

As it is the Copa America he probably is just praying to stay alive in case he makes a mistake.

Just to confuse Donald Trump.

[Ayatollah Hermione 13869]

Phil Foden is absolutely class. He’s surely going to force his way into the Man City Team this season.

[Kevin Carr's Gloves 3894]

Are we allowed to say these women have the first touch of a rapist?

[Monkeys Fist 42458]

I’m sure plenty of people will be offended by that, but let’s be honest, you could’ve said they had the first touch of an Ameobi, so let’s be grateful for that.

[NJS 4386]

New rule where if the ball hits the ref it gets given back to the team who had it last. 

 

Fucking shite.

Like being back at school. The game is devolving.

Nice to see Scotland’s women can throw away a lead even better than the men.

[LooneyToony 41]

Started watching the Argentina vs. Paraguay game and Almiron is causing all kinds of problems for the white and sky-blue. That MF Otamendi got a yellow for trying to saw his ankles off.
