MattM4 0 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 So many amazingly idiotic cautions in this World Cup I have to say. Just now for the Tunisian bloke for tucking the ball in the net even though it was offside. The other day for the bloke who took a penalty too early ... the list goes on. Seems like the only new rule FIFA has told refs is "Whatever you do, don't use your brains". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathras 266 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 To be fair, that's what people are arguing FOR most of the time--to take the ambiguity out of the games. And when they do do that, they get lambasted for it being 'robotic refereeing' or being brainless. Time to decide what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 2 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I'm quite annoyed that for all FIFA's "clamping down" talk, I have yet to see a booking for diving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizza 105 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I've seen a least one freekick given after an attempted overhead kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7182 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 and what a dive that one was! the usa sendings off were laughable. And someone in one of the early games got a straight red for challenging someone in the box who brushed it off, shot and didnt even complain!

Fucking absurd decision. It was a good job Spain were already 2-0 up, imagine that costing you the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
