getting ball means no foul
it's a last-ditch sliding tackle man. You're obviously going to take a bit of the player ffs

extremely stupid penalty to give away

First one was defo a pen but also football is now a worse spectator sport than it was pre-VAR.Lol France.
― Blandford Forum, Saturday, 16 June 2018 11:19 (five years ago) link
Well maybe the lightest of touches on the leg.
Anyway, VAR is hilarious

He tripped him after the ball had got away, intent or not it's a foul

The most important thing is that VAR has cleared up any confusion

thats cool
penalty tho
also he didnt get enough ball to justify taking the back of the leg of a player clearly past him once he we out of the play
if you want to get detailed, like

The ones where you get a very faint touch but the trailing leg takes the guy out are tricky
My feeling is that it was borderline but Australia were entitled to get away with it, fuck VAR
― Dadjokke (Sgt. Biscuits), Saturday, 16 June 2018 11:22 (five years ago) link
Not having to complain about the commentary would be worse than VAR for the game.
― nashwan, Saturday, 16 June 2018 11:23 (five years ago) link
get enough ball
ah, so that's a rule now is it
― Number None, Saturday, 16 June 2018 11:23 (five years ago) link
as someone who punishes themselves by closely watching the A-League, I can confirm that VAR is the worst thing ever and also quite hilarious
(it wasn't that time, however)
― Cardigan B (King Boy Pato), Saturday, 16 June 2018 11:23 (five years ago) link
It's not about justifying, he seemed to touch the ball and then the player on the follow through.
But sure "I have seen them given"
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 16 June 2018 11:24 (five years ago) link
hilarious how youze biyiz go all PFM bytimes
xps to NN you want it subtle and a judgement call or you dont but either way thats a pen
― tired culché (darraghmac), Saturday, 16 June 2018 11:25 (five years ago) link
iirc there is nothing in the rules abt getting the ball
― ogmor, Saturday, 16 June 2018 11:25 (five years ago) link
God its great to see ye all either way tho folks
"getting ball means no foul" is definitely not a rule fwiw
― Dadjokke (Sgt. Biscuits), Saturday, 16 June 2018 11:25 (five years ago) link
although doesn't the world cup have it's own rules? idk
This is a fast moving one huh, xposts
― Dadjokke (Sgt. Biscuits), Saturday, 16 June 2018 11:26 (five years ago) link
the rules are all about attempting to win the ball and whether, in the opinion (not certainty) of the official the player made excessive contact, tripped the opponent, etc
nothing about ball first, nothing about intent, all that shite
― tired culché (darraghmac), Saturday, 16 June 2018 11:27 (five years ago) link
Just wanna mock the introduction of Giroud in the hope that it provokes a French goal anyway

be a good late-night ancillary program to have lawro sat down and read the actual rules of the game the cunt is 💯 wrong so far in all utterances
― tired culché (darraghmac), Saturday, 16 June 2018 11:32 (five years ago) link
the three foul considerations are whether a player uses "excessive force" is "careless" or "reckless"
fair enough you could put this incident under the latter two but it's bullshit man, it's bullshit
― Number None, Saturday, 16 June 2018 11:32 (five years ago) link
Ah ok I thought getting the ball first meant something...but still its too light..
