Awful refereeing, but also kinda awful attacking from both teams.

it's been quietly efficient on the whole, i guess i can tune out one more thing for TV people to talk shite about

still the Koreans were into the Swedish box before the ref stopped play, something ridiculous is bound to happen eventually

Let's review the review :-( xp

If they'd scored the goal would just have been cancelled, right? They got the ball and began the contra through illegal means.
― Frederik B, Monday, 18 June 2018 13:27 (five years ago) link
i'm sure that's what would happen but it would be clumsy and stupid, especially for people at the ground. it's not very likely so i'm not that exercised by it but aesthetically i'm still not totally into rewinding after that much play

itv commentators baffled by granqvist taking the oen revealing they've done less research for their job than ppl I know have done for fantasy football

well there's a surprise. they're only unpaid amateurs tho so you can't expect them to follow football with any seriousness.
― The Savic Detectives (Noodle Vague), Monday, 18 June 2018 13:32 (five years ago) link
I'd like to propose giving a 30kv stun taser to the ref, any dissent over decisions or smartmouthing and you get zapped. Saves all the fucking about with camera rooms in some secret bunker, and would add entertainment.

Granqvist 12 in a season in Holland, though I guess most people score 12 in a season in Holland at some point or other.

this wasn't lee seung-woo but kim shin-wook! BBC had wrongly matched names and numbers; clearly the subterfuge continues

there are about five Kims in the squad, but it's always amateur hour at the beeb.

this is the first game where I've bailed, I already have enough memories of L1 football to draw on without reliving the experience.

Well, yeah, but Scandinavian teams did pretty well in the 40's. Helped not having all young men killed in war.
