that could have been a pen
― Sufjan Grafton, Sunday, 29 June 2014 16:48 (nine years ago) link
i'm ok w/ that no-call, seemed incidental and hell he was taking on three defenders.
― Neanderthal, Sunday, 29 June 2014 16:48 (nine years ago) link
I'm pretty sure all these refs can recite the rule book backwards. But I guess the non black/white bit is if the player was playing the ball, made contact with the ball, wasn't acting maliciously and nobody got hurt, then maybe you can let it pass even though the rules were technically broken. I'm not disagreeing here, I totally believe if he'd blown the whistle it would be justified. But in the back of your mind of every ref is the shape of the overall game.

why have one penalty now when we can have loads of them later?
― john wahey (NickB), Sunday, 29 June 2014 16:49 (nine years ago) link
(which he might have just fucked up)
― Popture, Sunday, 29 June 2014 16:50 (nine years ago) link
lol at ass-to-head
― Neanderthal, Sunday, 29 June 2014 16:50 (nine years ago) link
forwards and defenders should wear electromagnet anklets that activate in the box. then we could do away with penalties forever
― Sufjan Grafton, Sunday, 29 June 2014 16:51 (nine years ago) link
aside from kicks to the face anyway
can see the Dutch grinding this out now
― clockpuncher (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 29 June 2014 16:52 (nine years ago) link
fair answer popture, I am somewhat 'in character'
but also, IMO refs that let it run, let it even out, etc merely penalise skill, attack, ambition of touch ahead of aggression, recklessness and cynical fouls.

lol Bale dissing Spurs on the BT advert
nv what pier is that bale advert filmed at?

re: high feet, degree of dangerousness is the issue i think and i can understand why some refs don't automatically consider the high foot dangerous, angles and velocity etc should factor in
― clockpuncher (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 29 June 2014 16:54 (nine years ago) link
Xpost to darr - Popture's more or less said it in his (great) posts. Plus it's more easy for us as tv viewers to get a clearcut picture (for ourselves) having slo-mo's from every angle available
― willem, Sunday, 29 June 2014 16:54 (nine years ago) link
iTV player a real piece of shit huh?
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Sunday, 29 June 2014 16:55 (nine years ago) link
Nick i didn't look properly, TV's behind me and i just glanced over when i heard him talking
― clockpuncher (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 29 June 2014 16:55 (nine years ago) link
looked a little like North Pier Blackpool at a glance but surely not
lots of nice green hills nearby, so i'm guessing it's somewhere low-key
― john wahey (NickB), Sunday, 29 June 2014 16:58 (nine years ago) link
Southsea maybe

Yes! That was hilarious. I used to play for Spurs, then I went to a good club. Zing!

yes!

w/ three people draped over em too
― Neanderthal, Sunday, 29 June 2014 17:10 (nine years ago) link
That felt like it was coming. Lingering question is whether the dutch can get out of the sluggish gear they are in and respond.
― Popture, Sunday, 29 June 2014 17:10 (nine years ago) link
nice, keeper questionable tho?
willem- nah tbh! but no agreement so no point arguing itt- come to ilx after we'll fight all night :)

gio has come a long way from the faintly terrified teenager looking lost in the north london drizzle, really great to see that
― ogmor, Sunday, 29 June 2014 17:13 (nine years ago) link
nice pointless shot
― Neanderthal, Sunday, 29 June 2014 17:14 (nine years ago) link
wasn't that going out anyway?

OMFG
woah save

idk ogmor I never thought gio was as bad as the narrative at whl, self serving harry media handling imo

Dutch fans just gotta be throwin their hands up at this point...but they are getting close. Mexico needs to tighten up or the next one's in
― Neanderthal, Sunday, 29 June 2014 17:19 (nine years ago) link
less a save than a coming together maybe, but still
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 29 June 2014 17:19 (nine years ago) link
right place at the right time really, I love the slow mo shot of his recognition and quick reflexes
