No Irish, No Yanks, No Clogs - FIFA World Cup 2018

He got a bit of the ball first, and he touched him on the follow through..?

XP lol

lmao

That was also a pen

COP THAT YOU FRENCH FLOGS

Forever a pen.

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.

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

5Live commentary on red button ftw

VAR'S been excellent so far, love it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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

Not having to complain about the commentary would be worse than VAR for the game.

get enough ball

ah, so that's a rule now is it

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)

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"

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

iirc there is nothing in the rules abt getting the ball

God its great to see ye all either way tho folks

"getting ball means no foul" is definitely not a rule fwiw

although doesn't the world cup have it's own rules? idk

This is a fast moving one huh, xposts

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

Just wanna mock the introduction of Giroud in the hope that it provokes a French goal anyway

complex emotions

Curly French defender my first hated player of World Cup

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

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

Ah ok I thought getting the ball first meant something...but still its too light..

xp ok

is it

and i ask a sensitive panel im aware

is it in anyway dodge of me to hope that tilisso's first name is sunday

Goal line technology too!

not sure nn is correct in limiting those categories im p sure that tripping an opponent is a foul

which this was clearly

goal

VAR and goal line technology is bad

bugger this, I'm going to watch the crick-- ah, fuck sport

yes those are the subcategories of "trips or attempts to trip an opponent"

sorry that the rules caught up on the chancers

when it happens in the compromise rules ill start watching it again

'Seven Nation Army' STILL after goals btw...jesus

ikr?

Would even rather have "We Will Rock You"

Change the rules I don't like them

keep it on the UK politics thread now

Although Pussy Galore's "Fuck You, Man" ftw

pretty apropos considering that goal was all about a white stripe

Each country should be able to choose their own music after they score.

How can we WWE this more.

never a yellow
