The Footie Thread

[PaulMdj]

And save 50 posts on the footie form as people see the rules differently

Understanding the laws and not liking them is fine.

Not knowing the laws or not understanding them is what causes confusion.

We all have issues and frustrations with the game, but that doesn’t mean the laws are wrong.

Not holding out too much hope tonight

I think your middle sentence hits the nail on the head. We are all football fans on this thread but the offside and handball rules are now so confusing.
As players of a game ( golf) where rules are so black and white. Football is a minefield

I take it you never visited the Rules Thread on here

I partly agree to the rest though mate, but sometimes on here the issues are caused by posters not accepting the laws when it’s been explained.

So as I said not liking a law is fully understandable.

If you lads think the refs are bad in the PL (which the are), you want to see some of the muppets in League One. Terrible on the whole but there are a few who literally give nothing and let the game flow, which is exactly what you want to see as a fan.

I would like to see far higher tolerances for fouls and reds across all levels. Just let the game flow and the players will soon stop their diving IMO.

Sometimes Neville just needs to shut up and listen to others

Says a lot when Keane is a voice of reason

Cote d'Ivoire has a lively talent playing up front for them....some bloke called Amad Diallo....been involved in everything....could be a good signing for someone this window.

"Ice Cold blood in his veins" the commentators have just described Diallo having, as he scores a very composed goal.

Been saying this ALL season. He needs to be played as a right winger/forward and not as a wing back. Potential to be one of the best players in the league if he can sort out his finishing.

Saka could have fun tonight

 

[BrianM]

Liverpool are terrible tonight so far, offering nothing offensively.

 

[Swango1980]

VVD getting all entitled again

 

[Arthur Wedge]

That doesn’t look nice on his ankle

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Arteta might as well put a kit on the amount of times he crosses the sideline

I think we all know the laws on offside!
But that dosnt mean we have to like or agree with them.

 

[clubchamp98]

Well that’s a foul anywhere else.!

 

[Arthur Wedge]

rhats an interesting challenge from Trossard

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Well that looks very similar if not the same “challenge”’that VAR got involved in in the Newcastle match

 

[Pin-seeker]

Surely there’s got to be a massive “talking point” to get us through the next few snow days
Foul throw

No Liverpool fans can continue moan about VAR for not getting the penalty

 

[Swango1980]

Martinelli is very unlikeable

 

[clubchamp98]

Frimpong couldn’t cross his legs.

We’re on top but just where’s the goal coming from.
