The Footie Thread

[Arthur Wedge]

Well found one who thinks that the Tarkowski tackle wasn’t even a foul

Joey Barton

Maybe I should have highlighted the bit in your post I was questioning. You said the foot was high, I was just pointing out it needed to be at that height to get the ball. The excessive force was not being questioned.

Remember the keeper a couple of weeks ago ?
His boot was where the ball was but it took a piece of the strikers ear off.
Getting the ball isn’t what it used to be !

Title race is done but not good ahead of CL matches with Real - https://www.skysports.com/football/...id-games-after-being-ruled-out-for-the-season

Can we add 'number 10 role'. How often is anyone actually wearing the number 10 on the pitch, never mind the person actually playing that position? Does anyone below the age of 30 get the history of it, or of any of the 1-11 numbers?

Or a right back what’s one of them not TAA?

Amorim plays two No. 10's. Ironically, our official No. 10 is currently playing at Villa

I rest my case

Not everyones cup of tea when he was officiating but sad to see this https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crm3zzpyz43o

Joey Barton

What did he say? "I've hit the Mrs harder than that"

 

[Tashyboy]

having just seen the challenge, how he was not sent off is beyond me. He clearly followed trough and at one point he is clearly off there floor with both feet. So according to the laws. How is he in control.

Well, if he intended to follow through hard on the opponent, I guess he was fully in control

Sancho playing like he did at Utd

 

[Chip&Run]

4 minutes to decide if a player is offside is farcical.

 

[Chip&Run]

And another 4 minutes to confirm a blatant foul, when will this abysmal standard of refereeing stop?

Why anyone would sign people like him is beyond me.
Massive ego,poor work rate.

I felt they were taking their time to decide if it was a red card or not. Still took ages though.

More jessie lingard imo

Thing is with Sturridge he did Chelsea, City and Liverpool and prob a few more.
Sancho did City, Dortmund and Utd, Chelsea.
Lingard mugged off Utd.
Makes me wonder how desperate some clubs really are going after these players.

I thought it was a red. We've seen plenty given for less.

I didnt know VAR could reccomend a yellow card.

I think you currently have 11 x no.2's.

They certainly can't if that is the only thing being reviewed.

But, I guess if they call the ref over to review something else, the ref can decide if a yellow is also warranted. For example, ref gives a penalty and VAR calls him to review. Turns out striker blatantly dived. No penalty and yellow
