The Footie Thread

[clubchamp98]

In summary. Rosenior is a complete fraud. I swear. Emperor's clothes. Cucurella should have his hair pulled EVERY match. Palmer really isn't all that and probably deserves his barnet to be pulled too as it's shocking.



I could get a job as a pundit...

Or a hair critic.

No one deserved to win there, not much good football.
But a win is a win.

Slots subs still baffle me.

Have just seen the Liverpool winner. I have said it before, if defenders tried to win the ball instead of trying to physically stop the attacker, these type of goals might not be conceded. What was the Everton player doing holding on to Pickfords shirt

Yeah not much quality on show.
Everton looked more up for it.
Wirtz offers nothing.

Totally agree It was Everton players blocking Pickford from coming for the ball and van dyke didn’t need to jump to get his head on it! Awful defending in the circumstances.

That was very strange... Noticed it also.. Had a fistful of pickfords top and when you ain't that big in the first place you've no chance.

Donnarumma needs to give up the fight & shave his head.

Donnarumma needs to give up the fight & shave his head.

Or ask Palmer where he gets his rug from.

 

[Billysboots]

How has Gabriel not got a red there?

 

[Swango1980]

Hmmm.

A player touches an opponents hair bobble, red card for violent conduct

Another thrusts his head into an opponent, just a yellow card for handbags.

The laws of the game are weird

Just had exactly the same conversation with my lad.

Antony Taylor bottled that

Just a bit.

I think he needs written permission from Amanda for that

And VAR. Taylor might have missed the forward movement of head. VAR wouldnt have

Just noticed that the above was my 10,000th post on this forum. Somewhat worrying that the subject matter was Cole Palmer’s barnet rather than something profound.

If that is not the perfect time for VAR to get involved I don’t know what is?
I can only presume the ref has not seen it properly (which I can understand) so let him have a look at the telly.
Head butting yellow card
Pull hair red card.
Make it make sense!

 

[Swango1980]

Gabriel would also have had a 3 game ban, which could have been huge in the run in.

Watch Gabriel score now

 

[Billysboots]

Wow. How has Havertz missed that?

Seriously? He was already head to head and lent in to him, there’s no way that is a headbutt.

The players running and diving in was way more of a red card imo.
