The race has been ruined by the race director.

Nonsense. Max was ordered to give the place back and then didn't. He got a time penalty because of the advantage he gained and didn't relinquish, and then gave the place back anyway but by then he'd already got the penalty.

Max was a disgrace today.

Imagine the reaction from our fans if it was Joe Hart that did what Nick Pope did today. Awful.

That would've been a lot of fun to read.

Final third has been a problem this aft but i think we're dominating the game.

I used to play in goal. I would not have gone down with a broken leg if the ball was still in play never mind a tap on the leg from Fred. The telling bit was how soon he recovered and no lasting problems. De Gea at fault for me.

You are a hero and should receive all the awards.

Speak for yourself. There wasn’t a foul to be raging about.

De Gea thought an arsenal player had stood on him the soft get.

"raging about". Lol. Who's raging about a foul? Who's raging at all? Are you ok?

PeterWilton

btw, no one should be blaming De Gea for that goal. Fred's studs get raked against his achilles and that fking hurts.

Re. Tavares the amount of feigning a head injury these days is pretty disgusting. There should be retro-active punishments for that ****. I think there should be for other injury feigning too but head injuries are the worst ones to feign because it endangers others when they have real injuries and ...

PeterWilton

lol. You'd all be raging against the ref and then against the opponents for not giving the goal back had that happened to us.

Terrible buffering on platform I subscribe to,changed to an illegal stream and the picture was perfect,how does that one work? :roll: I've never had a buffering problem with Amazon even on "Best" quality. Is your internet connection fast enough and stable enough for the quality setting you're using?

Semi-final on 24th or 25th March against an unseeded team at home. Then a final.

Stanbill05, the playoff will consist of just one game so to have a home tie is a real advantage.

Really? I was sure it was 3x semi-finals and 3x finals.

VAR is actually worse for the game IMO. Too many stoppages, can't celebrate and ridiculously close decisions.

The problem with wind power is it’s so variable in what it generates year to year. A friend of mine installed a proven 6kw wind turbine to power his house. His best year was 15,500 kw His worst was just under 7,000kw. Not sure how you plan a countries requirements with such a massive variation. One...

The Economist this week leads on the first big energy scare of the green era . I'd not subscribe, so only quoting from the introduction: "Since May the price of a basket of oil, coal and gas has soared by 95%. American petrol prices have hit $3 a gallon. Blackouts have engulfed China and India. Bri...

Natural gas is a fairly clean burning fossil fuel. This country should never have allowed its energy security to get in the mess its in. Some of us have been saying that about our energy security for decades, and now renewable prices are such as they are that the only thing keeping fossil fuels com...

PeterWilton

lol. Fracking.

What a dumb source of energy in 2021, but it keeps our rulers happy i suppose.

PeterWilton

I agree this confuses things. But the rules also say "A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched* by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by interfering with play by playing or touching a ball passed or touched by a team-mate". It makes ...

PeterWilton

I've been reading the relevant rules on the BBC live text. I think they are poorly worded, but I think if you read them literally, then it was actually offside. Mbappe received the ball from Hernandez's pass. The Garcia touch is irrelevant, because it was still Hernandez's pass that led to Mbappe r...

There was a touch off the defender.

I assumed he had to be onside from this because frame, but if the decision was made because Garcia (i've since learned his name

) made contact with the ball in trying to prevent it reaching Mbappe then that's a bullshit ruling or rule.

That's... weird. Wasn't the ball played forward to Mbappe unchallenged? I'll have to look at a replay again.

PeterWilton

I suspect when we see the VAR replay that Spain's #12's big toenail on his right foot was playing him onside.

PeterWilton

Hopefully whoever did it does it again.

poor decision by Pope potentially cost us the win but a miles better performance by us, the difference Cornet and Vydra make is remarkable

He was caught off balance for their first too which is why he had to try save it with his foot.

Not his best game.

PeterWilton

and if it was ruled out for offside but the review showed him onside we'd hear nothing from the "clear and obvious" lot. For clear and obvious reasons.

So not clear and obvious then

You understand that "clear and obvious" means AFTER review, right? Offside is literally measurable. It's objective. After review Wood was clearly offside.

It was clear and obvious once you look at the freeze-frame.

That's when the tremors caused by rising magma were first measured. Not when they started, nor when the volcano erupted.

Even if it was though it wouldn't matter because superstition is dumb.

This Rodriguez fella seems like a decent player young player. Hopefully he'll get more starts.

No, the scientists will have modelled all possible scenarios which would have included this one and if the land mass did just drop into the ocean in one go then the tsunami hitting the East Coast is a possibility. What I am saying is people took this and ignored the scientific findings on how likel...

PeterWilton

I disagree as the main flaw in the model that has been easily debunked was that the landslide would just drop in one go into the sea. We were well advanced enough scientifically at the time to understand the landslide would not act like this and therefore the model they created was a load of rubbis...

PeterWilton

The tsunami / US East Coast "theory" was debunked ages ago and shown to be not scientifically possible. But as the saying goes "A lie can travel around the world and back again while the truth is lacing up its boots." I hate this application of that phrase. The best scientific evidence suggested it...

Rashford shouldn't have had a plan to "beat the goalkeeper". He should have had a plan to "put the ball into the net". If he thought the point of the penalty shoot-out was to send the goalkeeper the wrong way, then he missed the point as badly as he missed the goal. It's possible for a plan to cont...

Taken this from elsewhere, so not my research. But apparently these are the teams England under Southgate have beaten in competitive matches - not very inspiring is it?

The criticism is that a professional footballer with the goal at his absolute mercy as somehow inexplicably failed to score, if you think it’s unfair that people are criticising that technique, again I don’t know what to say, I’ve seen better penalties dispatched in the Saturday Pendle charity leag...

Look it’s 50/50 which ever way the Italian keeper went, it’s a left & a right, if you are crediting rashford for having some sort of a success in a missed penalty because the keeper dived the wrong way (50% chance he would have done that anyway) & then failing to hit a gaping goal I don’t know what...

PeterWilton

Plan works = goal scored, Plan fails = goal missed. It’s extremely easy to understand I’m suggesting the difficulty is with you! Look. They guy criticised his run up as trying to act "cool", because he doesn't have a clue what he's on about. I pointed out the actual purpose of the run up was to hav...

PeterWilton

This is the thing for me …… The desire to apportion blame, the desire to criticise when perfection is missed. Bottler ….. failure …. sideline critics saying they’d do it differently from their sofa. Sometimes you come up short. Sometimes you make decisions which don’t work out. There can only be on...

PeterWilton

It’s no consolation or measure of success, ultimately I’ve failed, I’ve not achieved my objective. So? I never said his plan to score worked. I was responding to a pig-ignorant piece of criticism which was aimed at the part of the spot-kick which was intended to give Rashford everything he needed t...

Have none of you ever heard anyone say "the goalkeeper was beaten" when a player has shot at goal and narrowly missed? What kind of football fans have never heard that term before in that context?

PeterWilton

The plan didn’t work if the plan would have worked he would have scored, if I plan to rob a bank & the plan to get into vault works but I’m rumbled & leave the bank empty handed the plan as failed.

I heard that Donnarumma's won his last 5 penalty shootouts. Hear me out here but what if the reason England lost the penalty shootout is because Italy had a ******* man-beast in goal for it?

PeterWilton

The only one getting any blame should be Marcus Rashford. Why he decided to act “cool” and do whatever he did at the penally was embarrassing. 55 year wait for a final and he does that. Stop thinking you’re Mbappe and strike the ball. Gareth Southgate should stay, but I hope he’s on the phone to Ja...

If the ghost of Maradona had risen from hell and punched in 4 goals while England were 3-0 up, and it ended 4-3, some of you would still be trying to convince the rest of us that Southgate's failure to prepare for it means it's his fault.
