Top comment on that video: "I hate it when people start playing football during a vuvuzela concert."

a swarm of very crazy, angry bees, wasps and hornets: to adopt an earlier England manager's phrase, "do I not like buzzing..."

EDIT: Best football song: "Football's coming home, it's coming home" - even if the Germans sing it with more conviction than the England fans.

Can you tell me if it's a penalty if the player slips on the floor but his hand goes towards the ball, like in today's game - Argentina v Iceland first half?

"the distance between the opponent and the ball (unexpected ball)"

So can you tell me at what distance a referee should give a penalty?

Where is the definition in that, other than in the opinion of the referee?

Just because the definition includes "in the opinion of the officials", doesn't make it undefined.

Until they perfect mind-reading technology, there's always going to have some element of subjectivity in whether something is deliberate or not.

Edit - There is another Danish series on Netflix called The Rain. Haven't seen it yet though.

leave your foot in, wait for the player to make 'contact' then fall over.

cheating and if the refs can't see that even with the benefit of hindsight then i am watching the wrong game.

You're trolling now, right? You don't think that was a penalty? I'm not having it. You're kidding.

A definite penalty says an ex pro footballer.

We're never going to beat it.

Blatant penalty so much so VAR shouldn't have been needed. It was so obvious in real time. Terrible penalty miss.

yTib · Post by **yTib** » Sat Jun 16, 2018 5:56 pm

if ex pro footballers are an authority on football then all football fans don't know what they are watching.

btw does an ex pro who played for burnley have a better knowledge of football than stanley old boy?

does ronny rosenthal know more about fouls than me?

That's the problem though, even football fans have had their heads turned.

You only have to look on here with words like 'blatant' and 'stonewaller'.
