2 goals in under 30 mins and it's a white game?
What do you want extra, a free noshing or something to go with it?!?!

But seriously, I wonder if they all have to use the corporate footwear? Quite a lot of different boots in use today.

It's far too inconsistently applied for it to be deemed legitimate in my eyes.

I really don’t know how referees interpret the hand ball rule. First and foremost it’s got to be deliberate. I suppose you could include being a bit reckless in that, but the Croatian player seemed to be trying to actually move his arm away.

I don’t think Puma would be too happy to pay Antoine Griezmann to wear their boots for him to wear Nikes in the World Cup final

Come on, you can't criticise VAR --it is what the majority of fans want, it is such an aid to the game and is the future of football.
I wonder what Laws of The Game we adhere to these days because if a player his hand in the air, the experts say it is an unnatural position so it must be penalised, however, Perisic had jumped and his arm was naturally going down into a 'natural' position and it is deemed intentional handball.
How many penalties have there been in this World Cup?

Clear and obvious mistake - why would that take 5 refs in the VAR room and a ref watching 150 times ?

What a waste of time this VAR is. A free kick in a goal scoring position can’t be reviewed but a penalty (in a goal scoring position) can. Why?
The handball is an utter farce. I knew it would have been given because I’ve seen 2 identical decisions given in this World Cup. If referees have been told to punish any contact with ball and hand in the box with a penalty then they need to tell everybody and re-write the law.

The law needs changing so any handball is handball. The onus is then on the player to keep his arms tucked away. But FIFA love controversy so it won’t happen.

he definately handballed it, and i cannot see shearers point at all, also the free kick they were moaning about, said there wasnt even contact...are they nuts? france deservedly in front
Re: World Cup final

One thing I can say with 100% certainty. We wouldn't have been given that penalty! 
Re: World Cup final

We clearly need a VAR VAR system where any obvious cock up by the VAR referees can be replayed by a bank of 15 referees (all in uniform) using 28 different cameras.
Re: World Cup final
Posted: Sun Jul 15, 2018 5:00 pm
Absolutely not. We just need correct decsions. There's one thing a ref making mistake in real time and another thing when VAR results in a shambolic decision in a world cup final.piston broke wrote:The law needs changing so any handball is handball.

There's a big difference between the ball hitting the hand and handball.
