Michael W Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 That was highly entertaining, but a complete disgrace. Absolute heads gone from both the ref and the VAR. How the f**k did that only get 6mins of stoppage time? So much time wasted on nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Zabaleta seems broken by all of this. It's like that night Wogan quit Eurovision when he was seething about yet another pisspoor UK entry getting nul points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF I've only watched the odd international but I've never seen a player facing up to the ref. In one of the northern/southern internationals at the weekend, I saw a player about to stand up to the ref but he caught himself in time, obviously though better of it and walked off. If you're right about rugby players in general, then they're c***s, too. FIFA should make a point with the Iranians, some kind of team-level sanction. Some of the chasing after the ref was really aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Golden God Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 BBC Pundit's/commentators are terrible this year. Every single game is made worse by either Shearer, Lawrenson, Murphy or Keown talking utter shite. It's a penalty for Iran and it's a red for Ronaldo aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Lineker is completely right here. ETA: And then he goes and spoils it all by saying something stupid like 'I'm playing Devil's advocate'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have some faith in Magic Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I think I red that agresssive VAR demands by players was a new bookable offence. Either I am imagining it or the pundits didn't read up properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handling the ball Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with theball with the hand or arm. The following must be considered: •the movement of the hand towards the ball (not the ball towards the hand) •the distance between the opponent and the ball (unexpected ball) •the position of the hand does not necessarily mean that there is an offence The words unnatural position aren't used but the position of the hand is explicitly considered.

RedRob72 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Someone hasn't watched rugby in years because all modern ruby games have devolved into players claiming and play acting for penalties. Nonsense, the video Ref system in Rugby League works perfectly well. You don’t see ANY contention with the referee once his decision has been confirmed ‘upstairs’ or otherwise. ‘Play acting’ for penalties!!? HaHa, you’re watching the wrong game pal!
