Diamonds are Forever Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Two former top level professionals saying that is a penalty. Just shows no matter whether you use VAR or any other method you are on a hiding to nothing because so many people are completely ignorant of the laws of the game. Imagine being that thick that you think the defender has deliberately headed the ball against his arm in the penalty box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conclusive proof (as if it were ever needed) that Maradona really is a fucking mess . It would be an act of kindness if he were put out of his misery. Gazza's a cartoon character compared to him, and I've no time for Gazza's behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 'News of a Croatia goal now filters round the ground' Aye, 3 minutes prior when the Argentinians were jumping about in a massive celebratory second wave. I turned it over to see the goal purely based on crowd reaction ffs. [emoji38]I said that very thing to my missus. Am I right in thinking once Argentina scored... an Iceland winner would've knocked them out? The BBC seemed to right off Iceland entirely, and then seemed so slow to point out that Croatia had scored. The game was on another BBC channel for f**k sake. No excuse.

Have some faith in Magic Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Yep. The commentator even said early on that Iceland needed to won by a barrowload. It was as if they had no clue what was going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peppino Impastato Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Tbf maradona is a crazed ex or maybe not ex drug addict alcoholic who was probably pissed as a fart and completely off his tits and had been getting shit all game. I say legend. He's what Gary lineker doesn't have the balls to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lineker is kind of right. He was a contemporary of Maradona's. He was on the field when Maradona scored the greatest World Cup goal ever - and yes, the second one was decent too. He visited him for a documentary where they discussed the game at length in Spanish. I think Lineker probably does feel some genuine sadness at seeing such undignified, unbecoming conduct. None of this of course alters the fact that tonight's outrage represented a truly magnificent moment, easily the funniest of this World Cup. A talking head moment to go down in World Cup history.

Just shows no matter whether you use VAR or any other method you are on a hiding to nothing because so many people are completely ignorant of the laws of the game. Imagine being that thick that you think the defender has deliberately headed the ball against his arm in the penalty box. This. Even when Gary Lineker rightly called them out on their BS by going over the laws of the game (I'm shocked and stunned at myself to be even considering Lineker to be the voice of reason here) those two chumpnuggets were stilling giving it large about how 'it should be a penalty as it was the defender's mistake' and 'I've seen them given numerous times'. It was quite clearly never a penalty and good on the referee very quickly ruling against after watching the footage again. Not that it ever should have got to that stage. Thought the ref was really good, although Cuneyt Ceykir is usually one of the better refs I've seen. A possible shout for taking charge of the final I would have thought.

So Diego goes all Mr Rogers on us and Gary and Rio are giving it the 'think of the children' big licks. While Diego at times really is beginning to look like a parody of himself, on this occasion he is doing what any Joe Public football fan would, possibly, be doing after his team had scored a winning goal. I'm pretty sure I was giving a very similar pair of gestures in the direction of Davie Provan when Clyde were beating Celtic many moons ago On the plus side, Diego has given us gif ammunition for a fair few threads going forward....
