Yet despite the UK having hundreds of other islands, they have the ignorance to call the UK Olympic representatives 'Team GB'.

ex-german exile Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 If that's a penalty then the game's fucked. Sell your boots, buy a broom and take up curling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Scotland are starting to come into the game a bit, that was pretty dreadful end product from Emslie though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 It's difficult this. I'm absurdly finding myself favouring the notion of just giving a foul if ball strikes arm. I don't think that's fair either, but it beats this current nonsense whereby the judgement has it that the defender has done something wrong, when she demonstrably hasn't. Preferable to either though, would allow for sense regarding intent to re-enter the equation, as has been the case for nearly all of footballing history. Most changes in recent decades have, to me, been positive, such as those regarding pass-backs and offside. The handball developments though, are a big problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetterlund Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I've hardly watched any women's football until this World Cup, but one thing that's evident is the total lack of players throwing themselves to the ground at the slightest hint of contact. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 That was a far clearer penalty. @Hedgecutter yes Team GB rips my knitting I would be fine with GBNI though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’ll be entirely up to each team - ie doing souvenir type match shirts for the girls - not a FIFA directive or anything. Some MNT’s do them, some don’t 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Just now, DAVIDB69 said: Thought that was more of a handball than the earlier one Shortly before that, the England RB clearly controlled the ball with her arm, played on, and England ended up attacking. All the officials missed it. If England had scored, how far back are they allowed to go with VAR to decide whether or not a goal should stand? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
