If Palace want £30m for Townsend we won't be letting Ritchie go.

Kenedy inbound then. Hopefully another too.

He's missed two point blank chances, hardly matters who the opposition is as that point. I’d rather have Joselu and Gayle missing zero chances every match because they’re never in the right place.

Matic has been rubbish tonight.

I think it's more that we refuse to get involved in bidding wars. We only go for players other clubs don't want.

No leaning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk He's basically doing the exact same as that Nigerian bloke behind him is doing Fair point; so what does the ref do? Benefit to the defender or the attacker? Or do they cancel each other out? Genuine question.

I’m loving the drama it brings tbh. As i’ve Said before, as a Newcastle fan I personally think we would have benefited from it previously

Much better game than the France game earlier, but it’s been a bit of a shit day compared to every day so far

Predicting that Argentina v France will be football aids.

Look at his left hand. Watch it on video too. He’s gripping him. I've watched it time and again, how do you think I formed my opinion on it? Agree to disagree then. If you can’t see a hold there fair enough.

Messi though.

Maradona flipping the bird at the Nigerian bench.

Hence why I said in my opinion it’s not a penalty but the written laws say it is. Jesus I give up.

I’d rather we face Argentina than Nigeria tbh. They’ve been awful.

Is the debate about the decision being right or the law being right?

Gonna see if my wife lets me get away with that non-holding of other girls at the weekend like.

It's a contact sport, man. It's about restriction, not contact. Mascherano wasn't restricting anyone with that contact, therefore it's not a penalty. Ffs, I said by the written laws. I showed you the written law says holding. I post a photo of him holding. On my opinion it shouldn’t be a penalty otherwise there would be 20 a game, but the laws (and now var is sticking to those laws) say it is. He's not holding him. Wow, he looks to be both on video and the photo, but i’ll bow to your superior knowledge given you have extra sensory tv. No arguing with some people is there.

Why? It was worth reviewing, right decision comes from it.

You lot need to watch it back. He’s gripping his side and his arm, not stopping him leaning back.

What are you doing with both hands holding onto a player if not holding? Stopping him from falling and hurting himself?

By the written laws of course it’s a penalty. If someone was holding Messi like that you’d all want him shot. Show me that written law please. And no, I wouldn't. Neither of which happened. So he had one hand holding his side and the other hand holding his right arm, you don’t class as holding? He was doing neither of those things, man. Is it possible to upload photos from mobile devices to here? Areet grandad Ha. You know what I mean though. Just can’t be arsed to upload it to a hosting site first ;-)

Him throwing himself to the ground is technically nothing to do with it. He was being held with both hands. It’s shit but it’s the laws of the game.
