HaydnNUFC Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Iran's pen was a pen imo but you have to give us a pen for pretty much the same thing in the first half. No consistency. Good stuff regardless. Onto 'murica. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Am I alone in thinking as soon as you're grabbing shirt like that you are liable to give away a pen? Maguire should have had a pen certainly, VAR is not consistent and should be scrapped, but you can't expect anything different. We should not be conceding 2 against Iran either, obviously played well but too careless. Probably comes from lack of prep time mind. Will need to do better against teams that don't let in a load of goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR looked at the Maguire one as well, and decided it wasn't worth mentioning to the ref. Sorry but I don't believe anyone can look at that incident and think "Nah that's not worth looking at", let alone then the same people asking the ref to look at that nothing incident and actually giving a pen. Its absolutely corruption. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 You've got to ask yourself, does it make it easier for the penalty taker knowing they the keeper needs to dive that bit further to compensate for his small limbs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I love how serious the Iran penalty taker was. 6-1 down, 90+10 minutes on the clock. "Now it's my time to shine" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 The Iranian defending, particularly down their left side, was terrible, so it's difficult to draw any judgements. Bellingham has really arrived as an England player. That was the most encouraging sign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I can find is 2007, Smith and Owen (https://www.englandstats.com/matches.php?mid=859)...before that, 2004. Jenas and Woodgate. Well that Smith and Owen one didn't happen as Owen went off after 34 minutes and Smith came on after 73. Which match was the 2004 one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a stupid fucking idea and the game is no more consistently refereed than it was before The only problem I've got with VAR itself is the waiting to be sure its a goal. I can't blame the ability to see a video replay of a incident for bad decisions, with good decision makers that will always be better than not having it. It also removes the excuse of "I didn't see it", we know they saw it, we know they're cheating without a doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
