That type of shithousing just leads to the referees adding ridiculous amounts of stoppage time on - all to delay a goal kick by about ten seconds. The club need to pack it in. Load of shite. Your patter that is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also missed the "ball going towards goal" thing with Miley. Think there's a chance he made the call to not embarrass his mate who made an error at VAR, which is obviously still fucked up.

gbandit Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Agree with BrownBottle. 8 minutes was absurd and a disgrace from the officials but we really don’t need to be trying to eke out an extra five seconds on every single goal kick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just about "pinching" another few seconds. It's all about trying to disrupt the opposition whilst they are in the ascendancy. And believe me, they were battering us for the last 15/20 minutes. All teams do it, stop having a go at Pope (who was excellent by the way). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 The point about Livramento’s arm not being in a natural position is bollocks like. Look at this picture and just how many players arms are in the same position. The PSG number 9’s arm is exactly the same FFS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not convinced it was a handball either - but proximity to the ball plays a role in where a player’s hands are. You’re not likely to worry about handball if you’re ten yards away - you’ve got plenty of time to move your arms away from the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Our goal kicks are hardly any worse than other teams when they are leading. But apparently we invented time wasting and the dark arts last season. So we seem to be under heavy scrutiny from refs and opposing teams alike. A few seconds longer than a usual GK here and there does not mean we should have had 8 mins stoppage time. There is no justifying where they plucked that from. 4-5 minutes at most.

Sprinting meaning your legs and ARMS are pumping. Basically his arms were in a normal position for that scenario. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

janpawel Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 2 hours ago, Skeletor said: Every single Pundit, Talksport, average fan of other teams. Everyone can see it wasn't a penalty. There is no way "the best referee in the world" looked at those replays and genuinely made a mistake. It's not possible, it was so clear cut that it wasn't a penalty. The Qataris paid the referees off because they can't stand to be embarrassed by Saudis. They already have history for bribing football officials. Yeah I hate to go along with the conspiracy stuff, but even the fact VAR is only supposed to intervene when a mistake had been made, not re-ref every decision... I think it's even more clear in slow motion that it isn't a pen. You could understand if he had a poor view and awarded the pen (which he correctly didn't) But how on earth he ended up changing it... I thought other than that he reffed the game well, and remember in the world cup final he was great.. This just stands out so much to he incompetence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
