Sergio Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 The commentators on BT Sport - Defoe's goal yesterday, they were still saying it was a great goal even after watching the replay 3 times and seeing it deflect in off the defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

newsted Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Pie-munching commentators squealing "He should have scored there!" Fuck off, man, you were the last pick at school, nobody likes you, go home. You couldn't score in a brothel. I've got a list here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Short corners, they usually amount to nothing and just end up in midfield limbo. You have your big defenders coming up to attack it and instead they go wasted. Now those same defenders have to run all the way back wasting energy. Spurs were guilty of this today. When they did take a corner, they almost scored. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Normal corners are horribly low percentage anyway. Might as well just leave the CBs behind and play it short and back into play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember the percentages, but I think someone put them up on here 2-3 years ago? It sas during our run of not scoring from a corner in about 3 years, I think? It is always funny how fans go absolutely mental and get all pumped for a corner. Only to see the keeper easily claim it or the ball fail to beat the first man.

steve_69 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 What does annoy me is commentators or managers saying that ref's are 'spoiling entertainment or the occasion' when they send a player off. If he deservers to be sent off, he deserves to be sent off, nothing to do with spoiling a spectacle, it's called correct officiating. Not necessarily. That rule where the last defender is always sent off and a penalty given regardless of the severity of the foul is utter bullshit. According to Mike Riley the refs can use their own discretion in those situations but none of them do, they can't wait to whip out the red and it ruins games. It's the same when 2 players are involved in a bit of pushing and shoving. No one got hurt, it didn't negatively impact the game so just give them a bollocking and get on with it. IMO they should be doing everything they can to keep 22 players on the pitch and red cards should be reserved for seriously dangerous tackles. I think it would help if some of them had actually played the game at a reasonable level before becoming refs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Well, they can use their judgement to assess if it was a clear goalscoring opportunity. But if they think it was, they have to give a red don't they? FWIW I think the whinging about officials is way out of proportion with how good they are in general.

Kaizero Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 When commentators/people go "Should be a goal up by now" when referring to a massive chance that a keeper saved. No. You shouldn't be a goal up by now. The keeper fucking did a marvelous save. This does not apply when referring to chances that a player put outside the goal or hits the post or bad play shit like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fwiw it's a lot easier to reform youth soccer than it is youth football. Oh I can imagine. But I read that like 3-4 high school players died this year playing football? How many more got serious injuries, or are going to have long term problems with their noggin? But. Heading a football is bad for you? Head it with your forehead and you'll be fine. It's not like the olds days where you're heading a cannon ball, that gets lumped up in the air every 10 seconds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't they play with size 3 and 4, up until a certain age? Not like a proper match ball either, is it? I might be wrong. It's been a long time since I played youth football!

Guest firetotheworks Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 A football pet hate of mine when I was a kid was having to use size 4, rock hard Mitre tactics actually.

Lush Vlad Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Depends really. I'm sure some coaches are just mongs and pump the balls up too much. Or buy cheap shit. I remember training for the old gaffer about 5-6 years back. In the winter, the shitty Sports Direct balls used to have a bout 80 PSI in them and would nearly break your foot when you kicked them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 All this concussion business is pissing me off. We all know sports can be dangerous, but that's the risk you take when you go out there and play. Will Smith is in some movie about it, and it's irritating. They really need to stop all this pussyfying in sports. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 People shouldn't need to risk death when just taking a bit of extra care over head injuries stops this. Agree over this banning headers stuff being daft but concussion was a killer in american footy and it was tragic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
