In the traditional sense of that rule it doesn't which confused me. However, it does appear that the rules for this particular tournament had this scenario under that definition from the beginning. So seems fair enough.

Weird VAR decision for Egypts ruled out goal. Maybe it was a foul. Maybe it wasn’t. Certainly not the kind of use of VAR I have seen before.

Got the ball first. Even if just a slight touch technically makes it not a penalty. They could have checked the technology in the ball to check for the touch too

One or two at most I would suspect if any which I always think is a little strange. I always struggle to understand why. Managers like Hayes are surely better coaches than some of the managers that get recycled round the EFL

Linekar speaks highly of her on hist Netflix show. Describes her leaving as one of the many mistakes leicester have made. Also spoke of a conversation he had with her pre Maresca being appointed where he suggested Emma Hayes and she said it was a great idea but the owners would not be ready for it. Fairly interesting

The majority do not prefer it of course. I have no doubt that a small percentage of people do and they always to me seem the most vocal

The fans on this forum or at least a very vocal minority are toxic and seem to genuinely enjoy criticizing everything and being negative. Foxes Talk has never represented the majority of fans who are much more level headed reasonable people in my experience. I read the forum from time to time but I rarely participate anymore due to the toxicity of a minority who I feel don’t let genuine debate take place with their absolutism (in a negative way) about everything.

Villa playing their reserves against spurs a few weeks ago are the one although I see why they did it…I seem to remember wolves getting in trouble for the same a couple of decades ago

I feel like the guy tried to pull on the shoulder and accidentally got some hair and then let go. Definitely a very weird red card for me that wasn’t deserved. Not even sure if it’s enough for a penalty. But it’s been given presumably as violent conduct which is ridiculous

I mean that goal was onside no matter how much I dislike Celtic. It was a shocking decision by the linesman to flag it off in the first place. The guy was 5 yards onside

The most they showed on tv were Hearts players being escorted by various police etc and pointing to marks on their bodies

Weird that how can the game just end like that? Not seen that in my whole time watching football

It shows how poor the teams around us are yet we still don’t seem to be able to currently compete with them. We are being saved (for now) by the form in the first few weeks of the season.

One thing I find truly baffling is that without the 6 point deduction we likely would have stayed up. I say it’s baffling because we’ve been so bad for so long that I don’t understand how with 6 pts deducted we are as close as we are to safety

And my point is that that’s the players not the manager.
