Popular Post Tanya 680 Posted 27 October 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted 27 October 2019 1 hour ago, The Year Of The Fox said: Total non event isn’t it I wish people would stop trying to pretend otherwise too I much prefer men's football but the women's world cup was a lot of fun and anything that encourages young girls to love this game is a good thing. At the moment only a few teams play with real skill and pace but hopefully when the game grows this will change. So, yeah, don't like the game, that's fine but to belittle it is just...ew. On topic, if I were a Saints fan I would be more offended if I thought LCFC took their foot off the gas. This celebration argument when discussing two fully professional teams in the same division is very daft. 10 Link to post Share on other sites

The question wouldn't even be asked if the likes of Man City and Liverpool had done it; They'd be drooling out their mouths and down below, over every goal. 8 Link to post Share on other sites

If Spurs had done it with Kane getting a hat trick, the media would never let us hear the end of it. Link to post Share on other sites

Koke 7,645 Posted 27 October 2019 Report Share Posted 27 October 2019 Theres a bloke on Sunday Supplement who called the Bertrand red an "appalling" decision by the ref. Weird. I get if you think it was "harsh" or "unlucky" but to call it appalling is bizarre. It looked worse on slow motion, true, but it was still a dangerous tackle. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

They have a concept called "running up the score" which is essentially piling on the points / goals when the game is already a "blow out." It's considered a faux pas. Personally think going in to cruise mode to patronise the opponent is actually a lot more disrespectful but hey ho the yanks are weird. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Not being entirely serious but they should probably ban all media discussion of VAR incidents, apart from anything else it's boring having to listen to them at the expense of discussing the actual football being played. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Just trying to be edgy and different a la Adrian Durham. Literally every single fan and former professional has called it a blatant red. One of the least controversial of the season. Nobody argued.

The guy who tried to say it wasn't red because there was no force in the tackle, unbelievable. That's tackle on another day with a element of bad luck is a leg breaker. If it had been on Kane or Sterling they would be saying something totally different. Edited 27 October 2019 by coolhandfox Link to post Share on other sites

The US is funny like that - since they're so competitive/exploitative socially, they feel the need for extra fairness and balance in sport - especially team sport.

Discount everything this guys says VAR and the ref both got this absolutely right imo. The ref obviously saw the tackle as he was close by but was watching the move unfold and correctly played advantage as we finished the move with a goal. VAR intervened, as they should where a possible straight red offence has occurred and decided that it was clear and obvious, which the ref then agreed with on viewing the screen. i also think that this is the way it should be done by showing the incident on the screen in this way everyone in the ground can see exactly what is being discussed between the ref and VAR officials. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Cardiff_Fox 6,325 Posted 27 October 2019 Author Report Share Posted 27 October 2019 Said earlier this week. The Ev are simply jealous. We are everything they wanted to be. They’ve improved in my lifetime. Seemed to constantly flirt with relegation growing up as a kid. In the same way Spurs were mediocre as well 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Cardiff_Fox 6,325 Posted 27 October 2019 Author Report Share Posted 27 October 2019 I think the biggest slice of irony is the poster who says the following (or paraphrased). ‘We have this every year. Someone banging on about a club being better than us and being the best of the rest. This year it’s Leicester. Last year it was Wolves. Before that it was Watford’ Thats the ****ing point mate. It’s not Everton challenging. It’s Everton being mediocre again and another club surpassing them 1 Link to post Share on other sites
