OT: Association Football

I thought it was fifty fifty. Which sucks when you're on the receiving end.

50/50?

Look at his body position. Arms pulled in. The ball grazed his elbow.
Referee originally called play on and the f**kwit in the VAR box had a look at it and told the ref to go and check the 26 inch screen on the sideline. Chris Beathe then changes his mind.
How in the f**k is this a penalty?
Thank f**k that clown Blackwood missed it and we had our first win in 2 months.
I know you'll argue for the sake of it, but fair dinkum Pou, the VAR has become a joke. They are only supposed to refer it back to the ref, or change the decision, if it is a "Clear and Obvious" error.
I've seen dozens of VAR reviews that haven't even done that, and then, they consider this one?
f**k me!

I reckon he moved his elbow down into the path of the ball, which is neither proven nor disproven by the still. The question then is whether or not it was intentional. I wasn't the only one who thought it might be a handball. The penalty was awarded after all.

 

[Twizzle]

well with VAR you have to play on so then it can be reviewed, and I thought under the new rule anything in contact with the arm in the box is a penalty whether they are playing at it or not

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Speaking of penalties, that was an exciting finish in Gosford. Not a euphemism.

Couple of late fouls in the box

 

[Twizzle]

good result tho

The Olyroos qualified for the Olympics last night.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

They've finally earned their name.

Not sure if I've ever seen it but do the Eels ever offer this?

Not that many will use it this weekend with the weather forecast the way it is.

Dunno. I suspect it wouldn't be cheap.

The Wanderers have been doing it for quite a few seasons now. I've caught the train from Parra to Central for derby's at Allianz for quite a few years now. It's a great idea. Train has always been packed but I suspect it won't be this weekend for the trip to Kogarah. (Smaller capacity and shite weather).
I like the fact there is an actual timetable. Very convenient for organizing travel to and from the game.

This D'Agostino merkin won't last long in the A-League I reckon.

Athletico Madrid played Liverpool overnight in Madrid.
This was the welcome the home team bus received on their way to the ground from the home supporters.
Lol.

 

[Twizzle]

well it worked cuz they won

The A-League is pushing on, despite the virus.

Half a dozen rounds to go. Fingers crossed this shit storm is over by then. Otherwise finals might be cancelled ? First past the post like EPL ? Just my thoughts.
