Seriously how the fuck old is Trezeguet now?

35, captain of River and still got it.

COME BACK BABY!

 

[Tc91]

I didn't mention that because it wasn't worth mentioning.

When I saw it I was screaming for a penalty. Could of been given.

 

[AndresON777]

Here's to you football GAF. See you around

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Who came up with the Juan thing anyway? He deserves an internet fist bump.

 

[Freewheelin']

Wilbz banned again? Dear oh dear, he is truly becoming a Footy-GAF celebrity

 

[Kyoufu]

Yeah it has been given before. By extremely awful referees who don't have a clue.

 

[Gareth Bale]

I saw the offside goal, I'll review the two reds. It's not just centred on that game, it's on refereeing in general.

Fair enough. There was stuff there that you kind of need to see for yourself though. Like Torres kicking Cleverley(?) in the chest. You may/may not have seen that as a red.

 

[LegoArmo]

Well I'm not complaining about the one decision.

The 3rd goal scored was offside. Do you have any excuse for that one?

I don't have an excuse, the standard of officiating in England is terrible. I thought that was the point we were making.

Educate you little brother

Ew what were Tottenham wearing today?

A slap would do, eh?

[Fintan]

It's disappointing to see 3 (?) games decided by bad offside calls in a single weekend.

If he gets banned any more, the mods might just say "feck it" and perma him.

 

[WJD]

Here's to you football GAF. See you around

Haven't you already tried this today?

 

[Arnie]

Chelsea dominate -> Ivanovic red -> Torres red for "dive" -> Rooney off for Chicha -> Hernandez offside goal.

Good win.

Cheers for this.

Can I just clarify, because I'm a man of upmost integrity, that like the Jack Wilshere comment I wasn't the one who came up with 'Juan Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest'. I don't know why it's been falsly attributed to me, perhaps because I called for it earlier today, or perhaps because me and Yurt are romantically engaged, but seriously I can't take the credit for that one.

Do you reckon offside decisions occur too often to be considered for future video tech?

 

[Clegg]

Sweet avatar, Yenrot.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Boca Juniors is playing like the pecho frío team they are. Getting outplayed by a second division team is shameless.

 

[qindarka]

Of course. It's not about that, though.
Leverkusen also won fair.

Then what are you complaining about. Both Chelsea and Leverkusen deserved their results by virtue of actually getting the result.

Ha, its a regular occurence in the FA and Carling Cups

Spoiler

Its still the Carling Cup to me, damn it

 

[Steverulez]

You have to mention the David Luiz handball. Imo maybe abit soft if it was given but I've seen referees point to the spot.

Im surprised it wasn't given and Luiz getting sent off.

Not bothered about Torres, Terry and Ivanovic out for League Cup. I'd expect this sort of team:

Turnbull
Azpili Cahill Luiz Bertrand
Romeu Oscar
Moses Mata Piazon
Sturridge.

RDM will want to win the league cup and I also think he will want to beat United after today (get some momentum back). We should play Cech but won't.

To be fair we were all over Catania, they didn't deserve anything out of that game.

The disallowed goal was their *only* shot on target. We had 19/9 ffs.

 

[Kyoufu]

Yeah it's very poor.

I realised the league is mostly exciting because of the bad decisions.

Sorry man but the stories about his hairless body are more interesting than his bans.

Can someone explain something in Lost, without spoiling it

S5, Episode 4/5

Spoiler

When Jin is rescued by Rousseau and that, they say its 1988, but their clothes are clearly from the 2000s.

Is this an oversight, or is it explained?

@Hixx, what did it say?

 

[elsk]

May as well focus only on my local team until Kroos retires from football.

 

[D_prOdigy]

[Arnie]

You have to mention the David Luiz handball. Imo maybe abit soft if it was given but I've seen referees point to the spot.

I saw that one and thought it wasn't a penalty. The ball was travelling too fast and Luiz was too close, and that's ignoring the fact that Luiz' hand wasn't in an abnormal position.

Anyway, it won't really be about the Chelsea game, nor about these subjective contests, but mostly focused on reinforcing the stonewallers, where there isn't a shadow of a doubt what the decision should be.

I think oversight, but it may be your nit-picking

You're on fire there. :lol :lol :lol

 

[qindarka]

Phew, I think I'm over this defeat now. Was seriously angry during the match and its immediate aftermath and may have been rather hostile.

It's explained by S5 being complete and utter shit. Truly the beginning of the end.

Surely Clattenburg is one of them after todays performance?

Of course. Should have given it for more lulz.

S3 was that. I gave up on that shit.

This is for you Andres.

Clattenburg doesn't want to get demoted to the Championship.

I loved Jacob (season 6 spoiler)

Spoiler

even with all the religious undertones, although the episode with him and MIB in season 6 was shit

Here's a gif of the Torres tackle on Cleverley for Arnie.

 

[Fintan]

Do you reckon offside decisions occur too often to be considered for future video tech?

I don't know how you'd implement video tech in relation to offside. I guess you could check every goal that's ruled offside to see whether it's actually offside, but what if it isn't called on an actually offside goal? Is it up to the other team to use a tennis style challenge or something like that? Or if an incorrect offside call stops a goalscoring chance, but not a goal?

I think it would be a really hard thing to get right. Maybe there are ways that human efforts to call offsides can be improved.

Or you know, something weird like the players wearing sensors or something equally high tech.

 

[Salvadora]

See you in a couple of hours :lol

You have a twitter?

Nope, but Wilbury's account isn't protected.

I'm enjoying it. It has a few too many stories going on at once, Kate's in it too much, and it seems like its full of twists for twists' sake, but I'm having fun

Helped of course by Sawyer still being the fourth sexiest bastard on the planet

 

[Broder Salsa]

Here's a gif of the Torres tackle of Cleverley for Arnie.

It's funny to think about how De Jong has never gotten a red card.

Edit : fuck I was wrong, he did once in some Uefa Cup match for HSV.

 

[Kyoufu]

Team captains should be allowed tennis style challenges on referee decisions. Offsides and penalties.

 

[Cindres]

Housemate needs Napoli to win tonight to net £380 from £2 on a 12 fold he had this weekend.

Rooting for it as he's taking us all for a drink if it comes in.

^Cavani is injured.

It's VERY VERY hard to get these calls right. They happen too fast and it's hard to keep up. I'm with using hawkeye (Tennis) for offside calls!
