[Lambda Pie]

I wasn't salty, YOU were blind. You completely FootballFan'd a whole post. CREDIT WHERE IT'S DUE

 

[Zabojnik]

Are Juve shopping Vidal? Didn't he just extend with them....like...this season?

And what's the real deal with Pogba? They want to unload him too? For whom? How broke are they?

We don't NEED to sell either. But if someone is crazy enough to offer 60M€+ for Pogba, we'll obviously think about it. Vidal isn't going anywhere, imo.

Juve can't even reach an EL final, who the hell wants to stay there?

It's not that we can't. We don't want to. Why make it to the final if you already know you're gonna lose it? You of all people should understand this.

Spoiler

Lol, you Benfica cunt. <3 You're getting fucking destroyed on Thursday.

Spoiler

Maybe.

even Zabo is missing in action. Did anyone see him? Did he flee the country?

Watching Roma - Milan nearly killed me. Milan were literally walking and not giving a shit. Shameful performance.

Besides, I've got better things to do. DARKUUUU SOULSUUUUU TWUUUUU. Prepare to be flooded with Hitchers questions!

yes, credit to Benfica for presenting an ode to football. Juve were nice guests, though.

 

[bjaelke]

Suso scoring directly from a free kick

 

[Broder Salsa]

forget about the title

the spotlight is on Wooden and his Liverpool dad today. :lol

I'm moving for the Cunt right now. The least I could get in return is Chelsea victory.

Conte "We know it's not easy, as Sassuolo are fighting for safety, so we'll need to be very wary, but go there to achieve our primary objective, which I repeat is the Scudetto"

"which I repeat is the Scudetto"

"which I repeat is the Scudetto"

...can we sack him now and get Pepe Mel?

btw I've been tweeting the wrong Zabo for days on twitter :lol :lol apparently there's an extra K in your twitter handle?! *dead*

Juve were nice guests, though.

alright we'll take that. #Moralwinners

 

[Wilbur]

Still surprises me that Medel is at Cardiff

LOOOOOL.

 

[bjaelke]

Those free kicks from Sunderland

Suso's goal:

[Wilbur]

Very good refereeing from Dowd there.

 

[bjaelke]

Red and pen

 

[PowderedToast]

Oh my god

 

[3Sixty]

Wrong decision from Dowd.

 

[CecilRousso]

Wut? What happened? Penalty?

Edit: Penalty for that pull on the arm? I would have been furious if I was a Cardiff supporter.

 

[Lambda Pie]

Cardiff imploding.

 

[Wilbur]

Wrong decision from Dowd.

Really? He's properly tugging at him, Wickham would have got a shot off much earlier

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Should be red and free kick


Boss pen

 

[3Sixty]

Not a pen. Not a red.

Outrageous.

 

[PowderedToast]

borini is fucking fit

 

[LTWheels]

We should just keep Borini as a sub for penalty shootouts.

 

[Moobabe]

Outside the box - that's a really poor decision.

 

[Wilbur]

Oh it's outside the box. Yeah, shouldn't be a pen. I do think the red is correct though.

 

[Messi]

Really? He's properly tugging at him, Wickham would have got a shot off much earlier

Tug was outside the box

 

[3Sixty]

Outside the box.

Didn't deny a goalscoring opportunity.

Yellow and free kick.

Poor cardiff.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Suso's goal:

https://vine.co/v/Mvnmz5PwQMh

Wow, he got that up and down quickly

Didn't know he took set pieces

 

[Lakitu]

Feel sorry for Cala

 

[CecilRousso]

Outside the box - that's a really poor decision.

There is some strange rule about it being a penalty if the situation starts outside the box but continues into it. Palace have gotten two such penalties against us this season.

 

[Wes]

That's Cardiff down.

Sunderland are going to stay up. I'm telling you all, It's Villa, Norwich and Cardiff for the drop.

 

[WJD]

Initial thoughts: really good refereeing.
Second thoughts: not a pen, probably still a foul and red.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Outside the box.

Didn't deny a goalscoring opportunity.

Yellow and free kick.

Poor cardiff.

He's one on one with the keeper, and the tug gives Marshall the time to stop it becoming a good goalscoring oppurtunity :s

 

[Moobabe]

There is some strange rule about it being a penalty if the situation starts outside the box but continues into it. Palace have gotten two such penalties against us this season.

I don't even think it's up for debate - the tug starts and ends outside the box. Phil Dowd just guessed - but that's typical of him. And typical of officials' performances this season in truth.

 

[Tc91]

From the FIFA rules:

If a defender starts holding an attacker outside of the box but continues holding inside the penalty area, the referee shall award a penalty kick.

So Dowd got that spot on.

 

[Hixx]

A) Well done Connor Wickham for not collapsing in a heap
B) Well done Phil Dowd - sort of.

It was outside the box, absolutely. BUT, it was a foul and it denied Wickham a 1 on 1. Red.

No pen but red was right.

edit: seems Dowd was spot on.

GET FUCKED, FOOTBALL GAF. DARE 2 DREAM 2 DREAM HARDER IS ALIVE, THE KICKSTARTER IS NEARLY FUNDED

 

[WJD]

From the FIFA rules:

If a defender starts holding an attacker outside of the box but continues holding inside the penalty area, the referee shall award a penalty kick.

So Dowd got that spot on.

Welp, fair enough.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Fuck feeling sorry for Cardiff.

 

[TeddyBoy]

That's a bit of a strange ruling, hadn't heard about that before.

Was definitely red card but outside the box for me.

From the FIFA rules:

If a defender starts holding an attacker outside of the box but continues holding inside the penalty area, the referee shall award a penalty kick.

So Dowd got that spot on.

Cheers Tc!

 

[The_Hitcher89]

From the FIFA rules:

Did they change that recently?

I'm sure when Masch had one called against him for pulling Valencia, it was the wrong decision as the foul started outside the box

 

[Wilbur]

From the FIFA rules:

If a defender starts holding an attacker outside of the box but continues holding inside the penalty area, the referee shall award a penalty kick.

So Dowd got that spot on.

See, it doesn't help matters that - for example - the BBC live text says "Replays then show that Cala's foul actually started outside the box though. It should have been a free-kick and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is incredulous on the sideline."

That means that everyone is just going to take that as gospel, when the rules say otherwise.

 

[cookie-monster]

was a red but not a pen
