[Football] Spain v Putin’s Empire (BBC1)

[seagulls4ever]

I'm not sure if Spain's penalty claim was a clear and obvious error - so I can understand why it was not given - but it was definitely a talking point. So why didn't the BBC show it again and talk about it post match?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

oh please

Anywhere else on the pitch it’s a foul.

2 defenders pull back 2 attacking players

Should have been a pen

 

[Nixonator]

The`BBC panel unbelievably, didnt even deem fit to Discuss the incident !

are they on someones payroll?

What incident? The one that was clearly not a penalty and the VAR panel didn't even deem it worth the referee's attention?

Clutching at straws, Spain weren't good and up against a resilient team with an obvious game plan as we have done many times in Hughton's reign.

Adios.

Utter nonsense.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Utter nonsense.

So you can drag a player to the ground?

 

[Gwylan]

So you can drag a player to the ground?

My view of it was that the players dragged each other to the ground. The VAR officials must have taken a similar view as they didn't even refer it to the ref

Barely any contact, would have been the softest penalty given this WC at a critical moment. They both hand their hands on each other.

Show me a video and I'll have another look, there seemed nothing in it (despite the commentator's ramblings) when I watched the replay.

Incomparable to some of Mitrovic and Kane's treatment.

 

[The Rivet]

I do not care how Spain went out even if it's a conspiracy. Pen or no pen Spain were simply not good enough. I am glad they have gone. Fed up of people bleating over Ranaldo, Messi, and 'BIG' nations like Argentina, Spain, Portugal and Germany. I am enjoying seeing them suffer.

Still feel a bit dirty watching this world cup, just can't help it. Reminds me a lot of South Korea in 2002

 

[portslade seagull]

Oh well that's my team in the works draw through.

Kane and Mitrovic are just allowed to be kicked because they are big.

I am desperate to see it again now!

I had 20 quid on Russia so I am not too bothered lol

 

[Mackenzie]

England through to the final then. Happy days.

 

[Two Professors]

Just hypothetically:

Uruguay v France and Brazil v Belgium on one side of the draw.

England v Sweden and Russia v Croatia on the other.

One nonsense team is going to have a 90 minute shot at the World Cup. Unbelievable!

That's a bit harsh on France.

 

[1066familyman]

Just finished watching back.

What a story for the hosts!

Not great for the football purist, but Russia did what they had to do and Spain just not able to break them down. Hats off to Russia I say.

Clattenberg has just reviewed the non-penalty and says no penalty. The reverse view clearly shows Ramos linking arms with the defender and grabbing his shirt. Not wnough going on with Pique to be given either. VAR correct.

 

[LVGull]

On Pique there was

Never a penalty on ANY Spanish player. Just been cleaned up on ITV and by Clattenberg. Ramos is a dirty cheating f***er and he didn’t get what he was after.

 

[LVGull]

Yes Ramos can drag a player to the ground, and not get rewarded with a penalty. Thank god you are not on the panel.
