[Football] World Cup: France vs Maty Ryan

[Hendrax]

Should be retrospective action against that cheating French prick. Didn't even touch him. Pathetic.

 

[Pantani]

Ref has lost it a bit. Giroud argues a decision, throws the ball away and tells the ref to **** off, no yellow card. Australian left back tussles for the ball, yellow card

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Ref-er-ree

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Lawrenson not exacttly keeping his true feelings hidden.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

An element of controversy on all 3 goals and all 3 go France's way (including crap VAR, blatent cards and then if crossed line).

Oh well.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Ref-er-ree

Andrés Cunha

Worth pronouncing the ‘ha’ as ‘t’.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

So many cheating soft cocks play soccer. Embarrassing sport at times when grown men who were hardly touched roll around like they were shot. Well done us for having a crack.

Oh well.

No issue with the second french goal. Definitely crossed the line.

Has Russia hacked the BBC transmission...?

Has anyone seen the overhead view yet.?

 

[Fungus]

Who keeps pressing the wrong button at the Beeb?

Yeah Aussie coverage shows it a good 6 inches or so behind the line.

 

[BensGrandad]

Why on the penalty decision was the ref only shown two angles on the var screen both of which looked like it was a foul, it looked to me that he never saw the angle which showed the Aussie defender touching the ball first. What is the point of var if the ref is not shown all the angles?

What did it matter that the defender touches the ball first as the Frenchman's trailing leg was caught so a definite penalty as VAR proved.correctly. The question is whether or not it was an obvious miss and VAR used in the first place.

Oh well.

Just because it uses VAR doesn't make it controversial. Which of those decisions were wrong? Only mildly debatable one is the first and seems like a fairly clear pen to me.

 

[seagulls4ever]

Touching the ball first is not taken into consideration, only by tv pundits.

Eh? Of course it is. The whole point of a challenge is to win the ball, and you have to win the ball before you take the man. Former refs have said this many times on channels like BT Sport.

 

[seagulls4ever]

Mark Clattenburg says correct decision.

Those Aussies love exaggerating it was an inch at best

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Rubbish. It was about an inch clear of the white line, no more.

The ball didn't even change direction. Yes, he touched the ball, but he didn't win it.

When Clattenburg speaks, the football world listens.
