Zatman Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 took more than 2 minutes to see if that goal should stand when nothing to indicate why it wouldnt. Bollocks to video referees if this happens every game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Replay hard to tell but if Fonte does get the OG on the Mexico equaliser its one of best Ogs of all time since Moreno headed his arm by looks of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 Not a fan of the video refereeing. Think it hinders more than it helps. Not sure the Chile goal that was disallowed was even offside. Goal line technology is great, but let's leave it at that for the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 the video ref is awful and they werent much better in Under 20 tournament. Vargas was onside at time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Even though they look like a bunch of extras in a gangbanger movie, Chile can be a joy to watch when they are playing, the movement is awesome at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think we'll look back in 5 years time and wonder how on earth football stayed in the dark ages for so long. Was rather annoying that it delayed things after the Portugal second goal. Needs to be quicker because football isn't like Cricket I think the 30 minute halves is a good idea because in reality we don't get that now and if the clock stopped after a thrown-in, Foul, Corner etc it would stopped all this time wasting and the refs not adding enough injury time.

VillaChris Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Goal celebrations go on for well over a minute so don't really see the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 It still stakes the spontaneity out of the game. The players celebrate a goal the fans celebrate a goal and a minute later its disallowed. Not saying it shouldn't be used but I can see why they have been reticent to use it unlike goal-line technology which is virtually instant.

Hornso Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Fearing a thumping from Ze Germans tonight, but hopefully Ange's new system is executed well and has us competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted June 19, 2017 Moderator Share Posted June 19, 2017 I suppose it's summer footy of sorts. Linfield have just been drawn against Celtic if they can get past their next CL opponent (from San Marino). That's Linfield. Versus Celtic. In Belfast. On July the 12th (ahem) Quote In Northern Ireland, where almost half the population is from an Irish Catholic background, The Twelfth is a tense time. Orange marches through Irish Catholic and Irish nationalist neighbourhoods are usually met with opposition from residents, and this sometimes leads to violence. Many people see these marches as sectarian, triumphalist, supremacist, and an assertion of British and Ulster Protestant dominance. The political aspectshave caused further tension. Marchers insist that they have the right to celebrate their culture and walk on public streets, particularly along their 'traditional routes'. In a 2011 survey of Orangemen throughout Northern Ireland, 58% of Orangemen said they should be allowed to march through Catholic or Irish nationalist areas with no restrictions; 20% said they should negotiate with residents first.Some have argued that members of both communities once participated in the event;although it has always been a Protestant affair and many Catholics opposed the marches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Leno in German goal is even worse than Joe Hart. Massively overrated keeper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Not seen the game, but what an odd line up in there he England u21 No Hughes, Gray or Redmond. A 433 with Hughes, Chalobah and Baker in midfield and Redmond, Abrahams and Gray up front would be far better, but Bothroyd won't go that advantageous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 German keeper must have Aussie in-laws or something. Pleased to see us give it a bit of a shake at the end. A bit of polish lacking in the final ball but that's so often the case for Aussie footballers. Rogic will be something special though if he ever decides he could be arsed to put in some graft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 Loving the Swedish away fans at the U-21 Euro's. Once again it's a massive loud yellow wall rivaled almost only by the Südtribüne in Dortmund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Sound like he's now doing a dherwood too, names a shit line up, has to change it at HT, claims he's a tactical genius who can make the big decisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
