We should have had our ball boys/girls doing this on Saturday against Leicester

Ours barely know what day it is half the time. They are never switched on to speed the game up and slow it down at different times. (Not having that they aren't allowed as every other team seems to)

To be fair, they all look really young at the CBS. The Moroccan ball boys looked about 30

So people keep quoting, shame other clubs can still get away with it when they need to.

Some of Abdoulie Manneh’s grandchildren then

Ridiculous!!

 

[Nick]

Yeah there's no bribery or fixing going on at all there.

They just randomly decide

 

[Alkhen]

Why on earth would Morocco want it at this point, moments gone lads move on

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Morocco winning the real quiz

 

[ccfctommy]

Do the bookies now have to pay out on Morocco now?

 

[AOM]

Reckon we could contest that Man Utd semi final?

 

[covcity4life]

They are embarrassing themselves

 

[Shannerz]

They'll be dancing in the streets of Rabat tonight.

 

[David O'Day]

the courts will reverse that

 

[Hiraeth]

Fantastic adherence to Article 82 by the Moroccans leading ultimately to a comprehensive victory under Article 84. Tactical genius the likes of which we may never see again.

Has someone from the RFU been giving CAF lessons on how to destroy competitive sport and how to reward competitors using alternative criteria than simple merit?

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

And African football wants to be taken seriously?

 

[Travs]

Its probably a correct decision, but should've been made at the time, as soon as Senegal walked off. Game over.

Doing it now is equally ridiculous.

it's not the correct decision, it would have been if the ref who is the person who is the one to make said decision did it at the time but as he didn't the can't retroactively forfeit the game.

Be shockwd if the courts don't laugh at this and reinstate Senegal.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Games are won on football pitches not in board meetings.

Thats pretty much what i said

That would have been the referees call surely?

 

[Travs]

Yes it should've been made at the time.

Reversing it now just makes a ridiculous situation even more shambolic.

 

[oscillatewildly]

Do the bookies now have to pay out on Morocco now?

Imagine the thousa.... Imagine the two people that have retained their betting slip/phone record.

Completely agree. It would have been the correct decision at the time, the ref should have called it. But now it's just farcical. At least when a medalling drug cheat result gets overturned it feels like the right decision. This feels a bit embarrassing

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Farcical.
