I'd prefer the ref to look at those types of decisions rather than a var official.

Why the VAR official is a ref? We've sent Atwell and Kavanagh to do it.

The Ref fella just explained why it was a red

I heard that but it's still a shocking directive to justify awarding a red.

Tangent time. Wasn’t Kavanagh the ref in the United game with that Busst injury? Said he was brushing bone marrow off the pitch.

Edit: no, I’m totally wrong. Carry on.

The ref had the perfect view to begin with. It was a definite red.

Sorry not having it. 1 footed, wasn't excessive force or out of control, just late, which is why he landed on his ankle. I'd be fuming if we had a player sent off for a similar foul.

It wasn't out of control? FFS

Did look harsh but can see why it wasn’t overturned by var. But by the same token, if the ref had given a yellow, var wouldn’t have changed it to a red.

Because the ref knows what his though process was for giving the red. Him watching the football will confirm thay reasoning or not. As much as there is the letter of the law, its up to the refs interpretation when applying them. Some refs this tournament have let things go, the England Scotland ref was far too whistle happy. By the letter of the law, we should have had a penalty.

And people laugh at the suggestion that the powers that be will eventually outlaw any type of tackling!
It's only heading one way!

Mate, what are you talking about it. Any ref would of give a red.

It was late, out of control and frankly nasty.

Not up there with a Kathy Bates challenge.

And out of control, reckless and dangerous.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Is he suspended for the 16 or does all that get wiped out after the group?

Think he is, it's wiped after the quarters

 

[Evo1883]

Bale has to atleast hit the target

 

[Liquid Gold]

John Hartson is about the most one-sided commentator so far. Boring at the best of times but this makes me want to pull teeth.

[Evo1883]

Good achievement and likely to have a decent draw in the round of 16 ..

Be shambolic if they get further than us 2 euros in a row

 

[Evo1883]

They made 8 changes Italy.. that's some depth .

Veratti looked classy

The professional footballers in the studio 100% disagree with you and agree with Stu oh well

Cool, you did listen when Peter Walton explained why it's a red card or were you already too far into the white lightening?

 

[oscillatewildly]

Grendel, Grendel, Grendel, Grendel, Grendel....

 

[David O'Day]

any back on block you go after that piss poor attempt.

I give him a chance and he fucks it up.

As Thom said you "You do it to yourself, just you"

 

[David O'Day]

Grendel, Grendel, Grendel, Grendel, Grendel....

He was wrong. The story of his made up life

Peter Walton whose never played a game in his life. Well done O Drivel for proving the point even more

And you suggest I’m on White Lightening - I guess to be fair you can’t even afford that - Special Brew again is it?

You mean Peter Walton the ref who explained the UEFA directive that mean that is now classed as a red card?

Fuck me you really are losing it.

 

[David O'Day]

anyway time for me to do a victory lap, laugh at Genners and retire as I don't what to derail the thread.

Laters Grenners one day you'll actually win.

No Peter Walton whose not played the game and looks at slow motion replays - it’s why you need more ex professionals now as referees who understand the game like cricket has ex pros as umpires

In other words you’ve been exposed again make some terrible attempts at a put down spelling all over the place and just windmill frantically

 

[oscillatewildly]

The Fall and the Big Bopper both did great covers of 'White Lightening'.

 

[Grendel]

Why would O Drivel care? Ask if it’s a Celtic opponent if you want his fan view perspective
