I will take that bet if it includes the European nations League?

You’re on. It needs to be index linked because I have a fear post Brexit we will be trading in salt. :)

Excellent as I could do with some Ryanair tokens this summer shortly after we win the Nations league as a precursor to our Nations cup win at Wembley in 2020....Foden getting the winner.

It’s a bit early to be sniffing glue, but fair play to you. :)

>> He should stick with decission. Thems the rules. It wasn't a clear and obvious error either.
And yet video replay wasn't available. How on earth should the onfield ref muster the audacity to completely disregard the replay booth when they had ample replays available to them.

I for one, absolutely agree that Otters hand ball is a penalty - on the basis that that's the way that the game is called - at the same time I absolutely agree that Otter's hand ball was not intentional.

The rules of the game need to be updated.

>> 2nd, offside takes presidente as that took place first.
Implicitly claiming that you're more knowledgeable than the professional referees on the field... well, I rather doubt that you're correct.

I’m not sure you necessarily understand the rules then, mate. Hand ball has to be deliberate for it to be considered an offence.

If you don’t think Otamendi was deliberately seeking an advantage by having his arm in the position it was in, then by the rules of the game, you don’t think it should be a pen.

Seems to be a bit confused...

I have more chance being asked to be a mod on here than you have of giving anyone a seeing to. Foreign or otherwise.

And leave Doris out of this. Lovely woman and saucy minx.

You are embarrassing in the match threads,give your head a wobble ffs

At least I won’t be reported to the RSPCA for cat abuse

Had the referee given the penalty of his own volition, it would have been bad, yes, but it would not have been quite so bad say as Dowd (Liverpool) or Clattenburg (Spurs). What's genuinely worrying, however, is that there is a room full of experts who can determine that the referee's original decision was clearly wrong. That I find deeply disconcerting.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Just watching the re-run and there was a foul on Sterling after 5 minutes that was given but no card. It was almost identical to the one Otamendi got his second yellow for.

And how Caligiuri, who wasn't captain, didn't get carded for constantly being in the ref's face I'll never know. Made Rooney look discreet.

Makes no difference whether he’s the captain or not. They have no more right to talk to the ref on behalf of their teammates than anyone else.
...according to what I vaguely remember from my 1980 Roy of the Rovers Annual’s ‘You’re the ref’ section.
