Niasse Red Card overturned

The near future will present us with video referee, which will encourage a much more unbiased and transparent sport.
Disagree on the substitution.
Football is a team's sport. If a player must be punished with a red card, the team where he plays must also be held responsible for choosing to act through that player. Just consider this simple example: R.M vs Barcelona (CL final), Messi is doing it again. RM knows that if they don't stop him they will loose. Zidane tells uninspired Benzema to attack Messi's knee. He does it. Ref sends him off for a professional foul. Messi limps and is away for 5 minutes in the sideline getting treatment. On the meanwhile Benzema is replaced by a much inspired Morata who almost scores in his first touch. Messi back in the game. Zidane now tells, the already booked, Casemiro to go and get him - Messi. He does. And this turn Messi must be replaced. Will be out for 2 to 3 months and will loose the World Cup. Kovacic is on for Casemiro.......

I've been against the sendings off rule for some time on here, but people are generally very conservative with this. I'm sure there must be many more sendings off than there used to be back in the day, it's a bigger impact now.

 

video refs in world cup 2018

 

Sounds like a scene from The Godfather.

 

I don't think I've ever known such anger about a referees officiating of a game than I have with this one.

Usually, when your team wins, you shrug your shoulders and move on.

This was different. I think people are genuinely worried that the result was meant to be different.

The Niasse straight red incident was obviously in the spotlight, but if you still have the means to look at a replay(it was show on MOTD) look at Grosiki been brought down in the penalty area.

You could never see a more obvious stone wall penalty and as the rules insist, a goal scoring opportunity was denied, so a red card is a given.

As it happens, we were ****ing awesome in that sexy second half and there was nothing the officials could do to deny either Markovic's or Sams goals.

Am I paranoid or is it just the 'Money don't want us'?

 

To me it looked very similar to Shaqiri for Stoke being brought down at Swansea, which was given. (That twat Arnautović blasted it over the bar)

 

Yep, saw that.

 

If dodgy dealing is not been done now it will be in the near future. The highest level FIFA well we all saw how bent they all are. UAFA anyone notice how there are no longer 3 English teams in the semi finals of the champions league, much easier / better to sell the TV rights when that country has a team involved at the end. The Premier League now has so much money and a world wide audience they don't want anyone rocking the gravy train, nice quiet teams, well behaved supporters plus a few characters to liven up the press conferences.

Alternatively this can be moved to the conspiracy thread.

 

Just read an article by Martin Samuel about the way gill who was at Man U, but now at Eufa has concocted a fiddle to enable the fallen European giants to keep in the champions league.

 

I won't lie to you, I was thinking about the conspiracy thread as I wrote.

 

Maybe give us a link?

 

On the iPad **** knows how kemps

 

No worries Chazz, can't suss that either.

 

I've fired up the craptop just for you.

"Thursday night's derby is huge for Manchester City for another reason: UEFA's new co-efficient system.

Where Manchester United's status is now boosted by their history as tournament winners — taken into account for the first time as the result of a carve-up between David Gill and other members of Europe's elite — City cannot afford a year out of the Champions League. They fell from 11th to 16th in UEFA's new Gill-conceived co-efficient rankings as it is.

Manchester United, despite spending two of the last three seasons out of the Champions League, rose from 20th to 12th; AC Milan, whose previous five seasons amount to two last-16 eliminations in the Champions League and three years when they didn't make any UEFA competition at all, jumped 16 slots, 25th to ninth.

So if United don't reach the Champions League — well, Gill and his friends at UEFA have seen them all right. If City don't get there, Pep Guardiola is about to receive another reminder of what life is like outside UEFA's favoured few. Sir Alex Ferguson is a big fan of the new system, by the way.

Begin eye-rolling sequence now."

 

I don't know how or why mate, but you just made me order a tekaway.

****ed if I know why.

It just is.

 

Just one of my powers. Its been working on ben for years.

 

I do that when I'm bored too...

 

Right
And what does that actually mean?

 

Obvs they have to qualify for the CL but they get seeded so avoid playing the top clubs. More chance of getting through to the knockout stages. So more money.

 

Ah ok
