The game is bent

Infilltrated by Far Eastern betting rings, that is the only logical explanation to what I was witness to yesterday afternoon.

You’re not wrong about the Far East rings Mick. I bought a packet of iced party rings in Caister over the weekend, bent double when I got them out, they were that soggy.
 
Of course it could be plain and simple incompetence.
I know bit boring.
Five VAR decisions against us in one week. Record?
 
The Big 6 clubbing together to put little Leicester back in their box??

Might have to move this thread to the "dark side" of conspiracies etc.
 
Haven't seen it yet Micky - I generally refuse to watch any football for a couple of days after we get diddled out of a game. Yokofox gets a little bored of me shouting at the television.
 
But, if he is already diving to the ground before contact is made, is the dive not the first offence. Must stress that I hate all penalties where contact is manufactured much preferring the refereeing of the 60s/70s where a player had to be kicked at least 6ft up in the air before consideration was even given.
 
On this often fascinating topic, why isn't the club appealing the Wilf send off against Napoli?
Trying to tug a shirt is in no way a cautionable offence and the decision in stoppage time smacked of spite.
So there...

In the case of the game vs Millwall in 1970, players from either side had to be pronounced dead before they received a card. Watching a Millwall player being clattered by both Carlin and Kellard in quick succession, it made life seem so special. Imagining them getting to work on Bruno Fernandes? Priceless.

i stand to be corrected but - in domestic football at least - you can't appeal a yellow card, only a straight red.

Can’t appeal against 2 yellows, can only appeal against a straight red card…
 
I knew you can't appeal a caution but this was a red awarded, in my view, on a wrong interpretation of a second foul.
And it wasn't a domestic game....
 
What was so wrong yesterday as pointed out on MoTD was the laws of the game were clearly misinterpreted.
You would hope at the top level that at least one of 4 officials + VAR ref would know the fucking laws !

Not sure why you feel the need to be snippy to people trying to help answer your query.... especially as you apparently already knew the answer.

:rolleyes:
 
Adumass, sorry if you think I was 'snippy' (not a term I am familiar with but sounds bad).
I was, as appropriate, trying to deal with the issue and not in any way meaning to be disrespectful to you or any fellow roofer...
