Lorielus Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 England are hereby banned from ever complaining about the Hand of God again - that was every bit as egregious a piece of cheating from Sterling. VAR failing to even advise the referee to review it is nothing short of suspicious. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many already quoting hand of God and a hundred other decisions that have gone against them (including Danish free kick tonight) as justification for accepting dodgy decision tonight. None of those alleged injustices were verified by VAR! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ref remembered that rule in the 2nd half of extra time as the Danes took a throw-in and a second ball made its way back onto the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouser2 Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Apart from pushing the ball out at the penalty thought Schmeichel was MOM , the Danish team , staff and fans deserve great credit for what they have done and overcome in this tournament… 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Although it was Sterling who dived for the decisive penalty, I think it must just be part of the culture of white English players to dive and play act. The pundits rightly ridiculed Immobile the other night - ‘ it’s just part of the culture ‘ in their greasy woppish country apparently. Kane and Grealish behave in an identical fashion. But it’s ‘clever play’ when they do it. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So tonight and countless instances last season proves VAR is only as good as the ref in charge of it, and generally but not always they back up their colleagues despite obvious evidence to the contrary. Less mistakes occur, but it’s a nonsense to still have obvious errors and it’s down to the human element. It’s not fit for purpose in its current form as tonight proved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi2 Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 For Italy to have any chance would need a very strong ref, as proved tonight. Can't see that happening, so..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less errors than the previous system, which relied solely on the human element, so it’s not fit for purpose? Now I’m unsure if you’re a Luddite proposing going back to the good old day, where these things even themselves out over a season or a technophile proposing the removal of humans from the equation altogether. Either way, you’re wrong. All you need to do is remove the phrase clear and obvious error from the instructions to the VAR team and tell refs to park their ego. Job done.

Nobody Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 While it genuinely hurt me to watch and listen to that last night, the truth is that for whatever reason be it tiredness or genuine lack of squad depth Denmark offered nothing in that game beyond about the 60th minute. There was only one team looking like they were trying to win it from that point on but they still needed referee/ VAR assistance to get there. f it is a weak ref in the final I’d expect a similar sort of outcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaker71 Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 Firstly let mw Say, rhe better team won last night. However, if thats a oenalty then the game is done. Even the divijg little fanny Sterling almost admitted luve in TV he dived, before rapidly saying he felt the Danish player touch his leg so it was a oenalty. WTAF!!!! Theyve had almost every break of rhe ball the wholw tournament, and the hyoerbole of the media and the fans is just reaching insane levels. One guy actually said theyve a truly Amazinf squad, full of world class players!!!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbk Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 The hope that Italy can beat them in the final is really all we have to cling on to and the tag they will have to endure as the team who blew their big chance after 55 years in front of a capacity crowd in their own back yard . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangodog Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 My worry is that Chiesa won't be fit for the final. Appeared to be hobbling at the end of the Spain game. At least I'll be at home on Sunday after listening to the celebrations at a caravan park in Devon last night. ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhamkillieken Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 england won with an own goal and a suspect penalty, but they were the best team and deserved the win. hope the final is a cracker. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shropshire_killie Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 It's a sad side of the modern game that players with talent like Sterling fall over so deliberately and so easily. Kanes was more of a penalty. He is well known for this aspect of this game so you can understand why so many folk dislike him. Cheating little s**t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prahakillie Posted July 8, 2021 Report Share Posted July 8, 2021 Desperate attempt to justify decision in the Guardian: "The penalty came with 12 minutes gone in extra time and Denmark paddling. Sterling did that thing he does, running into contact, toe to toe, taking his man into that uncomfortable place. A tired leg touched the back of his calf as he skipped through. Sterling went down. There were protests, wagged fingers, outrage. VAR upheld the call, which was perhaps based on sound as much as vision, the click of boot on leg." https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2021/jul/07/england-emerge-into-the-light-after-a-night-of-noirish-nordic-drama 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
