I'm 53 I've been lucky enough to have seen the great days of football. Now I hate the modern game.
I’m 63 and totally agree with you.
Exactly the diving makes you sick have you seen Lacazette diving for Arsenal?
No real men in the game anymore
same here ime 69 and the whole concept of football is completely woke its about every thing being politically correct with no passion or continuety
@Party Vegetable exactly it is haha they don't need a ref for Lacazettes games they need a life guard
The games I played in as a kid in the 1970s were tougher than top flight football now.
Jumpers for goalposts, eh?
@@zargonthemagnificent330 And the opposition manager tripping you up as you ran down the wing.
Who remember’s getting milk in glass bottles 😊
@@daviddraper3871 I remember getting free milks in school then I had to take 5p.
I said why do I need 5p now for milk and got told
Maggie thatcher 🤣😂
Simon is without a doubt the reason I give this channel a chance. Brilliant, impartial and straightforward, an example others should follow but only very few can lead.
I'm not sure why, but I read your comment in a Bruce Lee voice. It sounded much wiser as a result.
Remember when di canio caught the ball when he could have scored, Fowler against arsenal saying it wasn’t a penalty , that won’t happen nowadays
That is why you remember those incidents. They were rare and far between.
"Fowler against Arsenal saying it wasn't a penalty" before promptly trying to score it you mean? He could've tapped it across the floor to Seaman if he was so outraged lol
@@Matthew-bu7fg great penalty wasn’t it lol
@@gmantv7813 i mean it wasnt a great penalty but there are definitely steps he couldve taken if he was honestly so remorseful! 😉
@@Matthew-bu7fg Yh the latest gesture was probably bielsa ordering his team to let a goal in shows of sportsmanship needs to be shown more especially in the world we live in now
Jim White questions honesty of football players when he refuses breath test for drink driving!
He's vile
I didn't know you could refuse a test
You can refuse a roadside test. The only trouble with that if you don't supply one at the nick you get charged for failing to provide a breath sample. In some cases you can get a longer ban for that.
The guy’s a knob!!
He's a drama queen.
Berks like lineker 🤣
Haven’t heard Berk in a long time 😂
@@Benjo-mv1gz I heard it the other day... It was my dad ranting on about something, probably me 😂
Love it. Cant stand old jug lugs
First time i agree with simon 'vitriol' jordan
Lineker is a complete PRICK, these 'woke' people will not be forgotten.
just look at bellingham goal vs man city, he stayed on his feet to put the ball in and it gets chopped off, had he dived ederson would likely get sent off. its the rules that make players dive
Interesting.. "it's the rules that make players dive".. I would add that it's also the culture of gaining any advantage over your opponent. So it's about rules.. and culture.
And human nature for greed and the desire to feel the need to dominate at any cost to get what they want
Going down over that is one thing, but to stay on the floor for several minutes and need medical attention is laughable. How he's not in trouble for simulation is beyond me. This is the reason that diving exists in the first place, because it works.
Exactly. Players going down easy is part of the game now but to go down, stay down and then get the medics on is embarrassing.
@@WR3DD It's only part of the game because the refs allow it. I know it's easy for me to say while I'm sat at home behind a computer, but if I was the ref, I would be booking Son for simulation 100%, he got a fingertip to his nostril, there is no reason for him to go to ground, but he does because he wants to convince the ref that he's severely hurt. That is simulation and is a bookable offence, but instead of booking him, they let him get away with it, which is why all the players do it.
So weird how its taken this incident for people to say this needs fixing.
Diving/simulation has been in the game for years.
He got poked in the eye you mug
@@peterhildreth3545 I mean, you're just wrong there. I don't think there's anything else I can tell you. You've either not watched the incident properly, or you're just making it up, but either way, there isn't a single camera angle that shows him being hit in the eye at any point, and I've just spent a few minutes watching all the videos again after your comment to make sure. Go and watch them, you mug.
"The world is full of lemmings". Spot on Simon. And thats also the problem with the world Danny....people, especially those in a position of power, are more bothered about money than integrity and truth.
Spot on. Been like that for hundreds of years and will be like that until the day the world implodes and c@nts like Branson and Zuckerberg will fly off in their spaceships blaming all of us 😆 i laugh but you mark my words.
Lineker not happy unless he is centre of attention.. geezer needs fade off into retirement gracefully .. good player terrible geezer
@@mattevans5201 don’t need to do that to know Lineker is a muppet. He is a deluded virtue signaller
You're a muppet mate
@@Daniboi971 Correct... He's only doing to remain relevant though
@catfishale asad Where's the video of his pet refugee?
@catfishale asad Not anymore, no!
And Danny’s point about asking criminals to start behaving is bang on! 😂😂
Most of our justice system is about asking criminals to start behaving.
Its like saying parents have no responsibility over their kids behaviour
Exactly it's the refs job to keep em line
You! You there! Burglar! Stop with all the damn burgling would you? There's a good fellow!
Sorry mate! Didn't realise it was upsetting anyone!
Yeah Cavani is sick of the play acting so he's going back to South American football, that bastion of fair play and high integrity where there is never any play acting. 🤣
😂 😂 😂
@catfishale asad I don't think Jim White was joking in the way you think he was.
@catfishale asad Yes but I interpreted it as Jim making a joke at the expense of English football by inferring that cavani would look down on the culture of play acting in England. Just like his anecdote about rugby players laughing at English football. Hence me laughing at the idea that a South American footballer would be offended by diving and cheating. Jim's obviously not watched much SA football.
@catfishale asad I think you're maybe giving Jim white too much credit
What happened to the days when players were allowed at leas one potentially leg braking tackle before they got booked, and players tried to stay on their feet after being scythed down by a psychopathic fullback?
I hate when former professionals assume that referees have never played the game... that’s engrained in English football culture and needs to stop...
so they were all ex professional players?
It’s true though...they ain’t
@St Hurley Actually, the 22 players, both managers and coaching staff, ex-players, pundits, commentators and fans are the ones with no idea. The ref and his assistants are the ONLY people in the stadium that know the laws. Footballers and fans a re clueless on the laws. NOt a single player playing the game today could explain a single law.
@@robinmcewen3286what a load of drivel
they should put cameras and microphones in the VAR studio too. make it 100% transparent. Players won't change they can't even not claim for a throw-in on the halfway line they know isn't theirs.
Good comment!! Like Rugby!!
This was a great segment.
“If you’re the only person in a room with integrity and no one else has it, you’re gonna walk out empty handed.” 👌
There’s a perfect opportunity to rid the game of this in conjunction with their concussion laws they are looking to bring in. If a player goes down holding the head or their face, take them off for a head injury assessment to make sure of no concussion. That should put a stop to fake head injuries straight away, and lead to a safer environment for all of the players
As a Utd supporter, you’ve got to like Murphy’s analysis. Always smart, broad and balanced in my opinion.
Yeah, he's an intelligent guy. He was a real thorn in our side. Wherever he played. Good solid pro.
He’s a fool
@@peterpauloreilly4993 Which point did you disagree with?
Was always bored of him on motd but I've grown to like him somehow over lockdown and watching this show. Definitely agree players need to grow a set and stop playing this contact sport like its basketball.
Same
Danny Murphy is absolutely spot on - the referee is at fault for this controversy. VAR is to assist the referee in making a decision, not make the decision for the referee. He didnt want to make a decision and used VAR showing incidental contact in slow motion to override his initially correct decision. The reality is even without the foul that goal will most likely still have happened because the foul occurred so far away from the goal and the key pass didn't come from McTominay, it came from Fred.
Jason Cundy - Promotes Diving on Radio
Mourinho - "Be Bastards" on Amazon Doc
British Football - Prides in Dark Arts
Pundits - Shocked at Diving,Wrong Decisions 😂
It's the classic "you have to go down there" quote that every pundit encourages, and then shocked when it happens, idiots
Ironically the dark arts have found there way into the English leagues but at a national level our team still seems so naive at major tournaments!
It's when they say "he's been clever there" that makes me laugh.
Jason Cundy seems like a knobhead rbf
The Ned Flanders screaming from
Some of the players is totally embarrassing. I hate man United but that’s a goal. Against West Brom their striker covered lindeloffs
Face with his hand and it wasn’t a foul
😂
Forgot about the hand off, in the face of Lindeloff against Wst Brom - points to the fact that United dont actually get all the decisions in their favour.. 🤨
Purple drapes
@Ian Tuohy Are you thick in the head? - When did I say it was a foul..? Maybe you should learn to comprehend what someone is saying before you type..
@Ian Tuohy Im not gonna name every descision that has gone against United am I >? VAR looked at the West Brom goal - gave nothing. VAR looked at Spurs goal - gave a Free kick to them. Hence both decitions went against us! Go back to school m8
I dont think VAR is the problem in this particular case, Var checked for foul didnt make the decision, the ref made the decision to cancel the goal
VAR puts doubt in the refs mind, that’s the problem.
The ref wouldn’t have even known about the Tap to the face without VAR getting involved, last time I checked football was still a contact sport
VAR suppose to put doubt in the refs mind if it's a wrong decision, unfortunately these refs can't determine what a foul is these days
“When you get hit in the head, your legs still work.”
*Boxers enter the chat*
Hilarious. 😂
Mic referee’s up to TV audio , surely this will stop players shouting abuse ect and would give more powers to the ref
Can you imagine the amount of apologise that the commentary teams would have to do to the easily offended. It would be brilliant
They proposed this idea a few years back and the clubs voted it down.
Nah, refs should use the rules and send people off if players are abusive
Exactly if you want the refs to have authority give them the authority and the backing of everyone watching. Mic them up and let us hear why its a foul, etc.
- Players surround the ref, the ref gives a clear warning to back away. If they dont yellow card
- Swear at decisions towards the ref, yellow card for dissent
The refs are too weak in the 1st place, thats why they get walked over by players etc.
VAR is still a good idea. It's the implementation of VAR is the problem. The people behind the screens aren't good at their jobs.
lol, Jordan bringing up Rashford when he literally got his heel stamped on. Guy is so predictable.
Murphy is spot on, people like Lineker didn't envision this version of VAR. How Jordan manages to both be Mr Hindsight and Mr whataboutery at the same time is exceptional.
Lineker champions players cheating
Then Lineker gets outraged by players cheating
That's the issue
Jordan never mentioned Rashford,he said Martial.Predictable incorrect comment
Jordan speaks more sense than half of the muppets on talksport
@@leepatrick9432 I'm only at 4:51 on the video but he quite clearly said "or rashford earlier on in the game" clearly could've only referred to rashford as he was on about the Tottenham game and Martial didn't play as he was injured
@@Matthew-bu7fg thats all fans isnt it? Dive for the penalty, but of opposition dives its 10x worse
Asking players to stop diving is like asking criminals to start behaving... that was argument won for me!
Introduce what they do in Rugby ... any foul mouthing to the ref, any diving according to the referee ....... SIN BIN him for 10 minutes .... CALL OUT the Cheats ?
United came back from Spain and had a recovery day then played on the Sunday while Spurs had all week to prepare, got a huge helping hand from var and still couldn’t beat them that’s Spurs in a nutshell😂😂
as a Spurs fan i agree mate, im realistic and we are fucking shocking
felt sick when that goal wasnt given cos ive seen far FAR worse and goals have been given
footballs going down the proverbial lavatory
@@tinfoilhat-hater6125 fair play for your honesty mate, thought it was a shocking decision myself, I felt confident we would beat you when I seen dier and that midfield is awful mate one of the most average looking midfields I’ve seen for a Spurs team in a long time
Spurs did a spurs
@@richardlefleur4957 we aint even doing a Spurs mate
"doing a Spurs" back in the day meant go on a brilliant run of results, everyone gets cocky then we choke badly at the final hurdle, usually against crap teams..hence the word Spursy
@@richardlefleur4957 id say its more Spurs doing a Sheffield United 😂😂😂
When an ex-player takes the job of a ref then I’ll stand and applaud
Excellent point👍.When they created so called "Pro Refs"paying them really good Salaries,i thought u might see many lower League,semi Pro,but ideally a "ex Pro" taking up the position's,who would clearly demonstrate a better understanding of the game and not buy into so much of the BS!
They never will because they don’t need the money when they finish playing
I can sit and listen to Simon talk about the modern game all day. He's got good takes on almost every major topic that comes up in my opinion.
Jim on the other hand.......
Diving is very simple to deal with. Retrospective yellow cards after the game following analysis of the game. That would eliminate diving. Going down too easy would be harder to manage.
Danny is correct here. Son went down because he knew the play would be reviewed. I don’t blame him. I blame the refs who could have used this as an opportunity to not get conned. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.
To me thats like blaming the police for a crime because they didnt catch the perpitrator but ok if you agree with this the there has to be a 5 match ban automatic for any player who simulates easy to watch tv all angles available and check
I want Simon Jordan to be a regular on sky sports, instead of the Liverpool n united Mafia
One person's food is another person' poison. I am happy not to see Simon Jordan on Sky sports, I find him too judgemental for the role.
Speaks more sense than 95% of the numpties on tv and radio. Better than the biased shite we have to deal with.
Facts only as per usual from Sir Simon Jordan
Where is the sound. Or is TH-cam censoring it
Watching Newcastle's disallowed goal yesterday, I started thinking that VAR, players wages, looking at the super league plans a few days ago and the new Champions League format, I thought; "football might not survive the next 20 years"
If it takes 3 mins at Stockley Park followed by 6 replays for the ref to decide then I don’t think it’s a clear and obvious error.
Well said Simon Jordan
Diving has been a scourge of the English game since the 90s. Makes me laugh that they say 'last couple of years'.
Great discussion. In my humble opinion VAR needs to have 3 decision makers, an ex player, an ex manager and an ex ref and 2 out of 3 must agree the decision. Not a chuff at Stockley.
Title of this clip starts "Berks like Gary Lineker...."I know you at talk football don't like the BBC ,but don't make hay out of that when VAR is being mismanaged by the officials at stockley park and the ref on the field.
"When you get hit in the head your legs still work" - Not been in or watched many fights I see Danny.
In terms in the sport of football he’s correct, unless its a freakish accident nothing stops you from running apart from yourself
He's right. I've seen heavyweight boxers get up quicker then son after they were kod by prime Mike tyson
Well if a blow to the head is so severe that your legs stop working, then it should be a forced substitution. The player should not be allowed to continue. That would put an end to that sort of bs.
The technology works very well in cricket after a few minor adjustments. I suggest that a team should only be allowed to appeal to VAR once per half. The ref could also have the power to warn a player that if he continues to protest a decision it will be referred to VAR and the team's appeal will be lost if found to be fallacious. As VAR is only intended to prevent howlers, severely limiting the number of appeals will greatly concentrate the player's minds. Other than as a response to over-pressurizing the Ref, the decision to go to VAR should be taken out of the Refs hands and given to captains, as it is in cricket. If the judgment is in the affirmative then the appeal is restored, if not it is lost.
I NEVER wanted VAR to begin with. Football flourished for over 150 years without VAR. It's a simple beautiful game that doesn't need gimmicks.
Sickening how players, like Son, collapse with near-zero contact. Refs need a pair and have to punish fake pain.
I am afraid Son did not start it. It started many years ago.
@@adeko8578 we all know that but he should have been booked , he’s a clown and cheated
@@alastairbrewster4274 was he fouled?
If so you can’t dive. You can exaggerate but not dive if fouled. Mctominay shouldn’t of flailed his arm back. Play through Son’s pull back take the advantage, and score.
As soon as he flails to get Son’s arm off of him and catches his face (and force isn’t a factor in the foul except determining a card and the color) he has committed a careless offense against Son.
@@eiler1987 it wasn’t a foul
Simon Jordan is spot on as usual
The one that gets me is the defender facing his goal, player behind him, he gets a little tap, defender falls down like he’s been shot and the ref blows and gives a free kick
The very first thing that needs to happen is stop calling it simulation and just call it cheating.
Danny we can'thave it both ways .
Goals are being ruled out because because an attacking players eyebrows are offside but people say technically it's offside .
Well same thing applies in the Son foul he was caught in the face ( the level of contact is irrelevant ) therefore technically it's a foul .
Thank you, finally someone on here with a rational comment.
Power in the contact is what is used to determine if and what color the card should be. And if Mctominay wouldn’t have flailed his arm back as Son pulled on him, United would have been given the advantage and scored and we go on. But cause of a careless flick of the hand catches the face of an other player. It’s a foul
@@eiler1987 Absolutely. Smacking someone in the face especially a stretched out arm is a foul. Even players who accidentally smash someone in the face when jumping for the ball is considered a foul so why wouldn't this its even worse
'When you get hit in the head, your legs still work.' hahahahaha

Thanks Murphy , you are spot on, fotball is ashame today , the game have lost it´s beauty
VAR is a *good* thing, it has reduced the number of bad decisions & means officials fixing games (on the rare occasion it happens) is far more difficult. Referees are not good enough and they are not good enough at reading VAR either.
Poor Salt & Lineker..
Simon Jordan has something personal against Ole. Not sure what Ole did to him!
Wtf anything to spout your hate for the British
Yeh I know.
He’s a phenomenally more successful person than Simon for a start
@@brandonandtom941 Anything to spout hate against Asians
@@Zeppelin180 Both self made multi millionaires no?
Players start getting sent off for diving and bans, managers will start telling them to stand up quicker then a quick thing from quick land
Good debate
does danny murphy call out mo salah over this kind of stuff??
Danny and Simon were spot on in regards to the legacy/ integrity issue. Henry is still known as one of the best players to have ever played the game despite the handball incident for France. Would love players to own up but just won’t happen without authority implementation
I find it embarrassing when one of my team players dive....and any other team
I always liked Son, one of those hard-working players who always gives his best, and a good player. I never expected this from him. Faking it for a decision is one thing, but having the Physios come on for 3 minutes until the goal was ruled out is beyond pathetic. He's gone right down in my estimation after that.
This is how freckle fans are today. Son, if you do it one more time they will be baying for your blood. This is part of the reasons, players should act like mercenaries instead of this loyalty to club melarkey.
@@adeko8578 What are you talking about? How is being loyal/disloyal to a club anything to do with milking an injury?
@@Matthewgoff1996Your long term player, Son, was hurt during the game but you refused to give him, one of your best players, the benefit of the doubt. You stated that he was milking it and he has gone down in your estimation for that one reason. You know that it is out of character for Son to have feigned injury. He would have expected Tottenham Hotspur fans and supporters like yourself to show him that loyalty that he has been giving to your club (apart from the lovely earnings)year in, year out. Loyalty is mutual and not one way. If he feels that he is not valued by the club and fans any longer and another club values him highly, he will be daft not to move on. That is why I stated that footballers should act like mercenaries I should have added if they feel loyalty is waning.
@@adeko8578 I'm a Man United fan you pleb
@@Matthewgoff1996 OOkay. Got that scenario wrong didn't l☺️. For that, I owe you an apology,, your lordship
Always makes my piss boil when the likes of Lineker says, when a player feels a hand on his shoulder, “ he was entitled to go down” ! It’s condoning cheating. If you can stay on your feet, then do so. Sort it out refs !!
Simon Jordan is spot on. Refs are so demoralised after being undermined and undermined over the years. VAR has made this even worse. If we trust refs rather than undermining them then maybe they will start making better decisions.
This would be easier to do if the standard of refereeing weren't so shocking. We've had decisions where the ref has had the full benefit of unlimited replays on his screen and still made the wong decision that everyone else could see was wrong. Not a 50/50, not a grey area of the law, plain wrong.
All of the pundits who say "well the ref has never played the game..." how many tops players do you know of who are refs today? I can't name one. I agree having ex-players as Refs would help, but they wouldn't take the pressure based on the wage. Imagine having Roy Keane ref'ing a Prem game, the players would watch themselves more and respect his decisions.
referee's should be made accountable for the decisions they make, some of the decisions in the past World Cup were disgusting and so obviously biased.
These var decisions are a joke. We can all agree on that but it doesn't help when managers like oli berating son yesterday but condoning fernandez behaviour the week before
Finally someone with some sense. Villa nearly relegated after a farcical pen given against them last season. When Fernandes stamped on Konsa and went down like he got shot. Ole didnt seem to mind it then.
Managers are always gonna back their team in that, especially if they know it will work. Same way I don't blame the player for it, I blame the rules and officials for allowing it
They had the stretcher ready for him 😂😂😂
Why do players exaggerate things? To get the foul. To get the advantage.
Who gives the fouls. The REFS!
Who gives the guidlines for rules.
THE GOVERNING BODY
Early implementation of VAR will have its hiccups.
We can just hope that the rules will change to cut out the worst parts of the beautiful game
We need to have VAR in the studio 😆😂
4:40
I loved a rugby league referee telling a player when he answered him back “don’t answer back, this isn’t Old Trafford”
And yet the Longstaff high boot where he was literally booted in the face was no foul, it’s actually laughable.
I HATE THE NFL with a passion but have a clock that STOPS as soon as there is an injury. No time wasted though they will not stop winning teams breaking up attacking momentum.
I know it’s facetious but when I heard Danny say “when you get hit in the head your legs still work” I just had flashbacks to ruiz hitting AJ so hard his legs turned into two packs of spaghetti and they weren’t al dente!
I thought the same!! 😂😂 When you get hit in the head your legs are the first thing to go!!
I think getting hit in the head from a boxer whos profession is to knock people out and getting touched is a bit different. Jesus speak about taking everything out of context.
@@graememcleman8287 We weren't talking about getting touched... Murphy said if you get hit in the head your legs still work... That's clearly not true in any walk of life... If you get hit in the head your legs are the first thing to go
@@graememcleman8287 I did start by saying my comment was facetious...
Murphy got a chin like Duran haha
Jordan is absolutely spot on here
If the managers had 3 VAR checks similar to tennis there is no way Jose would have got that goal cancelled but because its Stockley Park saying have a look its a different case.
Spot on mate thats the way to go..They're checking everything and its a joke
Simon I like you honesty and you are right on the spot. It is so refreshing to listen to you
"When you get hit in the head, your legs still work" Danny Murphy, 2021.
Seen a few of these comments now. Getting hit in the head does not automatically knock you out so I think what Danny said is correct
I love Danny Murphy , he absolutely talks sense !!!!
I hate Simon Jordan he's pointless
Said nobody ever
Danny is right. If you know the official might give it you go down. The ref should’ve asked for VAR opinion as in “there is contact to the face from mctominys hand” then play him slow motion and then real time speed and the ref should have the balls to say no foul goal stands.
If the offside line was made through the last defender instead of behind him then it would eliminate the frustration of a lace or flapping shirt ruling out goals .
Bruno fernandes has been doing it all season - but let's sweep that under the carpet 🤣
Definite foul .... Son is lucky to be alive 🙏 ........
He is on life support from what I heard
@@BrianJonesPhotography our hearts and prayers go out to him and his family in there time of need ..... get well soon SON
Comes back to money, job pressure and all that. A player goes down easily to win a freekick/penalty/etc for their team, the manager benefits if they then score, and the owner could then benefit if its for a league or cup win. Basically it comes down to how much money is at stake in these games.
Just make it a rule. If VAR spots diving then it should be a red card.
The screaming that we've had to witness is fucking laughable!! Imagine Mick Harford, Tony Adams, Roy Keane or Andy Gray screaming? They'd get absolutely crucified on a match day for it. They'd never live it down. That'd be from other players!! Nevermind the fans!! But from the other side if you don't scream and feign injury now you get nothing and are ostensibly punished for being honest?
Will you dry up !
Sometimes when players stay on their feet they never get the foul that's why you see players doing what Son is doing now. Players would want to gain an advantage whatever way possible. It's part of the game now whether we like it or not.. the players and refs are both accountable.
Anyone "injured so painfully" should be given a recovery period on the sidelines to ensure no unseen damage.......
Tactics are tactics, players do the job of employing the tactics 🤔🤔🤔
Jamie Vardy: best diver ever. He’s won us loads of points.
Robphurn84. As a Blackburn fan , you will agree with me that David Speedie is the greatest diver of all time.
@@frannyp46 painful, painful memories
Great conversation. The refs have to, have to, HAVE to start booking players left, right and centre for simulation. We'll have matches finishing 9 v 7 but then things will change.
What about the kick on Sean Longstaff
It’s really strange because we all used to call it out in the 70s and 80s when all the foreign players kept diving …and now that’s there contribution and legacy to the English game ..but you commentators won’t call it out for fear of been called rascist.
Danny Murphy saying they don't know because they haven't played the game, fat chance that someone that has would become a referee though is there.
Plus plenty of pundits are also ex-players and seem completely clueless so playing the game at a professional level is no guarantee of competence either.
I have thought this for so many years. Players and ex players are always criticizing refs for having never played the game and therefore not understanding it.
Well where are all these ex players lining up to become referees? Much easier to sit in a comfy studio slating refs.
In fact Jason Mohammad made this point to Alex Scott on MOTD2 and she ignored it.
Spot on. Anyone can be a pundit. Become a should have and could have punter.
Why does Gary Lineker always slap his thighs when making a point? It's like an ocd
About time if you go down then you go off for a minimum of 3 mins for a proper assessment, soon get up again
Referees need to be able to take more control of the game and use VAR as a tool. It is their responsibility to stamp this out the game as it is all due to their lack of consistency and the lack of respect the players have for them.
Refs once a week should have to play the game against other refs and be reffed by a former player
I turned the game off after the goal was not given over Son, I just said to myself I’m not watching that nonsense, it’s destroying the game for a long time now and VAR makes it only worse because the referee could see what we did and still awarded him the foul. Joke.
“I’ve had elbows in the face with my bones showing.” Calm down Danny you lying little sod
Why does it work so well in Rugby
The vast majority of professional players are cheats..Simples..🤷♂️
