@Niall how's about we ban all English posters for a couple of weeks seeing as we have no problem doing to anyone else?

Because people think it wasn’t a hard enough tackle, no-one seems to be concentrating of the fact that the moron had absolutely no right to even attempt a tackle there and was miles off the ball.
It’s a foul anywhere else, just as a slight bump in the back is somehow always a foul to a forward or defender shielding a ball.
This was actually a stupid defensive mistake.
Exactly.

Its just the world Vs England.

No cnut likes England. If England play there is no neutral. Yet you get spain and Italy diving all over, being massive knobheads for 90mins and nobody gives a feck. Busquets should have had about 4 yellow cards yesterday just for arguing with the ref.

Really hope this is the beginning of the end for VAR. destroys the game. In that fans can’t celebrate the minute the ball hits back of the net as have to wait and see if it stands. Slow the game down terribly and takes the romance out of it. And now when it really matters in a massive moment in the dying stages of a major semi final it get the big decision wrong.
Totally pointless and has no place in the game.
I think England would have scored anyways as they had all the momentum and were building pressure.
The worst thing with the VAR is that it's actually not made to make games fairer, but to add extra layer of protection for referees. The idea of non-interference with their decisions unless they are making a big mistake is idiotic, and I'm being very polite. Why? Because the referees are obviously important. But why are human referees important for football at all? I hope that one day computers will be able to run the whole game, decide every throw in if needed faster than the error-prone referees. For whatever reason, one group of people is getting protected and their decisions should not be overturned, even if we have evidence that they are in the wrong. Why is the system set up so idiotically when it's purpose in the first place should be to completely marginalize the importance of the referee?

I don't know what's up with people, if VAR isn't going to step in to give the Kane penalty, then it isn't going to rule out the Sterling one.

Both probably the wrong calls, but neither a howler from the ref. I'm not saying it's right, but It's just the way they are using it this tornament.

So, so bitter. The arguing that the second ball made all the difference. Mental.
I honestly hope we smash them. Full on ridiculing.
No, but that is the rule. Sterling was passing very close to it. Obviously you always stop the game in this situations…

It’s not a pen in a million years. It’s not a free kick in a million years. Suck it.

Trying to think of what is Chelsea most infamous bit of pitch "cheating"?

Spunking a load of money doesn't count. I mean during a match, a single incident.
John Terry spitting on Tevez and then scoring the winning penalty in Moscow?

No but if i was seeing a tribe of wound up English fans biting on such a 'historic' night would make me a successful one.

'once in a lifetime im so overwhelmed with joy I can't wait to tell my grandkids... About how i went online arguing about raheem sterling cheating'

Sterling is a cheat, this isn't news. He's just done it at this level now
:lol:

and repeatedly posted bitter and cry more because they dared say it wasn’t a penalty

Laser pens in Kasper's eyes for the penalties as well?

Is their any depth to which the English scumbag won't dive to?
I can only see one scumbag here...

Infuriating that there's enough of these xenophobic morons on this forum that they feel they comfortable enough to be overtly offensive. Imagine the outrage if anyone posted this about any other nationality. The irony is, the English are too generous, and would hold anyone to account for such a comment about any other nationality. Yet they are to apologetic to oppose casual bigotry against themselves, due to a self deprecating and non confrontational nature. Despite this, the anti English bigots continue to be louder and louder.

Hang your head in shame son. Footballs coming home, and it tastes so damn good.

But still connected knee to knee, more importantly absolutely nowhere near the ball when he knocked his knee.
People can argue all they like about soft, but it was a moronic piece of defending and I’d personally be more pissed at my player (Rafael v Leicester was it?) then complaining that it was a massive injustice.

Shite idiotic defending it was, and got punished.

I’ve seen absolutely tonnes of pens given for such, we all have.
You're an amazing poster.

It made no difference whatsoever, the ball is stationary, nobody went anywhere near it, no players complained about it. I doubt they even noticed it.
Seems the only people complaining are the ones who noticed it after watching ten replays.

Rather that than be someone who visits someone’s homeland to enjoy the beauty it provides then calls all of the natives scumbags based on the actions of one individual. Don’t be bitter that your team have not achieved what mine have, look to us for lessons and be in awe of out triple lioned greatness.
i looooove all the bitterness and undeserved hatred, it fuels my soul xxxxx
These posts are great, more please

Nobody is saying it was. But it's the only one given despite var in extra time of a semi final. He's a serial cheat so not surprising

The current rule states that unless its a massive error by the ref they wont overturn it, which clearly is idiotic. The rule should instead be that any decision which changes the nature of the game can be investigated and over turned. The objective should be to have a fairer game as opposed to empowering the ref.

Apparently, Casper was talking about it to the referee.
And so, because no one noticed it, rules should not be enforced ?

By the way, I think England was the better team.

It is a clear penalty to me. How is it not a penalty?
Well I’m personally tilting towards the fact that it’s a penalty as well but I understand why it may not look like a clear one as many others seem to think

It’s not a penalty but I think blatant cheating is a bit much :lol:
It is and it’s a Sterling special. There’s a reason he’s won more penalties than any player in Premier League history. It’s not exactly one of the biggest examples of cheating in history. It’s a fairly standard dive you see about once a week. More if Raheem Sterling is playing that week.

That's the thing though, if sterling hadn't been fouled and the ball had gone to the keeper, he'd not have said anything and carried regardless, in fact I dare say he'd have been sprinting out to launch a counter attack.

They were as good as you in the first half, but in the second they were gassed. Hell they were playing the end of second half of ET with ten men as they made all their subs and could not make anymore, and you still needed a dive to cheat your way through.

What does that say about you, one of the most boring teams who play shit most of the time with the talent that you have. There was no luck, they defended doggedly while you were negative and shit yourself for most of the game.
No, they were shite, created feck all and played for pens from the 30 minute mark. Their Keeper made some superb saves and we were very wasteful.
Basically it’s funny as hell to see all the anti-England mob get so excited that we might not win a game that we clearly were the better team in….only for it to be dashed by a soft pen at the end. Soft pens happen all the time….the wailing and crying is ridiculous. Denmark were cloggers and deserved bugger all

Still makes me laugh that so many people think Chelsea were cheated that night.

I mean, people actually argue stuff like this was a penalty:

Even as a United fan, I don't remember any spitting?
No? It's clear as day, it happened when Chelsea spat their dummy at tevez calling for United to pen them in. Something that they'd been doing themselves mere minutes earlier.
Just after Drogba had been sent off for the weakest slap ever seen. I recall Vidic laughing at him for it....

I might be wrong about the red card timing though. In my defence it was a long time ago.
