  1. VAR and Refs | General Discussion | Forest go into meltdown

    Whether there is any touch isn't clear from available videos. Even if he didn't touch konate it is enough of a dangerous play to warrant a free kick. His boot was dangerously high and close enough to be considered dangerous play and if it was given it wouldn't have been disputed.
  2. VAR and Refs | General Discussion | Forest go into meltdown

    So this isn't a controversy at all then? Because most people can see that it was a high boot and a foul. Whether you see it isn't an issue, because if that was given as a foul, no one would've batted an eye.

    Why are people just ignoring the foul on konate?
  4. Xabi Alonso: Bayer Leverkusen manager - Bundesliga Dinner Plate Winner

    Ligue 1 just doesn't have the potential - it isn't noted too much by the international audience. But Seria A and Bundesliga are. Of these, Bundesliga has the greater potential imo due to better visual appeal created by better stadia and better production. As an Indian, I can attest to what...
  5. City and Financial Doping | Charged by PL with numerous FFP breaches

    Will the penalties be applied for this season, meaning they are out of the title race? It's a given that at the minimum, they will have some points docked, right?
  6. VAR and Refs | General Discussion | Forest go into meltdown

    People need to stop with the conspiracy shit. Every club can bring a case for there being a conspiracy against them based on events and mistakes. The actual issue is the incompetence and lack of practical vision. Scrapping VAR will just make everything much worse.
  7. Will you watch the Women's World Cup?

    You are very invested in this and I understand your emotion. Good for you. But THERE IS a load of irrationality surrounding this hyping up - a disproportionate and pretentious one - and people will continue pointing this out. Other than that , I'm not claiming the support and hype are itself...
  8. Will you watch the Women's World Cup?

    It's all good.. just pointing out that there is an amount of pretending present from some - that it's 'as good'. For ref - see the french ad or some of the media stories. Or the claims here to the effect that those who don't watch are losing out on a spectacle.
  9. Will you watch the Women's World Cup?

    As I said earlier , football is not too serious an issue to be too concerned about the accuracy of arguments. But the narrative thing isn't something I made up - The guardian is the media outlet I read mostly, and the effort the likes of them are putting to hype this up is palpable - it's much...
  10. Will you watch the Women's World Cup?

    If you don't see it, so be it. People perceive things differently - probably coming from what they actually would like to believe. But the media narrative - and also of many of the posters here as well - is that women's football already matches the men's in enjoyability and 'importance'...
  11. Will you watch the Women's World Cup?

    ha ha.. spot on. Was thinking along these lines actually. If it has legs, it'll stand on its own - this is not some life/death or livelihood situation to force an imagined 'justice' onto. Women don't need any patronizing in sports they really do excel - tennis, gymnastics, athletics etc. In...

  13. Virgil van Dijk | Performances

    He was top top class before the injury. But that injury did him really bad. The difference is clear to see.
  14. Messi in Miami

    Still so so good. The goal was also superb.
