541ntees Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 Valiant in defeat the men’s team used to be like that but now we r just honking. never a pen and these stupid hand ball decisions are becoming far too frequent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abernethy Saint Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Decent first game. Don’t think we deserved a draw, it could have been 5 - 0 at HT. The second teams AND the four best third teams go through, so if we play to our level against Argentina and Japan we should go through. Enjoyed the game. I think it’s got a long way to go, but I noticed the goalies in particular are getting a bit less awful. What seems to be missing most is technique and physicality, and both can be worked on. south inch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have revised the handball rule and it is going to be greatly annoying from now on. 541ntees 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched Canada score against Cameroon and thought about qualifying your remark about goalies to "some" goalies. But then I remembered a certain male goalie who made a similar mess of coming for a corner and I thought give the lassie a break at least she knew she had made the wrong call and did not try to pretend she had been hit by a number 10 bus to cover it up.

Criminal to be losing from that position with 20 mins to go. Felt that Kerr should have freshened the team up earlier as some of them looked as slow as Roddy in the second half! Been a bit naive tactically all tournament I feel Cuthbert a cracking wee player. As for VAR - I hope everyone who lobbied for it to be introduced has been watching the utter shambles it's created in this tournament.

south inch Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Cricket took a decade to develop DRS/VAR to the point of being ridiculous but football appears to have managed it in a matter of months! jez1971 and cristo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

541ntees Posted June 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Anther stupid handball in the Sweden Canada game last night - thankfully the keeper saved it. going back to the Scotland game var just about got the right decisions and I was under the impression that keepers weren’t allowed to move off their line anyway? even if var does help get the right decisions here’s my main gripe- one of the best feelings in life is when your team hits the back of the net, it’s now getting to the point that when your team scores there’s no point in celebrating cos there gonna check it and a good chance it doesn’t count Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garydavidson Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Yes the problem with the new rules and VAR is they judge it to a millimetre. If the keeper doesn't have a part of their foot in line with the goal line then a retake is ordered. Seems they haven't bothered checking players encroaching into the box though, unless that rule has been scrapped? I am not a fan of VAR but the standard of officiating at the world cup really hasn't help matters. When that is combined with some awful new rules it really kills the game for me.

south inch Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Commentator on the England v Norway game remarked that the standard of refereeing in this World Cup is dramatically better than at the last one 4 years ago. So it must be possible to be worse than feckin awful then! Mind you I do remember one incident where a player successfully argued against being booked for handling the ball in the penalty area on the rather novel grounds that she was the goalkeeper.
