Zathras 234 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Fucking dirty Italian bastards! Pablo got the ball on that tackle--yellow yes, red no way. And Pope's two yellows were bullshit. How can you give him two yellows and nothing to Onyewu?? Or Nesta for that matter. Horribly inconsistent refereeing although it did end up being a hell of a match. 150130[/snapback] Mastroeni's tackle was horrible and he clearly went for the player instead of the ball. 150225[/snapback] As I said, he got the ball. Deserved a yellow though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way it's a red in a match where the referee isn't looking to give the Italians a make-up call. Nor if it's an Italian player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 If he got the ball, why do you think it was a yellow? That angle makes it look like he didn't get it anyway. Studs up, dangerous challenge. Ref got it spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathras 234 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Because even if he got the ball, it was a reckless challenge, worthy of a caution. But he did get the ball. I watched it several times in slow-motion on High definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 He didn't get the ball, but under the rules they've currently brought in for this world cup for reckless lunging tackles the ref could have given a red even if he did touch the ball.

Jimbo 133 Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 Both feet, showing studs, late, didn't win the ball. Red card no question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathras 234 Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 I thought he got the ball in real time, and had my original view confirmed with slo-mo. Face it, if it had been Gerrard or Parker you'd be screaming for the referee to be hanged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 133 Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 Not at all, I call a spade a spade, and that was a sending off offence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathras 234 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 (edited) Of course, this was called a foul on Pope. At least this was correctly called. Edited June 19, 2006 by Zathras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
