Papa Lazaru 0 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Figo should have been off and if the ref had booked players for diving there'd have only been 3 or 4 left on the pitch. Portugal without Deco and possibly Ronaldo.. working out alright for lucky Sven 153283[/snapback] Yeah, if you can't be a good manager be a lucky one!

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 (edited) I hadn't relaised Figo got booked for that headbutt and thus can't be done after the macth by FIFA. Now that was bad refereeing to give a yellow for a deliberate headbutt! Edited June 25, 2006 by Papa Lazaru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34435 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 So Figo can't be punished for the headbutt because the ref gave him a yellow for it?! That's mental. I would give that ref the final tbh. Guaranteed it wouldn't be dull. All of the players on both sides were idiotic btw. They knew the ref had a screw loose, so instead of keeping their noses clean they all acted the idiot.

Stay on your feet, don't jump in, don't hold onto the ball or get involved in anything its not hard, but they all lost it. Its one thing England have, that as a team they keep it pretty calm and sensible on thatf ront. They may have the odd indivisual who has their moments but we'd probably have won that game by virtue of keeping more players on the pitch!

Remeber Rivaldo getting away with that disgracefull incident when he got the Turkish player sent off purely on the basis that he's Rivaldo and plays for Brazil, others would have been banned.

DanTheMan 0 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I think according to FIFA guidelines nearly all the yellow cards were correct. Sad, but its the way it is at this World Cup. I'll do my nut in if Blatter criticises the ref, seeing as he is the person who introduced these mental guidelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the players have to take their share of the blame for their antics, whether it was stupid fouls, handballs and obstructions, or diving and feigning injury to get people in trouble.

spongebob toonpants 3602 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Sweet mother of Jesus that match was enjoyable. what is with the commentators giving it the "ruined as a spectacle" shite, I enjoyed every minute.

DanTheMan 0 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 (edited) Yep, he was certainly consistent, if he eased off at the end people would have complained as well. Apparently Blatter said on Portugese TV the ref 'deserves a yellow card'. How does this man earn 100K+ a year again?

He had to bow down to FIFA regulations, but was left with no choice in many decisions due to the unbelievable behaviour of both sets of players (but mostly the Portuguese). But there were a lot of totally wrong decisions. Boularouz should have been sent off earlier. Figo should have got a straight red for his headbutt. When Boularouz got finally sent off it was a free kick at most. And that's just the big decisions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of tales of dodgy payments and gifts to FIFA member. Why couldn't Johansson have won the election instead? Grr, he really annoys me.

But Blatter does seem to be in a league of his own for bullshit, incopetence, blaming others, wasting money, doing nothing required but loads not required, interfering where he shouldn't but not intervening where he should and generally being a complete and utter tosser!

TheInspiration 1 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 (edited) Quality game. Personally, I think the referee's worst mistakes actually were not booking Cocu and not sending off Figo. Come to think of it, Robben deserved red for that laughable dive alone. Edited June 25, 2006 by TheInspiration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
