England v République de Colombie

[GraemeS]

Well your going round in circles, how are we still having a conversation when my point was either way used or not used VAR got it wrong.

Just drop it, this is boring. If you're really interested, message me after the match when I'm not on my tablet. If you're not, stop trying to wind me up.

Extra card for the guy marking the spot...

Columbia players roughing up the penalty spot.

We could have 30 mins of IJ before the 30mins of ET....

This is such poor game management and stems from Fifa’s alleged instructions on yellows. Geiger is normally fantastic in MLS and is clearly struggling with not being able to use his cards

I woudnt waste my time Graeme, all I said is either way used or not used VAR was wrong on the Henderson decision.

You respond & now play the victim, we agree on something though very boring.

In fairness 45 seconds of that was Geiger telling players not to encroach.

Stones could be in trouble there....

Why was he arguing, better get away.

I think the ref has been good
Not his fault

 

[lincs22]

Remember when I said that VAR was an awful idea......and loads of posters criticised me for it?

Anyone having a change of heart yet?

VAR just gives players more reasons (in their mind) to argue about decision, as there does not appear to be a downside - YC for dissent.

Disagree. The Henderson incident happened because he'd stuck himself in the middle of a wall and couldn't see the contact. Dissent all over the place. Ineffective pointing at shoving players.

EDIT: he's using cards to get a grip on it now which is good, but would have been much better 20 mins ago.

I’ll go as far as to say this is the most verbaly disgusting antics I’ve ever seen by a single team.

This goes beyond sport or football.

 

[Jorik0907]

Don't even think Geiger's done much wrong here. Bit weird to see Maguire diving. Tough game to ref this one

 

[Big Cat]

The ref has been subjected to very difficult circumstances not of his making

 

[lincs22]

Colombia have "lost in", this could be blood bath in terms of cards.

As long as England keep their heads, Colombia won't finish with 11.

 

[Sheffields Finest]

Refs lost the plot! Rabbit in headlights

Every Columbian could (should?) have a yellow for dissent or fouls ... Some more than 1 ... Matter of time as long as England remain calm
