This one does my head in - laws are a set of rules. It is not wrong to call them rules imho

Puma kit so at least this season or last. I think we'd be lying if we all hadnt accidentally on Purpose ran in to the manager who keeps coming out of his TA and failed to heed the 4567 warning they'd previously been given. This is a bit of a step up from that though...

I'll be honest. It was how football should be played imo. 1 team trying to outscore the other. Pure entertainment.

Try telling the team denied a penalty that! And would take some quick thinking. Not disagreeing with you, necessarily, btw

This still appears to show the ball being out but it is far from conclusive. A ball that's in would look very clearly out from this angle so there's no way I would hang my hat on very clearly out. It's likely, but not clearly. And as I said it's very much a sideshow to the main cause of the...

I mean it's impossible for us to tell from here, conclusively, that the ball was out of play but in the absence of any indications from the refereeing team the problem lies squarely with the players imo. Factually if the ball was in or out is a sideshow here because sometimes we get decisions...

If it was a sub it can only be a yellow. The red card for delaying opponent restart applies to team officials only.

Assume exception due to "especially a head injury"

No caution for 6 or 7 Argentina players running in from distance though...

MrsL said that after 2 minutes 🤣 Given how some other games have gone Argentina might not even get a caution.

I can't think of any penalties that have been given where the attacker has bumped into the GK. If anything that usually goes the other way. And certainly no one on here is supporting that either. If you are referencing Kane's tendency to bump into players who are in the air they have rarely...

I really can't think of many example of this a) being said by the majority on here and b) penalties being awarded in these scenarios.

Do they?
