The red card was as dodgy as the penalty.
No. They'd only say that a replay may have been possible IF the replay wasn't needed - like in the Australia Croatia game.hey do you guys reckon there might be the slightest chance that they will re-consider the penalty? anyone?
fuck that. if i am shit at my job, i'd have it pointed out to me and rightfully so. if a ref has a shit game or makes a major mistake he should cop it and shouldnt be protected by all this he's only human bullshit.Komit said:....and everyone should stop bagging out refs. They are only human. We have the benefit of replays over and over again whereas they have a split-second. I think most people should stop being sour cunts and look ahead.
I completely agree and couldnt have said it better. Im just glad there are some people who realised that this result doesnt taint football at all. It may or may not have been a bad decision, but it wouldnt be the first nor the last, its the nature of the game. Im just about fed up with being attacked for being italian - to the extent where im starting to fight back now. Its not as if the Italian community had any bearing on the match, they simply cheer for their nation with all their heart and hope to win.Komit said:I have to say I'm very disappointed with the reaction to this. This is football and everyone should come to grips with it. Although I stand by the fact that it was a penalty, I still believe that it should not have been called. HOWEVER, some of the atittudes coming through such as calling FIFA "mafia organisation" and negatively branding the world game has disgusted me, to say the least. The true football fans will realise that this is what happens in the sport and you must pull through it. The bandwagonners will ditch the game and continue to give it a shit name ion Australia - that until the Socceroos do an awesome job again. So, for everyone out there giving up hope on football.....go fuck yourselves.

Yeah, that's my view again. I don't think it was our fault the penalty was awarded, but we really should have been leading at that point anyway.bazookajoe said:So in overall fairness, it's us who lost the match. Most of the team played horribly, bar our defense, and couldn't score with a one man advantage for over half an hour. Guus should also take some of it as he brought on Aloisi too late and didn't even consider bringing on anyone else before extra time. He should have been trying to gain through the opportunity presented to us from the red card, but we couldn't.
if a ref is shit, then there shouldn't be any problem in saying he was shit. he decided the course of the game that was still in the balance, he fucked up and there's nothing wrong with people having a bitch about it.Komit said:Don't compare your job to his job. He should cop criticism but it should be limited - not to the extent of blaming everyone else in the FIFA executive.
