re: Handball practically in the goal
Posted by plaxico on 7/3/10 at 1:00 am
[quote]Because the bottom line of what happened is a player committed an ejection offense that changed a 100% SURE GAME WINNING GOAL into something that is not a sure thing[/quote]
but, there are so many different situations that could occur that could call for that rule to be employed. like i've...

[quote]One thing I think many of us are missing in this controversy is the split second decision Suarez made on the play.[/quote]
yeah, but i think that some of that comes from the "oh, shite!" moment that comes from a last gasp defending effort. i don't even think that it was malicious, "i'm goin...

yeah, but i think that in borderline decisions, it could play its role. maybe something looked dangerous, but the referee wasn't sure. i could see it playing its role there, but i think for the most part, referees are aware of that shite, maybe too aware....

[quote]But the game's rules are fricked and the powers are so attached to tradition that they refuse to respond to the issues that are oddly enough, brought about by the increasing talent of the players.[/quote]
it's a pretty infuriating game to follow on any level, but it's especially infuriating...

[quote]IDK, I don't think it'd be that hard. It'd come down to three questions. [/quote]
i think it could work if it was that specific, but i don't really see the point. what separates a guy with his foot on the goal line from any other handball in the vicinity of the goal line? i agree with the ...

[quote]It wouldn't be that hard to determine[/quote]
the rule would have to be VERY specific.
i'm just not comfortable with a referee having the ability to [u]directly[/u] affect the scoreline by penalizing the offending team.
with 360 degree, high def camera coverage for replays, sure, but...

[quote]Of course its part of the game but I don't know why that's a good defense for it whether you agree with the rule or no[/quote]
i think it's one of those "where do you draw the line?" problems. where the line is positioned just happened to frick ghana in the arse tonight....

re: Handball practically in the goal
Posted by plaxico on 7/2/10 at 9:12 pm
[quote]That being said, there should be a clause in the rulebook that allows a ref to award a goal if a handball occurs on the goalline on a ball that would otherwise be heading into the net.[/quote]
that's too arbitrary. there would be some terrible fricking decisions (see: usa facehand). there's...
re: Why the frick is a jersey called a "kit"
Posted by plaxico on 7/1/10 at 11:55 pm
by definition, it's not really called a kit. a kit would be everything that you'd use to play. which makes sense i think. i don't use it, though....

[quote]Haha Arsenal FC in california has no relation to the actual Arsenal in the premier league. Teams in the US do that with some youth teams just because they either respect the club or think its cool to be named that.[/quote]
that was the case, but recently, many teams have been forming legit...
