Play can continue and the dive can be reviewed in the booth?

See, this is a legitimate discussion.


The problem you ran into on the match thread was we saw a drive-by posting of 'this is why Americans hate soccer' and assumed that you were just trolling.

Okay, well I apologize.

I'll try to post more intelligent things from now on, then I will be gone again after the cup is over.

(^^That wasn't sarcastic btw)

Maybe you could get MSB and OT posters to stop saying we aren't "red-blooded Americans" or similar anytime soccer comes up on those boards?

I've got plenty of friends that are Soccer fans and they don't have an elitist attitude. It's the board that takes any bit of dissent towards "their board and their sport" and goes apeshit.

The "this is why Americans hate soccer" is 99.9% of the time a troll post. Americans like basketball and there's lists of diving in it so I don't understand that argument personally.

But I do hate diving.

See there you go assuming again. It's not "the board", it's a few posters.

Two years ago I started a thread, not trolling, asking about a rule and was jumped by a good 8-10 posters. Not one person came in and said "hey...ignore them, they are just being assholes"

You can't just go back on a call in the game a few mins later to much shite happens after that.

Nah, that wouldn't work. The retroactive banning might work, but there are no assurances that it would work. Since there is an interpretive aspect to the rules it might not be the end all that people are hoping. It would depend on who was on the committee.

Play can change too much. If you allow play to go on while a ref in a booth is reviewing a dive, you'd have situations where the other team could score before the call came in or have an attacking move halted.

And stopping play to review would disrupt the flow of the match.

You can't give someone a card or penalty for flopping retroactively?

Go start a random soccer thread on the MSB and see how many posters call you gay, commie, etc.

It's not just soccer fans, chief.

If golf games ever ended 1-0 with the one score coming on a flop aided referees decision , then I'd not only listen to his idea to make holes bigger, but would probably support it.

Huh? I expect that crap from the MSB and the OT...

For a sport specific board, nah.
