Christophe Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 This won't be the reason why they're not allowing it but the way he rolls his foot over the ball isn't allowed. Laws for restarts always state it has to be an 'instantaneous' strike of the ball. But anyway, I'm guessing refs see it as 'unsporting' and using is discretion rather than applying the laws. Dangerous approach from refs but I don't necessarily not agree with it. I'd have no problem with a ref blowing up, if, say, a team that 'should' return the ball to the opposition after an injury doesn't. Because I'd say it's more important not to cause a riot than strictly adhering to rules at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P45 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Worst ever pronunciation of a footballer's name was Gordon McQueen trying to say Ruud Gullit - "the boy Gullet..." Another worthy mention was Shearer (?) trying to say Faustino Asprilla's name which came out as Ass-prilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest_Fifer Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I'm damned sure that Tyldesly would pronounce Jesus Navas as "Hesus Navas". He's just being an arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Townsend should do a bit more research IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7-2 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Tyldesly and Pearce are the worst for picking a random foreigner and deciding to pronounce their name in their language and supposed accent. It's just one step away from shouting louder in English so that johnny foreigner will understand. If you're going to pronounce foreign names as in their own language then do it for them all, not just the occasional one here or there. Why just pick on James? I'm damed sure all the other names aren't pronounced the way we're hearing them. Famously Berbatov's name is pronounced totally differently to what he was called in England and Abramovich isn't as we are used to hearing. Do it properly or not at all. It just sounds ridiculous.

Lordofthewing Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I don' know if I'm mishearing Townsend, but it sounds like he's pronouncing Mario Yepes' surname as "Jepez." This wouldn't surprise me as he comes across as a drooling simpleton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaviliunas Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I can see colombia putting brazil out, rodriguez will run the show and the movement of the forwards will cause a lot of problems. Thanks for winning me that handicap bet too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
