GordonS Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 This is all my fault. Just before kick off I bought tickets for the last 16 game in Grenoble, after refreshing the FIFA ticket site every 5 minutes for three days. Category bloody 1 as well. If this ends up a draw (or worse), even if we get through we could be in Le Havre.Jinxed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I heard if we were through we were 95% playing Germany on Saturday? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustOneCornetto Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Far too casual taking that, bloody hell it's a retake 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG.Roma Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Right, delighted France have the lead, but that's a farce. I don't see that new rule lasting, far too much faffing around and time lost to pedantry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepper Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Never a pen, harsh a f**k retake. Double kick to the fud! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alert Mongoose Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Might as well just give the trophy to France as it appears that it has been decided by the powers that be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keptie Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I should be happy but really didn't like that pen retake. Taking the piss, no way would that have happened if at the other end of the pitch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Her back foot must have been about 2 inches in front of the line. An utter nonsense, but we'll take it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flash Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Looking forward to retakes in penalty shoot outs. Especially if a team is celebrating getting through after a miss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tout P'ti FC Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Has a keeper ever been sent off in a penalty shoot out? The QOS keeper came pretty close in the Partick Thistle final, but that was for epic attempts to wind up the opposition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Heliums Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) Would love to see this tournament be the death of VAR, but the big teams and the big countries will want to keep it. It works in their favour. PS: Everyone agree to shut the f*ck up about referees in the Premiership next season, aye?

Spectre Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 How does it work? I thought I heard if we were through we were 95% playing Germany on Saturday?To clarify (according to Wikipedia) who the third place teams play depends on the 4 groups in which the teams qualify from. The remaining possible combinations which would require us to play in Le Havre vs France all involve the group C third place not qualifying, which for various reasons is really unlikely. Essentially Italy would have to hammer Brazil, in a game they just need to draw (or could even lose) and finish top. Hopefully that makes sense 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-MAN Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 BBC Commentators with fingers crossed hoping Nigeria would score there at the end. Even calling for the GK to come up for the FK. I’m sure they wouldn’t be saying that if it was to knock their fuckn Lionesses oot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar P Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Her back foot must have been about 2 inches in front of the line. An utter nonsense, but we'll take it.Does VAR not also check the attacking players entering the box as the penalty is struck or is that deemed a lesser offence? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 Does VAR not also check the attacking players entering the box as the penalty is struck or is that deemed a lesser offence?Depends whether they're African or not.That was really grim, if that happened to us... it would be typical, really. We'd be going batshit crazy. Weird being the beneficiary though.We watched the second half in the bar on the campsite here, we were getting funny looks from the French as we were more into the game than they were. They'd have been fine with a draw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to the law change the GK was supposed to have both feet on the line, but that was rarely enforced which is one of the reasons why they changed it to only one foot on the line - don't have a problem with that, easier for refs to spot two feet off (especially with VAR to enforce it). 10 minutes ago, Oscar P said: Does VAR not also check the attacking players entering the box as the penalty is struck or is that deemed a lesser offence? Only seen a side-on view of the first penalty which shows both teams are encroaching - therefore it's a retake. The GK infringing is the more serious offence though. http://www.theifab.com/laws/chapter/34/section/119/ There's a table of various scenarios as well: http://www.theifab.com/laws/chapter/34/section/119/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
