Savage Henry Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Farcical rule. Utterly farcical. That’s what it is. The rule is the rule, and its ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keptie Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Another (great) game fucked up by mad rules. Japan didn't deserve that the Dutch must be thinking there name is on the cup after that, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Oh, and Japan absolutely deserve this. They had chance after chance to put this game away. They've been punished for it. f**k em. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm biased obviously, but according to the current laws of the game this is a penalty. Although even as biased as I am, I must admit I don't agree with this being a penalty. Definitely needs looking at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's harsh at times, like it was here, but lack of grey areas mean less refereeing shitebaggery, which is probably a bigger problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Very happy with the win. Although I must admit it wasn't a good game from The Netherlands and Japan could easily have won. They were lucky and definitely need to improve in the next game. This Dutch team can do much better than what they have shown tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 So the rule of the game is now, blooter the ball as hard as you can at their arm and you’ll get a penalty? Mental. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Giving a penalty every time the ball goes into the box would also avoid grey areas, but just like this handball rule it would be utterly stupid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mental. Yep, it's mental. I can be hypocrite and agree with it now it benefits us, but this rule change was not for the better. According to the rules the penalty was the correct decision, no doubt about it. That doesn't mean the rules are fair though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I think the only change I'd make is one which gives leeway to the defender if it looks like the attacker tried to get the handball, like in the CL final where it looked like that was what happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think much was wrong with the old rule of intent. Obviously it can be debatable at times, but this one for example wasn't intentional. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point was that grey areas in the rules existed for a reason - as soon as you try to avoid them you get even more nonsense decisions than you had before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
