Rd 16 - Early Beers 3.00pm Sat 25th vs Burnt Chickens

[true believer]

Herrington has been very good.

Looks strong .but has confused feet .
Against japanese technical quality

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

I'm glad we have own own kiwi, listening to theSkyy commentators

Always makes them a little less biased.

 

[marinermick]

Kaltak drags his leg behind him. It's careless and he affected play.
It's the sort of decision that encourages diving

Though I was disgusted to see the little cheating prick pretend he got hit in the face

You said it - encourages diving. No foul

 

[marinermick]

That’s thirty mentions of KB in forty-five minutes. Insane. Thank God Theo was only down three times.

 

[Tevor]

Yep Kaltak had planted his feet and Naga what ever stepped into it. Correct decision. I like Japanese players but gee they are soft.

You said it - encourages diving. No foul

I think you misinterpreted.

He goes down there it's a penalty. It's a problem that players get punished for staying on their feet.

If it's not a foul then it can't be a decision that encourages diving

I think we are the better team but their counter is dangerous.

You said it- encourages diving. Foul.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Have we worked out why nix are in their away strip?

Did our kit person pack the wrong kit?

 

[FFC Mariner]

We have come out flat.
Needs to get Diesel off before he gets sent off

 

[Yorkshire Mariners FC]

Theo can go to the bench now.

 

[Lexi]

Anyone else having issues with the paramount audio?

Always, but sometimes no audio is a good thing.

 

[Ads]

Playing with fire a bit now.

 

[Ads]

We need a spark.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Christ, our shooting is worse than usual today.

We keep skying the damn thing

 

[marinermick]

You said it- encourages diving. Foul.

Why is diving a foul?

They have an arrangement with sponsors to play in the black kit at home for a certain number of games

Why is diving a foul?

As mentioned in the commentary, if he goes down under contact (diving) instead of trying to stay on his feel. Penalty. The striker should not be punished for trying to stay on his feet. Hence, it encourages the striker to go down next time, which is not what we want to see.

Since has contact been a foul? Isn’t football a contact sport?

Why is diving a foul?

Huh? Nobody ever said it was. I said you have to dive for a foul to not be ignored.






If a player is fouled and stays on their feet it's rarely given.







Never in the box. .







Therefore, if a player knows/believes he's been fouled, the smart thing to do is fall over.







The way the game is refereed encourages- even requires- players to dive.







And the reason for that is the complexity of refs under pressure to not give decisions unless they absolutely have to, let the gane flow etc. Same sort of issue leading to so much of the lotg being ignored
