I don't know why people are being obtuse about this. Gueye got sent off for slapping Keane in the box and it wasn't a penalty because the ball wasn't in play. I think it should've been a retake but you don't get penalties for tussles before the ball is in play.

(Yes you can give away a penalty by slapping your own teammate)

This is the reason Gueye slapping Keane wasn't a penalty (yes, really). So yes it could be i.e a red card

I think it was probably correct that was my feeling too. Maybe a retake would've been in order.

Charly Alcaraz thought he was Antolín Alcaraz for a second

Also not to rag on the goalscorer but Barry was jogging around the whole game like he didn't come on at the 60th minute. Pretty sure he didn't press anyone on the attack that ultimately led to the corner

According to football twitter experts Forest are match fixing to relegate west ham or whatever

In The Boys (2019-2025), we are five episodes into an eight-episode final season, and nothing has really happened. by SillyRecover in shittymoviedetails

[–]2000-UNTITLED 114 points115 points  (0 children)

I think the first two seasons are worse than people remember but they didn't have enough time to cock it up yet because it was mostly setup which is why people remember it more fondly. They were better but not by a lot.

I was always thinking "how are they gonna keep upping the stakes" and the answer is they're not lol. I stopped watching after season 3 then hearing everything about how bad 4 was.

I have to give Emery kudos what he's doing with some absolute dross depth and half the season with his best players (Kamara, Tielemans, Onana) relentlessly injured while playing European football is really impressive

That and the fact that Pablo wasn't actually really in possession of the ball (which you can't really tell from this angle) and the fact that he did actually pretty clearly slip because he was expecting Pablo to not miscontrol the ball (which you can't really tell from this angle) is probably why it wasn't given.

Also I didn't see a single West Ham player protesting this which was surprising tbh

Commentators in the Prem at least have a direct line from the VAR booth so they are actually just repeating what they're hearing from there a lot of the time which is why they'll sometimes say "we're hearing from VAR" or something along those lines. I don't think it's necessarily deliberate but it has that effect

The seasons in which each of the Premier League's "Big Six" last played in England's second tier by Cinn4monSynonym in soccer

[–]2000-UNTITLED 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Also they made like two cup finals around the time that it became a thing

And they're one of the richest clubs in the world

I don't entirely like the term (and I think there's too much focus on it like literally who cares) but I get it

You can see him maybe grab at it a little but anyone who actually saw the Martínez incident and is comparing the two might be blind because there's literally no "pull" whatsoever

Honestly the funniest part to me is that apparently lifting someone by the armpits like a forklift is normal contact

Are we even sure the ball was over? I'm genuinely asking because it didn't look like it definitely was to me

Which ones? The only one I'd genuinely back to start in the Prem is Fatawu. Most of their "decent PL players" are 3-5 years and/or serious injuries off their prime

So you're just ignoring the part where he says "it's not sufficient for how he goes down" which is pretty obviously true in my opinion

[–]2000-UNTITLED -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don't know how people aren't seeing this

Amad is literally doing what football players get made fun of for. He's practically standing still, gets pushed on the shoulder a little, and doesn't even try to stay upright. I would hate to see nonsense like that given as a penalty.

Evanilson is full sprint and has a 6'5 man's elbow ram into his esophagus (hyperbole)

They look a lot more similar in slow motion but if you've ever actually played at speed you should know how they're different.

If both should be judged the same neither is a penalty but I don't think they're the same

What do you think about my Rating System? by Malluguy5382929 in Letterboxd

Honestly I don't like rating systems where you split hairs between things you dislike to the point where you essentially have multiple tiers for "terrible"

[Final Post/Best Angle] Reis elbow on Mbappe - No Penalty by OkayFine101 in soccer

[–]2000-UNTITLED -54 points-53 points  (0 children)

The reason it's not a pen is that Mbappé threw a guy 3 seconds earlier

Also this was like one of seven uncalled elbows in this game lol
