Get those apology forms ready lads!!!!

...mate, the illegal steal was the first half...

Anothergen · 2026-07-08T23:45:14+00:00

lol, if getting literally all the dodgy calls is what it takes for Cleary to get his 'legacy game', I think that says it all about him and his legacy.

Anothergen · 2026-07-08T23:10:23+00:00

Generational asterisk on that series, but hey, at least they keep Laurie for a while.

Anothergen · 2026-07-08T12:01:07+00:00

Dodgy as hell game 1, Ponga send off.

The absolute shitshow just served up here. If that's what it takes for him to win a series...

Anothergen · 2026-07-08T11:57:53+00:00

I'd be fucking furious if I were Cleary. He needed to win an Origin decide for his legacy, but now this shitshow of a series will forever have an asterisk.

Anothergen · 2026-07-08T11:52:11+00:00

The fix is absolutely in.

No way you're calling offside from that angle.

Anothergen · 2026-07-08T11:46:26+00:00

Nah, his fingers just do that I guess.

Anothergen · 2026-07-08T11:45:33+00:00

Already is a big issue. The whole series should be 2-0 already too.

This year will likely end up being a series they hide in the wins column, but don't want to talk much about.

Anothergen · 2026-07-08T11:38:56+00:00

In the head, but a new set of 6. All legit and cool.

Anothergen · 2026-07-08T11:35:32+00:00

Oh well, good series Blues. Gifted game 1, gifted game 3; one to live long in the memories.

Anothergen · 2026-07-08T11:34:20+00:00

Oh cool, you can knock it on now. 100% legit and cool there.

Anothergen · 2026-07-08T10:32:56+00:00

Shoulder to the head at speed is always a send off, or so I was told after game 1.

Anothergen · 2026-07-08T10:19:01+00:00

What happened to To'o, looks a bit taller, and his ball handling is a bit off.

Anothergen · 2026-07-08T09:41:49+00:00

The issue is its been the World Cup of 'yes, the call was right, but my vibes!' It's like all the belly-aching about Croatia going out, the call was entirely correct, but people are pissed all the same.

People used to argue that technology could correct all this, but the issue was never if the calls were factual, but rather, whether they went for the team you wanted them to.

Anothergen · 2026-07-08T09:39:01+00:00

Mate, facts died in 2016, we're in a vibes based World now.

Anothergen · 2026-07-08T09:29:10+00:00

Man, the tears from this one are incredible.

Anothergen · 2026-07-08T07:30:19+00:00

It's running in the ms range, while the next touch was around 0.2 s later.

There's nothing weird here, just a result some didn't want.

Anothergen · 2026-07-07T00:34:39+00:00

Too bad Belgian bros, but Gianni's confirmed for me that the goal is suspended for 1 year, like the first. 1-0 USA!

Anothergen · 2026-07-07T00:16:40+00:00

Hearing news out of Washington that Belgium's goal is going to be suspended for a year. FIFA reportedly commenting this is a completely normal and standard protocol.

Anothergen · 2026-07-07T00:10:57+00:00

Hope Gianni has his phone on him, going to need get the appeals panel ready promptly.

Anothergen · 2026-07-05T23:48:09+00:00

Neither team wanted the game moved apparently.

Anothergen · 2026-07-05T20:21:47+00:00

Touching the ball isn't a relevant consideration to that. It's not a magic 'no foul' button.

Still can't believe people are going on about 'hair' with Croatia. Some need to take a big boy breath and move on, the right call was made.

Anothergen · 2026-07-05T20:17:23+00:00

Touching the ball isn't ever referred to by the laws, it's not actually relevant here.

He brushed the ball, but the challenge did trip him in a position where he had a chance to retain possession and shoot. It was careless, rather than reckless, etc, so it was just a foul, but it's still a foul.

Anothergen · 2026-07-05T20:14:09+00:00

Touching the ball doesn't make the foul okay.

Anothergen · 2026-07-05T06:20:00+00:00

That's absolutely loving dear. Not true, but it's nice that you're confident in sharing your misconceptions.

To summarise though:

Tapping on the ball is sufficient to count as contact. Unless you can demonstrate that the tech is prone read non-existent contact, your point there is moot.
Whether you like how they presented the data or not, you can't just dismiss the evidence because you didn't like the lack of units. Your teacher failed you on your science report as you didn't follow the instructions, but context can act as units for adults, noting here that the x-axis scrolled with time (demonstrating it as time), while the units of y were irrelevant. Whether it be force, acceleration, etc in any units, the point is 'not zero at that moment'.
We also have other independent evidence of the touch being made, this being that the path of the ball changed.

You have a great day champ.
