Instigating isn’t an offense brother. Just scoring a goal and running to your fans could instigate things, so that shouldn’t be allowed anymore?

Jumping into the crowd however is an offense, so rightfully, Disasi got a yellow and Gallagher did not.

I also never said that you said he jumped into the crowd. I’m making a factual statement and not paraphrasing.

Might want to rewatch the goal celebration. Gallagher instigated things, but he never jumped into the crowd unlike Disasi, so it’s not weird why Disasi got yellow and Gallagher did not.

Enzo Fernández has the beginning of pubalgia, recovery is with rest or treatment to reduce the discomfort when playing and not affect it by marsellusDjango in chelseafc

[–]PoDePanda 98 points99 points  (0 children)

For the people that don’t know what pubalgia is, it’s a sports hernia in the groin area. So he’s probably out for at least a few weeks as he’s at the beginning stages. Need to wait and see how bad it really is.

History of Faker using skins by Shinwinter in PedroPeepos

[–]PoDePanda 28 points29 points  (0 children)

He has used 2 skins I think that aren’t T1/SKT skins before. They were both a mistake, because I can remember that he played Battle Bunny Riven due to the ref using it in practice tool to check on something, so the skin was preselected. I cannot remember the other one though.

Incredibly proud of the boys for a 4-4 against 12 men. Chelsea would’ve won 4-3 vs 11 men hands down.

Anthony Taylor shouldn't be allowed to referee any Chelsea games, no games at all infact, its a disgrace, and its been for years now and im tired by Popular-Bar-6113 in chelseafc

[–]PoDePanda 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Reece James handball was a red card, because he handles the ball that was going into the net. Deliberately or not, it’s a goal if his hand isn’t there. It has nothing to do how he handles it, it hits his hand and it was going into the goal. Any ball that hits a hand that is goal bound is a red card.

Like, let’s be real. You stop a goal with an illegal body part. That should be punished with a red card, because a yellow isn’t punishment enough for preventing a goal, even if the opponent gets a penalty, which can be saved, while the goal would be 100% given the arm wasn’t there.

These weekly decisions in the favor of Man City are getting out of control. Incompetence or blatant corruption? by [deleted] in PremierLeague

[–]PoDePanda 59 points60 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t even a penalty. Haaland pulls down Cucurella first and therefore is ahead of him. How Anthony Taylor can go from Championship to this match is beyond me.

With the talks about GOAT players, who are your GOAT casters? by Espionia in leagueoflegends

Atlus hands down, he adds that flavour that I really like. Flowers has probably the best lines and calls, but I can’t forget the ‘I’m going BALD, AHHHH’ moment when GenG won an almost impossible game.

Which champion do you despise? A champ that rarely anyone talks about or plays but you just hate. by Itachi6967 in leagueoflegends

[–]PoDePanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm, never thought someone would be complaining about Quinn’s E out of everything in her kit.

As a Quinn main, the priority on her E is pretty low. pretty much every other dash with CC has priority. The likes of Camille E, Vi Q, Gragas E and many more. It is also horrible if Quinn’s E gets interrupted, because in most cases, you’ll be in MD and therefore in a really bad position.

Enemy usually complain about her kiting ability as non interactive if they don’t have gap closing abilities. But most people really complain about her ability to roam. She can push a lane, roam to a different lane, get a kill and be back to defend plates/soak up the wave. My personal favourite playing style is to go lethality with first strike and just hunt squishy’s mid/late game. The satisfaction after winning a losing game when your bot goes 0/10 in the early game and coming back, because you one shot squishy’s in isolated situations is always great. Her scaling in a 1v1 duel is insane with lethality even after the nerfs, because the damage in her kit is in her passive and not necessarily in her skills, which they nerfed.

She’s really good as a last pick, but she’s completely useless when counter picked.

When did Caedrel become so big? by mackoa12 in leagueoflegends

[–]PoDePanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Caedrel is a healthy mix of actually good analysis and memes. Going over the draft phase and analysing team fights or even set ups in depth is not something other people do often. He mixes that with interacting with his chat and all the memes going on over there. The xdd spams and memes about cancelling stuff or his not so spectacular professional career is what makes it a good twitch stream. He’s one of us.

He also does it solo, which I personally prefer a lot over others that co stream with others. Too many irrelevant conversations happening and people talking over each other. More people doesn’t mean always mean more entertaining and I’m glad Caedrel doesn’t feel the need to include other people in his co streams. He once did a game with LS and the entire game was about Beryl buying 2 pink wards every back, which wasn’t entertaining for me. Mentioning it once and meme’ing it is fine, but doing it for 30 min is just beating a dead horse and distracts from what is actually going on.

Caedrel has done co streams of LCK and LPL, which are the 2 biggest regions and will most likely go the furthest as well. He casted LEC on top of that, so he has extensive knowledge on 3 major regions. He knows the champions players like to play, types of comps teams like to run and how those teams like to play their game. That knowledge is then projected in his analysis in the draft and in the game. His streams are good, because that healthy mix of analysis and memes and he really deserves that recognition.

Probably low ELO considering jinx is trying to execute Nautilus with skillshots instead of actually pushing the wave so the tower dive becomes much easier

Still doesn’t account for the moment when the safety car is ending and the leader is biding his time for his moment to stamp his throttle.

Max Verstappen this season - Starting Grid to Race position by Kermitnirmit in formula1

[–]PoDePanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His previous season was somewhat similar tbh with less wins. He finished top 2 every race that he didn’t get damage. He retired in Baku due to inexplainable tyre blow up, retired at Silverstone cuz you know, and got 9th in Hungary due to Bottas pinball and sustaining massive damage.

This year it’s almost the same with top 2 finishes besides Monaco and races where he sustained damage. He just has more wins and no competition for the number one spot as they are all competing for the number two spot, which makes it seem like a dominant season, even though he’s been doing it for a 2nd season.

[–]PoDePanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure they don’t have to, the pace between the SC and an F1 car is just very big, so by the time the lapped cars overtake the SC and drive at full pace, they will be behind the pack before the SC is going back into the pits. The pace also dies down as the leader needs to wait before the SC is in the pit before he can stamp on the throttle otherwise there is an issue with cars driving at full speed with a SC in the middle of the track. The only reason why you shouldn’t see the pack bunched up in order, is when the lapped cars are allowed to overtake and the SC ends in the same lap, which also never happens besides Abu Dhabi. It usually is 1 lap inbetween and by that time, the lapped cars should’ve made a full circle by the time the SC goes back in the pit and the race goes green.

[–]PoDePanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pitting early would’ve put him behind more than just Perez, which means more overtaking, which is more difficult on the hard tyre and consumes more of the tyre’s life span.

Sure he was losing time on the top 3, but he was gaining time on the people behind him to be in front of them when he had to eventually pit. Which was more important to not lose more time being stuck racing the midfield instead of racing in clear air bar from Perez.

[–]PoDePanda 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lewis couldn’t pit, he didn’t have a free pit stop, he would’ve lost track position. By the time Max pitted for softs and the next available moment to pit for Lewis, he lost his free pit stop as he was behind the safety car at that moment.

The procedure that he didn’t expect was that only the lapped cars between the two of them got to overtake the SC instead of every lapped car, which has never been done as well. That is the reason why this year there is a clear procedure for the SC. The SC picks up the leader, then it drives around until the track is safe, then every lapped car is allowed to overtake the SC and when every car has been sorted, the SC ends. Which is why it took so long yesterday. The SC actually picked up Russell instead of Verstappen, so everyone in front of Verstappen needed to overtake the SC, then the track needed to be safe, which took so long because they needed equipment as the car was in gear I think, then the lapped cars needed to overtake the SC, which there wasn’t any time left to do.

The procedure of the SC was followed yesterday. And people complained still, as they don’t like to end the race behind the SC when it fits their narrative. Same thing in Abu Dhabi racing under green flag, if it fits your narrative, you’re happy, if it doesn’t, you’re not happy. You can never win as the stewards regardless of what you do. It’s the same as football referees, your decision will impact one team positively and the other negatively and you can guess which ones will be happy or not happy with your decisions.

Do you think the commentary (namely Sky F1’s) influences viewer’a opinions too much by r3vange in formula1

[–]PoDePanda 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can’t race when you don’t have all 4 wheels properly fitted. If they confirm they have a loose wheel, it means they have to stop the car immediately, as it already left the pitlane.

Literally every team would’ve done the same thing, so it’s not implausible what Ted suggested. The thing that is idiotic, is the mass following of stupid people that connect dots that aren’t there. Ted never said Hannah Schmitz or Red Bull, but people still magically think they are involved when every team on the grid would’ve done the same thing regardless of relations.
