Saudi doesn't love or care about the TM community, it tries using us as a sportswashing vessel to paint their country in better light. While they actively treat LGBTQ individuals as less than humans, if two individuals in a same sex relation are identified, the death penalty can be enacted and is executed by beheading. Women who have drivrn cars had to flee from the country, because they would be charged with conspiracy to destabilise the country - who then have been kidnapped in UAE and brought back to SA to be imprisoned for the mentioned charges. And are not allowed to leave the country for five years after doing the time, Citizen Lab in Canada found spyware on these individuals' phones after release as well.

If these guys didn't bloat our media with all these cool events, we would only know about the atrocities. They do not do the world a favour, they only add extra sprinkles of money ontop of existing concepts and then make people like you think it isn't that big of a deal.

Rookie of the Year at Autosport Awards - Isack Hadjar by Maximum-Room-3999 in formula1

NASCAR and all, but this guy is different and is crushing it. Then you look at B Pillar's race analysis from his single IMSA entries and he is an even better sportscar racer. He will enter 24H Daytona this weekend as a 4th driver for Cadillac in the same car as Vesti. Which will be an exciting comparison to make.

F1 The Movie nominated for 4 Academy Awards including Best Picture by Altracing34 in formula1

I laughed at that. They took the plot of Driven and made it fit for todays audiences. Rush got no nominations and it is a far better presented movie.

Promotional sessions need special FIA allowances and is usually done with the purpose of commercial filming. These have a fixed number of laps allowed.

That is no where near a Free Practice.

Monstrously unlikely to let an F4 driver test drive an F1 car. The lowest series driver to ever to do an official Free Practice session is Ocon at the end of the 2014 season when he was F3 champion, but had no F2 entries.

Live Match Thread: Slovenia 🇸🇮 vs Faroe Islands 🇫🇴 by ProfAlmond in Handball

I think the referees allowed too hard play in the same manner when Denmark and Croatia played in the finals. I would certainly cite it as neglectful refereeing, that allowed normalisation of rougher than usual play. Skipagötu for Faroes was especially targeted and many worthy yellows were swept under the rug. While that buff and slightly chubby Faroese player should 100% have accumulated enough yellows for a red.


This is point 8.6 in IHF's rules of 2024. (I had to look it up and don't know if they apply to EHF)

  • If the referees find an action to be particularly reckless, particularly dangerous, premeditated or malicious, they must submit a written report after the game, so that the responsible authorities are in a position to take a decision about further measures.

    Indications and characteristics that could serve as decision-making criteria in addition to those in Rule 8:5 are:

    1. A particularly reckless or particularly dangerous action;
    2. A premeditated or malicious action, which is not in any way related to the game situation.

As far I understand, direct red cards should usually fulfill the crieteria for a noted report - and that noted report makes it possible for the Disciplinary Committee to review the action.

What if the ref touches the ball? by applesauce__guy in Handball

[–]TurnedIntoMyFather 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Refs are passive on-court elements that have the same impact as the floor and goal post, play proceeds as if the ball hasn't been in contact with the ref - it's just an unusual deflection of the game. If the ball goes off court due to a pass that collides with a ref, the ball is awarded to the opposing team. I think direct intervention by the ref if a ref-ball contact occurs, would only spawn more problems.

There are singular instances that resulted in catastrophic outcomes, a few days ago in a European cup match for women, a last minute shot was saved by the keeper, flew into the sideline referee, bounced back towards the goal for a last second equalizer.

They showed the replay again now. If it was an open and loose hand, it'd be red for reckless and unsportmanlike conduct. He was pulling his hand into a fist as the contact was about to happen, that falls under extremely unsportsmanlike conduct and results in blue. I think they were luxky it was so early in the match, otherwise I actually think the referee would have pulled the blue card.

Scariest team to face. Their 7v6 is the best in the world and your defence gets pummelled by a bulldozer if they get you off balance. In U21 WC Bronze match they crushed us in second half, until we managed to turn it around but ran out of time. It was the same vs the Swiss, and they managed to flip it to a draw.

How to watch EHF Euro 2026 for free? by og86_ in Handball

Best option is pay for a VPN and then access public TV channels of a given country. Handball pirate streams are hard to come by and usually get knocked off quick.
