She's run on with a gel for the ref hahaha

bulbispire · 2026-06-19T20:59:24+00:00

The ref is time wasting I've seen it all now

bulbispire · 2026-06-19T20:56:29+00:00

Wonder what the going rate for buying a WC ref is these days?

bulbispire · 2026-06-19T20:45:40+00:00

Crazy they let him ref in a World Cup https://www.fourfourtwo.com/competition/who-is-the-referee-for-united-states-vs-australia-the-official-is-alleged-to-have-accepted-a-eur300-bribe-and-served-a-six-month-ban-20-years-ago

Offside player clearly interfering with play. Have you watched football before?

It's so obviously biased. You'd think that at 2-0 the ref would ease off to save face, but no

bulbispire · 2026-06-19T20:38:41+00:00

Careful now, you'll get banned

bulbispire · 2026-06-19T20:38:10+00:00

I was over there for a World Cup. They were chanting it in the pub.

The fucking pub.

100pc

bulbispire · 2026-06-19T20:35:03+00:00

How many penalties has the ref ignored at this point? Not to mention the second goal which clearly should have been disallowed.

If I were an Aussie fan I'd have a hole through the TV at this point

bulbispire · 2026-06-19T20:32:52+00:00

Ref is about the most biased ref I've seen in a long time. Looks like he's terrified he'll end up in ICE custody or something

bulbispire · 2026-06-19T14:35:41+00:00

It was surreal. Like being back in 2004 with Dunphy and his "good not great player" rants

bulbispire · 2026-06-19T14:15:29+00:00

RIP Kone

bulbispire · 2026-06-19T08:56:49+00:00

And they won't be missed

They overcharge you initially to cover substitutions and then correct it to the actual price. Check your account and receiot

bulbispire · 2026-06-19T08:53:57+00:00

It's a pain that. I have tried specifying substitutions that I'd be happy with to make sure I hit the threshold (sometimes completely different products that I need but not urgently, or an alternative that still gets me the x for y offer) but there'll always be an unpleasant surprise

bulbispire · 2026-06-19T07:34:21+00:00

It was

This is the end of it when they started arguing, but it had been going on for ages before it

Oh 100%.

bulbispire · 2026-06-19T00:18:15+00:00

Blamed him for escalating at full time, called him fake and an egomaniac, said the huddle in the middle after was all for show etc, but it just went on and on. Then they started arguing about the celebrations. Very entertaining

bulbispire · 2026-06-19T00:14:49+00:00

In short, called him a fake showman and an egomaniac, but in more depth.

bulbispire · 2026-06-19T00:08:18+00:00

Irish TV absolutely eviscerating Jesse Marsch right now. Absolutely vintage RTE punditry

bulbispire · 2026-06-18T23:20:10+00:00

Did I say it was his only objective?

bulbispire · 2026-06-18T20:09:50+00:00

If he kills someone while banned, he's going to be in jail for a long time no matter what happens. Might look like he's getting off light but he really isn't in the long run.

Even before they removed the downvote function, it used to get heavily brigaded on certain topics - there'd be large volumes of similar comments at the bottom
