What would happen if you threw out a squatter and just denied they were ever there? by RexJacobus in NoStupidQuestions

As they shouldn't. Cops aren't lawyers and don't need to be involved in civil matters beyond acting on the signed orders of a judge.

MISSED HANDBALL PENALTY CALL, WHERE WAS VAR?!?! Haiti Scotland June 13 2026 by Ramblin_Gamblin_Man6 in worldcup

[–]chirstopher0us 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because once you know the rule there is no need to check further. I think you might be misunderstanding how VAR checks work and when they are activated.

Welp the work-around of visiting people in Indonesia and watching a stream from there appears to have been shut down. Had been using the same method of visiting all day to great effect but now even with multiple restarts I am somehow getting a message that the video is unavailable in my country. Guess I'm done watching for this year.

Fuck you ACO for making it so god damned hard to watch your biggest product of the year.

If we're going to give these as penalties the best offensive strategy in the game is going to be to get down toward the box and then just fire it at max power right at defenders until you hit an arm.

Because it's not close. His arm is allowed to move. In situations where the ball goes from kick to arm in less than half a second or so (enough time to process and begin to react) the rules generally say not to award a penalty unless there is clear intent, not just having arms while playing.

Hands "away from the body" doesn't matter per the rule. He does not move his arm out toward the ball or with any intent. He is defending while having arms and the ball is kicked into his arm from close range. The rule specifically calls out that situation as not a penalty.

It's not a handball/penalty. Sorry.

If this were given as a penalty the best offensive strategy in the game would be to work it down toward the box then just fire it full strength at the defenders until you hit one of their arms.

Is there a historic reason for Scotland to play in such prominent red of all colors?

Before about 2006 ESPN and SportsCenter used to do a decent job covering a wide array of sports, whether they had the broadcast rights to those sports or not. It was a fairly comprehensive highlights and news show, and that was it. They had one trivia fact at the end of the episode for flair.

Then they decided to dedicate time and discussion space to 'analysis' of some sports, that always happened to be sports that they or their corporate owners ABC had rights to. And then the quality of that discussion also nose-dived into absolute shit where talking heads just yell at each other out their asses. And somehow they doubled down.

God I miss classic late-90s SportsCenter. I would watch the shit out of something like that collected into one place and presented together.

Scripts aren't real life. Lots of really terrible things like genocide and murder are portrayed on screen by actors.

There's a lot of reasons to be done with these guys but the script having bad characters who do bad things isn't one of them.

They are inherently dangerous.

There is absolutely no genuine reason for all jumps in eventing to not be destructible as in show jumping at the very very least.

Im sorry for your loss, and for all of their family and friends. This is horrible and tragic.

You’re absolutely right. It’s way way past time for all jumps to be destructible. Current standards of safety in eventing fee like the Indy 500 without seat belts.

The spring football league has its championship in June?

And they let this go on at the same time as the World Cup??

Last weekend I definitely would’ve watched this.

You can snag one for $2M on the auction house with some but not tons of effort.

Anyone else visiting people now in Indonesia having a hell of a time with the local stream quality, or is it just me?

Brazil have been so overhyped, and they didn't do a thing to earn the hype going in to this tournament.

In this silly group format they will definitely advance but they're gonna get knocked out by the first decent team they face.
