EPL Matchday 2 - On Optus Sport

The real story is the lack of sponsor no Forests shirt

Will probably become iconic because of the lack of one

Love seeing Forest back in the top flight. Them, the Sheffields and Sunderland are the heart of football.

The longer Wednesday spend down in the shitter the better.

I can understand hating Leeds or Millwall but what did Wednesday do?

lol

I think he just hates Wednesdays and anything associated with the day. It's an annoying day.

Thank god they weren't named after the Monday cricket club.

They had a history of talking s**t like Leeds fans did about how big they are and how small and s**t "insert lower league team" was when they were in the same division as them.

And we had play-off history with them.

Would have had to move to look around Koulibaly anyway. The ball went right across him (possible slight deflection from memory) so his view would be blocked either way imo.

But that still misses the point. Whether he had to look around Koulibaly or not, or whether he would have made the save or not, is irrelevant. We don’t know what could or could not have happened, but what we do know is one bloke was clearly in an illegal position blocking the play.

Harsh example, but the same way a drunk driver cleans up and kills someone who walks out in traffic. He might have hit them anyway and the alcohol might not have necessarily been solely to blame, but no one gives a sh*t, because he’s drunk and he rightfully gets the book thrown at him

I loved Tuchel's post match interview. Completely made a joke out of it, didn't care and just rolled with it.

I didn't. Came off as a whinger and a deflector. Will make a good German Chancellor.

Tuchel was shook. What do spurs do to these over-entitled German coaches?

 

[Sozabarus]

They mostly just get beat by them.

Tuchel is 7 wins and a draw in his 8 games vs Spurs. I'm sure he'll be alright

 

[Bradesmaen]

3 draws from 4 matches against Klopp and Tuchel in the league for Conte. He fairs better against Klippity Klopp than Tuchel (2 losses in the league cup added in).

That's a contender for worst analogy of all time.


Here's the rule:
A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched* by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by:

• interfering with play by playing or touching a ball passed or touched by a team-mate or
• interfering with an opponent by:
  • preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision

Mendy had a direct view of the ball when it was shot. He made a play at it. He didn't reach it.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Mendy had a direct view of the ball when it was shot.

No he didn't

 

[Bradesmaen]

Lol no

View attachment 1478675

Whoever drew that took it after the ball was shot and is drawing lines to deliberately obfuscate the issue. He saw the ball shot, Mendy never once complained to the referee about a player in the way like most GKs do in that situation. Goal stands.

Oh, so if he'd complained it would have been chalked off? Get real.

 

[slackboy72]

No he didn't

View attachment 1478675

Yes he did

 

[Bradesmaen]

No. But the point was he clearly didn't think he was obstructed so the whole argument lacks weight.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Yes he did

Who knew paint had a straight line tool? Not the original drawer.



Clearly can't see the ball.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Yes he did

Look where the ball is.

btw Here's the entitled princess looking in the eyes of Sean Dyche when he shakes hands.

Unless you're claiming to be able to read his mind, you have no idea of that. Maybe Mendy simply knows argument is futile and expected VAR to intervene.

Man, you're really obsessed with him!
