Day 9 | Georgia vs Czechia | Turkey vs Portugal | Belgium vs Romania

[kouroux]

Yellow card for that ??

 

[FrankDrebin]

Good challenge.

 

[Sly]

Pepe's longevity is unreal. Was always a better defender than Ramos.

Waiting for next match to read another post asking why he starts.

 

[diarm]

That was an inch perfect tackle.

 

[Offside]

So hard for the game to flow when the referee just blows because he can’t keep up. Useless.

 

[Gazautd18]

Thanks Christina!

 

[FrankDrebin]

Card happy ref.

 

[Grylte]

2nd perfect tackle i see that is given yellow....

Is this ref from the Albanian 3rd division?

 

[Gabriel Djemba-Bebe]

This ref is having a nightmare.

 

[kouroux]

This is how players get hurt. You book a guy for diving when it clearly wasn't and defenders go crazy thinking they'll get away with it because of shit refereeing.

It clearly wasn't?

 

[That_Bloke]

That's not a foul, let alone a yellow. Feck off ref.

 

[Desert Eagle]

Are we getting soft on dives now?

Thought there was some contact there.

 

[Morty_]

How high is Pepe in a list of best ever in his position? Had a special career, and for me the Pepe-Ramos partnership was better than Varane-Ramos, with Pepe clearly the best of the 3.

Ramos is a better all-round player, but yes, in terms of defending, i have him above anyone of that generation.

 

[Superunknown]

If I'm making that tackle, I'm going to be running around the pitch thumping my chest. Great tackle. Absolutely not a foul. Yellow card for that?! Feck off.

 

[Sly]

I'd sub Leão. He will get sent off with his low IQ football decisions.

 

[izec]

German referees are giving too many yellow cards

 

[LARulz]

This ref is fecking shit

That's an awful take.

 

[moses]

This ref is having a nightmare.

That was a shocking booking for that tackle.

 

[Gandalf]

I thought English refs were bad

 

[FrankDrebin]

Fecking seagull

 

[DJ_21]

Funny how Ronaldo would let Bruno or Bernardo take that free kick but one any closer and he’ll want it. He’s got more selfish as he’s got older. It’s like he feels he needs to prove he can still do it at 39

 

[Scandi Red]

That's not a foul, let a lone a yellow. Feck off ref.

Game's gone.

 

[DWelbz19]

I'd sub Leão. He will get sent off with his low IQ football decisions.

Neto and Dalot at HT

 

[That_Bloke]

Feck off ref.

 

[Kaos]

German ref clearly has it in for the Turks.

 

[Nico87]

Can see Pepe putting a M.O.T.M performance , then getting a red in the last ten minutes for randomly violently assaulting any random Turkish forward

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Rather a lot of bookings.

 

[Gandalf]

Watching in the US on Fox and they have got Clattenburg as their rules expert. If you want to grow the game in ‘Merica then surely you should give that job to an English speaker?

 

[Gazautd18]

Damn. Ref flashing cards like in a casino!

 

[Bole Top]

this ref despises football.

 

[Sly]

I thought English refs were bad

Wait till you get to know portuguese refs.

This German ref is too card happy although this Palhinha yellow was deserved

 

[calodo2003]

Whomever the female ref is discussing fouls etc. is quite good, she explained the reason for the yellow well.

He is enabled by all his coaches too. Imagine the tantrums he'd throw if he was told to stop taking those FKs

 

[Gabriel Djemba-Bebe]

Thank god ITV have that American woman chiming in to tell us what is/isn't a foul. I don't know how we survived before they hired her.

 

[SirBillNic]

What's up with the random American woman explaining the bleeding obvious that it wasn't a foul?

 

[Gonçalo Motta]

at this rate, someone is getting a red card this game. This ref is trigger happy with the cards

 

[calodo2003]

Thank god ITV have that American woman chiming in to tell us what is/isn't a foul. I don't know how we survived before they hired her.

She is quite good, explained how it had to be a yellow if a foul is called.

 

[Dazzmondo]

Feels like a comfortable win for Portugal

 

[PoTMS]

Sam Matterface is genuinely so awful. Who convinced him he was a commentator?
