[MegaBonus]

Italy and England out before Greece...

[PDog]

ivory coast would be spewing... pretty dramatic

[Arfa Fuxake]

Who?

[Kosta Utd]

ivory coast would be spewing... pretty dramatic

why? Greece did hit the crossbar 3 times, more chances and outplayed them

clear penalty on Samaras

Greeks deserved winners by a country mile on this match

[PDog]

clear penalty? you're fucking kidding yourself right?!

agree about clear chances, cross bar etc, but at 1-1 with seconds to play, cote d'ivoire were through, or so it seemed, until a shocking penalty decision.

I was up and saw the replay and post match commentary and replay.. clear foul

obviously you didn't

guess that is why cote d'ivoire didn't protest too much?

mal

[PDog]

yep - no probs, if that helps you sleep at night.

Probably not carrying on because they know they cheated.

protesting gets you far too. refs change their decisions all the time based on player reactions.

[Kosta Utd]

mal (seems to be the 'in thing' to call people around here at the moment)

so let me gets this right..

1. you didn't see the match live
2. relays clearly show the defender hitting Samara's knee
3. whole sbs studio team unanimously agree that it was a clear foul
4. opposing team didn't protest

and you believe that you are correct and the facts above don't apply?

the word mal is right fully justified in this instance

surely a dive would be protested upon regardless of outcome? as is always the way

shouldn't you too get a room to discuss England's graceful attempts at finishing rock bottom?

I think you are in trouble if you are relying on that particular 'genius factory' to prove your point.

[God is an Englishman]

Oh dear Costa - dive, clear as day.

Pdog's not English is he?

[PDog]

i couldn't give a rats ass about the poms champ. nice try but.

watch the replay again, where exactly does the defender touch his knee? he kicks the ground and himself and falls over in a screaming heap. soft as butter and no integrity.

good point and well made

spewing thought I got you then.. lol

anyway back on topic, the first replay I saw I totally agree with you that it looked like Samaras tripped over his own feet but the second replay (after the match) you can clearly see that it wasn't the defenders foot that clipped samaras but his knee impeded the Greek which caused his foot to then hit the other..

clear as day, but hard to spot, have a look next time you see the replay and you will see exactly what im talking about.. as I said this was pointed out by the whole sbs panel after the match and agreed unanimously beyond any doubt

mate you guys can say what you like.. facts are facts..

quick question did any of you watch the match? see the sbs commentary post match?

[PDog]

i've watched it a million times - i can't see anything other than samaras swinging for a shot a goal, but he clips himself and the ground and falls over.

don't get me wrong, you take what you can get and at the end of the day, your mob are through. i'm just sick to death of seeing shit calls like being made over and over again. the refs side with the attacker more often than not, and in this portion of the field, its a pretty big call to award a penalty based on an incident where the 'contact' being made is speculation. at first glance, there is no way he could see anything like what you say happened, after a million replays i still cant see it.

maybe that's why im not a ref, but in this instance, thats no penalty. if it were the other way around you'd be screaming blue murder.

[Kosta Utd]

so you are saying all the sbs panel are unanimously wrong? after watching the replay?

like I said I didn't see it the first replay over, but if you get a chance to see it again watch the defenders knee (not his feet) and you will see the light...

tbh, if Samaras did fall over his feet and got the penalty and scored I still would be loving it with no regrets, but in this case it was a clear penalty and I will stand by that

[PDog]

i can see the light - the light between the defenders knee and samaras' leg...

Dear God man don't shoot your credibility in the foot by using them as a reference source, you were doing fine before then
