Am I being blinkered or was that a blatant dive?

No it was a dive.... its endemic in premier league this type of incident.... and var is legitimising it by not refusing penalties when player deliberately puts foot into defenders leg to get pen.... pens use to be given when defender fouled a player now a pen is given when attacking player fouls defender by manipulation... :shock:

It was a dive. Of course. He ran in to two players and jumped over. He was falling before any contact.

They even agreed in the studio. Very soft. Changed the game. Would've lost anyway. But ref very poor.

More like average ref.. but must say overall impressed by most officials..... dont take any nonsense book players for silly contact from behind but remarkable only one sending off!! But it stops lots of "professional" fouls ... got all female officials today for 1st time at Poland game.

Insane, womens brains simply cannot cope with the complexities of the offside rule.

Be interesting to see if they give/flag for offside or leave it to VAR?

I'm going to go out on a limb here & say they probably know more about the rules of the game than you do Jock. I get that it's hard for you to comprehend but the fact they're officiating at the world cup & you're not may be a clue. ;)

When it comes to women there’s much that’s hard for mr to comprehend, however it would be wise of you to remember the words of the philosopher Harry Enfield “Women know your limits”

Cant be worse than the var bods! Offside no problem but tonight basically gave a penalty to argies which is 3rd time they've given a penalty in this WC when the decision is absolutely wrong and all 3 rank as worst decisions given by VAR anywhere. :o
