@JONNY_RUBBER @SE25EZE @edrinehabasa Do you know that in other games, for example rugby, they can only give the penalty try if it is clear the foul robbed them of probably try? They have to make an assessment that, without being fouled, you would have scored, before they just give you the try.

@AndyShrimpton4 @MonacoRebooted @edrinehabasa Not. Not American. But ‘Go Texans’.

[Riley 🇫🇷 🇺🇸 🇦🇺 @Hunter_RileyG]

@JimmyGazman @edrinehabasa I’m only taking about those situations where the attacker has already had a bad touch and lost the ball or kicked it away over the back line before he’s fouled, then he gets fouled and gets handed an almost certain goal. I do see this quite a lot. It’s a big prize

[Riley 🇫🇷 🇺🇸 🇦🇺 @Hunter_RileyG]

@MarkMgc11 @edrinehabasa Yep. I’ve been put in my place. It cuts off the angles too

[Riley 🇫🇷 🇺🇸 🇦🇺 @Hunter_RileyG]

@bren_geo @AndyShrimpton4 @MonacoRebooted @edrinehabasa Ok. I understand. The only thing I in fact said was that it looked to me like his back foot was still on the line. It’s not all that an unreasonable comment, and it was on

[Riley 🇫🇷 🇺🇸 🇦🇺 @Hunter_RileyG]

@SE25EZE @edrinehabasa Yeah. Agree, but I also see a real lot where the guy has already had a bad touch and lost the ball, sometimes even kicked it out over the back and they give the pen. You know, whether he gets fouled or not, there’s no chance of a goal.

[Riley 🇫🇷 🇺🇸 🇦🇺 @Hunter_RileyG]

@SE25EZE @edrinehabasa I get it. I assumed that he had kept his back foot on the line but most disagree with that. The penalty rule is quite harsh but I guess it’s there to try to have more goals. My guess would be that well over 50% of penalties are given when a goal was no chance of being scored

[Riley 🇫🇷 🇺🇸 🇦🇺 @Hunter_RileyG]

@Lyndonx @mrpete9 This is happening in other places too. France and Australia are going through huge tax grabs. Something serious needs to be done. We can’t keep being robbed like this.

@mrpete9 @sotheysay3 @AndyShrimpton4 @edrinehabasa I watched the game and didn’t hear them say that. They seemed to be saying it was the goalie moving. I read later it was the player going early. Is Kane’s little pause legal?

[Riley 🇫🇷 🇺🇸 🇦🇺 @Hunter_RileyG]

@PhilB2810 @edrinehabasa I think he might have done that in the retake.

[Riley 🇫🇷 🇺🇸 🇦🇺 @Hunter_RileyG]

@AndyShrimpton4 @sotheysay3 @edrinehabasa Of course I accept it. I don’t really care. It was fine. They won by more than one goal. I was at that semi final in Russia in 2018.

@sallymcmanus Since when have there ever been different tax rates for different people?

[Riley 🇫🇷 🇺🇸 🇦🇺 @Hunter_RileyG]

@dm_wasgaf @keithmarlowau @sallymcmanus Ha. See what the sensible ones amongst us have to deal with? Good response to some simple facts

[Riley 🇫🇷 🇺🇸 🇦🇺 @Hunter_RileyG]

@JimmyGazman @edrinehabasa Does the penalty rule worry you? I understand the utility of it in trying to ensure more goals are scored but let’s face it, the vast majority of penalties are given when no goal is gonna be scored. It’s a very big punishment often for an infringement that made no difference

[Riley 🇫🇷 🇺🇸 🇦🇺 @Hunter_RileyG]

@scruztiger @Tw_timerAlder Yep. In my experience, true believers of this bullshit cannot even understand the way I think about it. If they could, we could have a discussion about why I’m wrong, but if you don’t have the ability to understand or follow the logic, no sensible discussion is possible

[Riley 🇫🇷 🇺🇸 🇦🇺 @Hunter_RileyG]

@TheDancingYak @edrinehabasa Yep. I was assuming there was a good chance his back foot was still on the line becasue that’s what it looks like in the photo and the commentators (who were English) also said it looked ok to them.

[Riley 🇫🇷 🇺🇸 🇦🇺 @Hunter_RileyG]

@SchoolboyOwn @edrinehabasa Yep. I think so too

[Riley 🇫🇷 🇺🇸 🇦🇺 @Hunter_RileyG]

@MonacoRebooted @AndyShrimpton4 @edrinehabasa Are you fuckwits English by any chance? Fucking hell. Talk about agro over nothing. Dipshits

@sotheysay3 @AndyShrimpton4 @edrinehabasa There’s a good saying: “The problem with the world is that the most intelligent are full of doubt but the most stupid are always so cock sure of themselves”. I just said “I dunno are you sure”. What did you think I meant by those words? Something that I didn’t say, I guess
