Its insane, enraging, that the Mbeumo handball is ruled as legitimate play.
It's crazy. Idiotic. 100% wrong.
Football has fallen into the hands of a small, distant elite who inform us what we have witnessed.
We, supporters, apparently just accept this because we are helpless.
No not a time to "change the law". Law says if you handle the ball intentionally you have committed an offence.
It's that simple.
VAR has decided, like every other aspect of football, to over complicate and confuse what the rules are.
Bunches of jobsworths justifying their jobs.
Pure corruption that was. The goal, Casemiro on a yellow taking ages to come off, Bruno not getting booked for going at the ref. Countless quick free kicks pulled back, check taking for ever, 8 minutes added on 😂
If that game meant something I would’ve been locked up tonight.
The Ref fucked up not seeing him catch the ball in real time and was given a chance to watch it back several times and still decided to give the goal, how can you be so unbelievably incapable of doing your fucking job? This league has the worst officials in the world.
🚨 REPOST - SADISTIC BULLY TORTURED HIS DOG TO DEATH
⚠️ CAUTION ADVISED - A TOUGH READ
KNOW HIS FACE!
🚨 LEVI BALMER, 20
🌍 RUTHERGLEN Nr GLASGOW
Another cockroach abusing animals.
A sadistic bully that horrifically tortured his dog to death by beating and burning it has avoided a prison sentence.
Levi Balmer inflicted severe injuries and caused a dog significant pain and distress has been handed a 10-year ban on owning, keeping and taking charge of dogs.
The 20-year-old, from Rutherglen, subjected the Cane Corso cross American Bully puppy to such severe abuse she died of pain-related stress.
Balmer pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to a charge of causing 16-week-old Mabel unnecessary physical and mental suffering which left her in such severe pain that she passed away
Balmer was also handed a 162 hours community payback order and placed under 12 months social work supervision.
Leaving her with second and third-degree burns
Balmer held Mabel on a hot surface in his Rutherglen flat leaving her with second and third-degree burns.
He also physically attacked or beat Mabel and fractured a tooth.
The dog suffered scalding to its face, hind limbs, tail and pads, was bleeding from a wound to her shoulder, had blood from her nose and mouth, lameness, swelling and was in acute pain prior to death.
On Christmas Eve 2024, a call was made to the Scottish SPCA Animal Helpline by a vet who was concerned about the condition a deceased dog had been brought into the practice in.
The vet explained Mabel had been brought into the practice multiple times before with serious injuries and that there were suspicions, she had suffered significant abuse.
A Scottish SPCA Inspector spoke to Levi Balmer on the phone, and an investigation was launched into the cause of Mabel’s death.
The Scottish SPCA requested permission for Mabel’s body to be uplifted in order to carry out a post-mortem, which Balmer agreed to. On the same day, the Inspector attended the vet to see Mabel’s body.
The image of Mabel still follows me to this day
The Scottish SPCA Inspector said: “The image of Mabel still follows me to this day. It was quickly evident she has been victim of extreme abuse and cruelty during her short life; her wounds were so severe. It is one of the most distressing cases I have ever dealt with.”
On November 26 2024, Mabel was brought into the vet after coming into contact with bleach.
Balmer explained to the vet that he had washed Mabel in the bath two days earlier, forgetting that he had put bleach in the bath to clean it previously that day.
On December 11 2024, Mabel was examined by another vet due to a complaint of her being lethargic, urinating blood and a lump being found.
Balmer explained that he had tripped and fallen on her earlier that day. A number of teeth were chipped or missing and she had blood in her urine which was indicative of a UTI.
Mabel was taken to the vet again on December 21, 2024, as an emergency appointment due to a history of non-weight bearing lameness, losing teeth, facial swelling and struggle to eat.
Balmer reported that Mabel seemed “injury-prone and clumsy” and said that she had “crashed into” her dog crate, resulting in a small wound on her shoulder.
Due to suspicion over her injuries, another appointment was booked in for December 27 to examine Mabel further – but she was presented as dead on arrival to the vet on December 24.
During the post-mortem examination, it was concluded that the pattern of injury was most consistent with a scald injury and that Mabel had been burnt deliberately.
Evidence also showed the fractures had been caused by a deliberate attack rather than an accident.
There's a teacher at my sister's school where she worked, doing something pretty special this week in her memory. If you can either support or share, that would be amazing. @dcfcofficial@NFFC#NFFC#DCFCfans https://t.co/SiIw8zfq1s
