@CrusherCine @DFToffy @Footyknowit @BodhisattvaPGH The opponent put himself in danger

[R. Shackleford @QuadBoiler]

@skyzocka @AngryBosnianFan Clearly I’m speaking with someone who is going to see whatever they want regardless of what is actually there so we’re done here. Enjoy pushing your anti US agenda, hope it makes you feel better.

@Mr_Andrew_Fox Why don’t any of you show the lead up to this point?

[R. Shackleford @QuadBoiler]

@skyzocka @AngryBosnianFan Yes it is what a physical defender does. So when you take someone’s balance away and they step their foot down, you don’t get to complain that it stepped in a bad spot. People want to use a screenshot and ignore the lead up of how it got there. Sorry that’s not how it works.

[R. Shackleford @QuadBoiler]

@skyzocka @AngryBosnianFan I don’t want to say it’s his fault. I’m directly saying it was his fault. Being a good defender has nothing to do with it. He tried to make a play on the ball and knocked Flo off balance in the process which led to the contact. It sucks. It’s also not worthy of a red.

[R. Shackleford @QuadBoiler]

@AlexPichler95 @RonStewart_ He threw a blatant intentional elbow at an opponents face and deserved an extended match ban for the act. It was a much more egregious decision to suspend those. But it’s Ronaldo so everyone is cool ignoring it.

@jamesbenge @RonArsenalFC @MasterTes James, your personal matters are none of my business. If there’s another reason you have posted about one situation and not the other then I will take your word for it, I’m just tired of reading all the outrage when there was very little of it when the precedent was initially set

[R. Shackleford @QuadBoiler]

@jamesbenge @RonArsenalFC @MasterTes I’m not interested in arguing the definition of hypocrisy. That’s completely beside the point. You, a correspondent of the sport, who posts on Twitter often, have chosen THIS incident to cry scandal while ignoring CR7. I’m sure it’s simply because you were off work for that one..

[R. Shackleford @QuadBoiler]

@jamesbenge @RonArsenalFC @MasterTes That’s literally the whole point. You’ve chosen to post on Twitter as an “expert” about one decision and completely ignore the other. Then claim it’s not hypocrisy. What a joke.

[R. Shackleford @QuadBoiler]

@jamesbenge @RonArsenalFC @MasterTes My guy, it’s literally your job to talk about soccer. If you think something is scandalous now but don’t even bother to post about a similar event from a few months back, then that feels pretty hypocritical. Have at whatever mental gymnastics you need to explain that away…

[R. Shackleford @QuadBoiler]

@jamesbenge @RonArsenalFC @MasterTes Hypocrisy is crying disgrace and scandal about one decision while never posting about the other. Being off work a few days doesn’t really change that. I don’t love the process or the delayed ruling but I would love if everyone stopped acting like it is unprecedented.

[R. Shackleford @QuadBoiler]

@shogun_shonuff @DanielSturm14 @Mr_RichGuest @ChristinaUnkel Well he blocked me after saying I provided no arguments responding to the post where I provided an argument…

[R. Shackleford @QuadBoiler]

@DanielSturm14 @shogun_shonuff @Mr_RichGuest @ChristinaUnkel I’m well aware that you are making a distinction between the separate parts of competition that benefited Ronaldo while ignoring that reds carry over parts of competition throughout the entire event. That’s just how it works.

[R. Shackleford @QuadBoiler]

@shogun_shonuff @DanielSturm14 @Mr_RichGuest @ChristinaUnkel I know he’s dead wrong but his reasoning doesn’t make sense even if he weren’t wrong. Players get reds that apply to separate parts of the competition throughout the entire tournament.

[R. Shackleford @QuadBoiler]

@jamesbenge @RonArsenalFC @MasterTes Ah, well good point. You weren’t working the exact day it was announced so why take the time the next day, for instance, to post about a decision you find so disgraceful. Very reasonable take.

[R. Shackleford @QuadBoiler]

@DanielSturm14 @shogun_shonuff @Mr_RichGuest @ChristinaUnkel So if a player gets a red in the last match of the group stage, they don’t have to sit out a match in the knockout round because it’s a separate part of the competition?

[R. Shackleford @QuadBoiler]

@swissfootdata

[R. Shackleford @QuadBoiler]

@jamesbenge @RonArsenalFC @MasterTes Thought it was disgraceful then yet didn’t make a single post about it. Yeah, you must have really been up in arms.
