@Homewiththewife @ManagerTactical There have been at least 3 instances of VAR making objectively horrific decisions, and you’re telling me the fact that all 3 resulted in denying Iran crucial match-winning moments is purely just coincidence? Pull your head in

@brandonfrank09 @nekounamball It’s not up to you dork, if you don’t want certain nationalities in your country then maybe DON’T BID TO HOST WORLD CUPS?

[Pepe Escobar @RealPepeEscobar]

Iran was ROBBED by FIFA.

On American soil.

English great Alan Shearer:

“That is one of the worst VAR decisions I've seen on a World Cup stage. If the officials can't get a moment like that right with every replay available, then you have to ask what VAR is actually there for.”

“You're not talking about a throw-in or a corner you're talking about a goal that could have changed an entire nation's World Cup. That level of incompetence is simply unacceptable.”

“The referee and the VAR officials have to be held accountable. You cannot make a decision of that magnitude, hide behind technology, and then expect everyone to move on as if nothing happened.”

“Iran earned that moment. The players celebrated, the fans celebrated, and millions back home believed they had witnessed history. Then, within seconds, a disastrous decision ripped it all away.”

“This isn't just a mistake it has consequences. Careers, dreams, and years of sacrifice can be destroyed by one wrong call. That's why the standard for VAR has to be far higher than this.”

“If that decision was incorrect, then football owes Iran an explanation. The officials will walk into another match next week, but Iranian supporters will remember this moment for the rest of their lives. That's the real tragedy.”

[Craig Murray @CraigMurrayOrg]

Kudos to Jose Mourinho, Alan Shearer and many other footballing figures who have called out the outrageous and impossible VAR offside decision against Iran.

But none of them has stated the truth: it was not incompetence, it was FIFA political corruption.

@steffff7777 @LeagueScenePod still not getting any closer to winning comps or gaining any new sponsorship and membership opportunities. A sudden $4-5m cap increase with 3 new clubs joining over the next few years is going to fuck new clubs over and reward shrewd roster management

[Law @SpooofyX]

@steffff7777 @LeagueScenePod You have the opportunity to have an extra 2-3 marquee signings on your roster and hunt premierships, if you’re just adding numbers relative to everyone’s current value and maintaining the current roster structure, you’re potentially paying $1.8m for a Latrell or Moses and

@irl_sumo Who cares, his adoptive family is Lebanese and he wants to represent them. The alternative is an NRL winger doesn’t play international matches and a weaker nation is forced to play a local park player on the sting against the likes of To’o and Dom Young

That weakens global RL

@LaurenVella82 When I was in Sydney I did a job in Blacktown one day, I walked into one of those African-owned corner shops and immediately it was like getting punched in the face by the smell, deadset came within an inch of passing out I legitimately lost my peripheral vision for a moment

Cape Verde qualifying for the Round of 32

[Law @SpooofyX]

@NewyRoosters @steffff7777 @LeagueScenePod Yes but the disparity in unders between the top players and the lower-mid calibre players should be much more pronounced and it shouldn’t mean your players already on 1.2m should be seeing any noteworthy pay bumps in the short term

[Law @SpooofyX]

@NewyRoosters @steffff7777 @LeagueScenePod By that logic if all players are in it for the money and not for winning comps then why aren’t more players flocking to PNG?

I have to imagine top clubs would rather punt their top $1m player if they agitated and have 5-6 $1m gun players than pay that extra $400-500k to keep one

[Law @SpooofyX]

@NewyRoosters @steffff7777 @LeagueScenePod I said 2-3 more on the assumption it increases to $16m which apparently is the conservative estimate since it’s now come out it go up as high as $20m

If the cap was already 16 you think Penny lose all of Luai, Critta, Henry, Api, Burton etc? They would’ve kept at least 2 of them

[Law @SpooofyX]

@NewyRoosters @steffff7777 @LeagueScenePod As I said $1m+ a year is a lot of money for one person, smart operators at those top clubs would absolutely get those other players into that $1m club and sell the idea to those already there that this is how we’re winning comps. It’s Manly of the 07-14 era but with richer deals

[Law @SpooofyX]

@NewyRoosters @steffff7777 @LeagueScenePod If you add $3-4m to the cap then why would making another 2-3 of your best players millionaires collapse the squad?

[Law @SpooofyX]

@NewyRoosters @steffff7777 @LeagueScenePod $1m is a lot of money for anyone, adding $3-4mil on the cap in such a short amount of time means the likes of Chooks, Souths, Penrith etc can keep hogging all the best talent by paying an extra 2-3 players a $1m+ and force some clubs to field reserve-grade rosters in the NRL

@batbay318486 @BuzzRothfield In a side with Cleary in it, a good kicking game doesn’t make up for shit defense and a bung hamstring

[Law @SpooofyX]

@meister_da @steffff7777 @LeagueScenePod For the sake of keeping the on-field product at a higher quality and for the sake of giving newer and weaker clubs a chance at fielding decent rosters, I hope that’s not the case
