I'd be furious if that had been given against The Arsenal.

You don't often see them given sadly, but "reckless" challenge in the box is simply asking for it. It'll happen more now hopefully.Quote:

I have a question. Why do Engerland supporters remove their shirts? No other supporters of national teams do that! If they think it makes them look hard they better think again because all I see are pasty, doughy, balding, aging men. Not exactly intimidating!;) Given what I've seen of English holidayers at Mexican resorts they better cover up because they can get a skin peeling sunburn in about 30 minutes!Quote:

Northerners, Chief. They love stripping off no matter what the weather. There are chaps wandering around in shorts and Tee shirts in the middle of December up in Newcastle.Quote:

Think, thick necked chaps driving around in pick ups with a confederate flag flapping from the aerial in Baton Rouge. :thumb up:
Failing to spot a reckless challenge in the penalty area is the very definition of a clear and obvious error!Quote:

Kane actually played the ball though; the other fellow was late, and didn't.Quote:

What’s become clear with VAR is that they’re mostly winging it and preying for post decision consensus.Quote:
