RIP football

[Bruce Wayne]

Think the game of football may just have died for me.

 

[Hokkanen]

Me too.

 

[RFUS]

Yep.

They need camera technology and to stop all this diving. Simple post-match reviews and suspensions to divers would end it immediately.

Had a Ukranian guy tell me 'boo for football. Football is dead' while watching Spain dive their way though the world cup final. He may have been more right than I expected.

 

[Deleted member 28206]

I'd be embarrased to behave like that, a grown man diving around.

 

[Rabscallion]

Man..... Imagine having to watch Suarez play every week - what a tedious little get he is. He's bitched moaned and cheated his way through the entire game....sad

 

[dholliday]

Diving and feigning injury is a cvnt's trick and damages the game for future generations. But Atkinson's decision-making today was even more damaging. FIFA will have to ban sliding tackles altogether, football will become a non-contact sport.

Can't someone start up a petition for video technology?

Football is a joke.

Match rigging happened in Italy, proving it's not just confined to the small leagues and with the amount of dodgy ref decisions you see in the Premier League I wouldn't be suprised if it was ever found to be going on in the Premier League.

I'm disgusted at Atkinson and I'm disgusted at FIFA.

Blatter doesn't want video tech because it stops games being rigged so easily.

Only a total fool wouldn't want some form of video technology in the Premiership to make games fairer. Blatter is just making money, rigging matches and laughing at us as we spend it on our season tickets and sky sports subsciptions.

It's why I started watching Rugby where there are no diving Suarez types.......

 

[daza_1973]

It died 20 years ago to be fair....

 

[best little spaniard]

Calm down. I'm sure we'll all feel much better and less furious in about an hour or two.

As much as i'm pissed off, nothing will change. So there's no use getting wound up about it

 

[Baines' left foot]

Yep, for me too.

It seems now that the more you whinge, scream and cry, the more fortunate you are.

Good on Jags for not shaking Suarez's hand though.

But he should have smacked him......

 

[sisyphus]

Did the Everton players shake Atkinsons hand at the end?

 

[RFUS]

They made him man of the match as well, praising him all over the show. That rubbed it in.
