Worthless to decide whether there was a foul or not. When was the last time you could tell about a tripping foul without a close up replay?

"Bob" is a typical usenet legalist, too stupid to recognise something in front of his face if it doesn't fit his moralising... as others have pointed out, it is the moralising that is so mistaken, not the criticism of the referee on any particular play. The repeat broadcast of the match is on ESPN3 btw in case anyone wants to watch it. ESPN2 showed it yesterday. -- ciao, Bruce drift wave turbulence: http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~bds/

Make sure you tape it and post evidence to back up your gratuitous assertion that the ref got it wrong.

Just tell me exactly where in the FIFA Law Book, 2010/2011 Queen's English edition, does the expression "deliberate fouls" even occur (it doesn't, as far as I can see), and where does it say that those deliberate fouls are unsporting? |
