LOL at the outrage. Suarez's decision is absolutely superb. Really good stuff. Smart as you can.

He's single-handedly (excuse the pun) from elimination. Anyone who doesn't do that is clueless, very similar to Neil Back in the Heineken Cup back in the day.

Why dont ya just ride him?

[Wesley Harms]

wtf - they were robbed, the henry thing was way different - had Henry not handled it, they wouldn't have scored- it would have been still 1-1. whereas 2nite had the player not handled it, Ghana were through.

It was harsh, im not disputing that, but to say you feel worse for them is horse shit imo, Send them a card in the post if you really feel bad but posting that is lol

You've got it backwards (shock).
Ghana weren't robbed because everything that happened was within the rules of the game. Suarez committed a foul and was correctly sent off and a penalty given. (You can debate if the rules are wrong maybe).
Whereas Ireland could say they were 'robbed', because what happened was outside the rules of the game.

[Lord Sir Banter]

Also in paris that night if it had been Robbie Keane to grab the ball out of the air and smack in the winner, the would have made him Taoiseach or something.

Why not, robbing bastards make popular Taoiseachs.

I really dont know if your being sarcastic here but I couldnt agree more if you are being serious.

Its a natural reaction first of all and secondly, like you say, anyone that doesnt do what he did is ridiculously stupid. The only thing I'd say is, without Suarez for the semi, they are in trouble.

[whyno]

I agree with C Kid

Yeah, absolute no brainer.

Epic ending. I'd rather Uruguay get through as I think it will be a better match vs the Dutch. Got to feel for Gyan, he will never live that down.

Robbed of what? a 1-1 draw?

There is also somethin about fair play and all that - but sure obv u have your views and i have mine and we'll agree to disagree.

Ghana were certainly robbed of that goal, but everyone's missing the fact that they threw it away themselves with three disgracefully terrible penalties.

The second miss was embarrassingly bad, Uruguay keeper didn't even celebrate saving it, it was gifted to him.

I feel sorry for them, but they fucked it up themselves.

The way I see it is that Suarez absolutely did the right thing. He knew he would be sent off etc, but surely the blame should lie not with him, but with FIFA for having such a stupid rule book. He did the same as anyone with half a brain would do in that situatioon.

Yeah, it's harsh on Ghana but it could have just as easily been the other way around. Anyway, both teams were so rubbish during the 120 mins that they have only themselves to blame!

[Theresa]

Forget about Ghana, about Suarez, about Fifa's ridiculous rulebook.

Tonight its all about Sebastien Abreu for he has the largest testicles in the world.

Actually thought it was a decent enough game.

Re 'the stupid rule book' surely you have to accept that if they had the rugby equivalent, a 'penalty goal', for incidents like that, that you would just open up a whole new chapter of injustices.

You know, Arsenal get the penalty goal one week. Next week theres a similar handball in the MUFC game but the ref isn't convinced it was a definite goal and forces them to take a penalty which they miss. SAF explodes in press conference about the injustice of it all. Goons on Sky Sports say 'the one thing we want is consistency' etc.
The rule (in this situation) is fine the way it is imo.

[cooker3]

I wonder will Fifa give Suarez a 2 match ban to respond to the inevitable outrage that will happen.

[Guest]

the amount of gobshites who have sucked out on me tonight
latest shove AQ, called by A9, although maybe he deserved it for bravery

whats the point of creating an image if the payoff is some muppet doing exactly what you wanted him to do only to suck out

More or less took a bullet for his team, guarenteeing he'll take no part in a semi so his team have a slim chance to qualify(you had to fancy Gyan 2 from 2 from the spot).

Delighted for Uraguay, Forlan in particular he's been one of the few real star performers this WC and Suarez too, his little gamble paid off. Also happy Brazil are gone any1 from Spain/Uraguay or Holland and I'm green Argentina big big red.

[cooker3]

Btw I think in general Suarez is a horrible player, diving, feigning injuries, looking to get players booked but as I said what he did at the end is a no brainer.

[Denny Crane]

lol football

[BobSloane]

Abel Xavier was not called a cheat for doing exact same in last minute of extra time v France in euro200 semi final. Oh yeah - Zidane managed to score that penalty though. Results based reactions ftw

Sky Sports will always have something to complain about though. FWIW something like a penalty goal can only be brought in if there is 'technology' introduced I reckon.

would you say the same thing had the ref not giving a peno?

Yes, just because the referee missed the incident, doesn't mean the rule is different.

So tilted reading the soccer forum right now. Why do I inflict this pain on myself.

Cracking save by Suarez all the same. In goal for the final imo.

[dannydiamond]

Why are some of you talking about cheating? Why the lol football comments?

Suarez was caught and the appropriate punishment was handed out.
The ball never crossed the line and lol at anyone who thinks a goal should be awarded.

Yeah it's tough on Ghana and I really wanted them to win but c'est la vie,there are no other viable alternatives regarding the rules, simple.

I really hope Suarez gets a 2 game ban, but I doubt he will,no one likes it but he still did the right thing for his team though, no question.

When's season 4 of breaking going to be out? Just finished it off, last few episodes were epic.

It is cheating Danny, no matter what way you look at it. If I was in the situation I would have done the same thing but it is still cheating.

The problem is the rules though, when that happens it should be a goal. Again it comes back to goal-line technology. If it was available you could have the rule to award a goal.

Don't agree with any of this tbh. Feck all to do with goal line technology either, the ref got it all right.

Its only finished the current season a couple of weeks ago so at least nine months I would think.

i think it may well have been instinct rather than conscious cheating. though his feigned surpise when sent off was quite funny

My car is a piece of shit. If I was to get another car, would there be any chance of getting a dealer to take it so that I don't have to get rid of it myself? It wouldn't be worth more than a couple of grand even if I did some stuff that needed to be done to it, and a dealer giving me a grand off another car even would be acceptable to me generally.

In other words, I am very lazy and just want to do the easiest thing possible. NCT is up in Jan, and it will be 10 years old by then as well.

How the fcuk could goal-line technology make any difference in this case, it wasn't over the line.
(I fear I'm being fished here!)

Africa runs bad.

Fcuk 'em.
6 places in this World Cup, 3 wins out of 18 games in the groups, 1 team into the last 16. And if Ghana had have made it to the last 4 then Africa would have been hinting at an increased allocation at (as usual) Europes expense. Thankfully Uruguay got there in the end and Ghana can't cover up an overall dismal African performance.

Don't worry about it. Believe me, when I saw a POS driving into the dealership I worked in I was rubbing my hands. Too many reasons to commit to this post as to why it was better to trade in a semi-crap car.

If you do go to a dealer don't let them know that you think your car isn't worth much. Better to overestimate your expectation of the trade in value, listen to the salesmans explanation as to why it's not worth that much and negotiate from there.

Find the car you are interested in before asking the trade in value though. Generally the more expensive the car you are buying the more you should get for your car.

POS = piece of shit

Oh ya, I've no intention of just saying "take this I don't want anything for it", but it's good to know they don't mind them too much.

I'd probably be looking at spending 10-14k on a car, but I need to srt a few things before I can do it though.

cheers.

(I fear I'm being fished here!)

If there was goal-line technology as in replay video then a rule could be there about stopping a certain goal by illegal means. A rule that states in the event that the ball would have crossed the line without illegal intervention a goal shall be awarded.

So they can look back at it and give the goal.

LOL at the outrage. Suarez's decision is absolutely superb. Really good stuff. Smart as you can.

He's single-handedly (excuse the pun) from elimination. Anyone who doesn't do that is clueless, very similar to Neil Back in the Heineken Cup back in the day.

I agree with this. The only thing I would have done differently was lay on the ground for 10 mins waiting to be stretchered off to try and put the kicker off his task as much as possible.

you see this in GAA the whole time - give away a peno but make sure you give the kicker as much time to think about it as possible

tbh I never noticed the lisp, never got pas the mediocre (and therefore attainable) and irish (i.e. realistically attainable) part of her
