Casino Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 twice now this ref has red carded somebody when it's looked like he wasn't going to i suspect the 4th official has been seeing replays and telling him through the mic i understood that wasn't to happen?

Bea Smith Posted July 9, 2006 Author Posted July 9, 2006 twice now this ref has red carded somebody when it's looked like he wasn't going to i suspect the 4th official has been seeing replays and telling him through the mic i understood that wasn't to happen? commentators where discussing that too, there was quite a long delay, it will prob get explained away that the mic wasnt working properly or summat, doubt they will admit to video evidence being used.
exiledwhite2 Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 twice now this ref has red carded somebody when it's looked like he wasn't going to i suspect the 4th official has been seeing replays and telling him through the mic i understood that wasn't to happen? Or is it his style? Seems odd it's been the same ref twice, maybe just a coincidence? Christ knows what Zidane got so het up about, very peculiar, and silly, but shit happens. Dont know why the BBC lot went on about it so much. He's a great player and this will be just a footnote to his career, surely. They were headed to pens anyway.
tomy taylor Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 after a year or so of getting bored i can see him coming out of retirement, at 34(?!?) or so, still got a fair few years in him
Zozzy Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 after a year or so of getting bored i can see him coming out of retirement, at 34(?!?) or so, still got a fair few years in him you must be joking, his career is finished!
Peter North Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 based on that performance he will probably end up playing for us! Can see Big Sam going for a player who plays his last match like he's in the Swan on a Friday neet!!!
Smiffs Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 In 50 years he will be telling his grandkids about his last international...... 'I got sent off you know' 'What for Grandad?' 'Twatting an Itie' 'fair play to you pops'
Traf Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 Not just tw??tting an Eyetie, tw??tting an Eyetie who was at least a foot taller than Zizou.
Guest as Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Great way to end your career - football is all about entertainment after all PB
wovlad Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 twice now this ref has red carded somebody when it's looked like he wasn't going to i suspect the 4th official has been seeing replays and telling him through the mic i understood that wasn't to happen? Its not but, I reckon in this instance it did
Guest Biff Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 The referee consulted his assistant after being asked to by Buffon. Will Buffon now get the Ronaldo treatment. Going back to Zidane, I am saddened by what he did. He has lost a lot of my respect and admiration. No doubt there was provocation but with his experience he should have risen above it. He should have taken his revenge by scoring the winning goal not by reverting to the thug from the Marseille slums.
Traf Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 You're possibly right, Biff. BUT ZZ was captaining his country for the last time ever, he was playing his last ever game and it was almost the end of a very tiring World Cup final. His emotional state must have been one of turmoil and he was probablty knackered too. In those situations, you don't always think straight. He will still be remembered by me as a top player: definitely one of the best of his generation. He was outrageously good in his prime.

Zozzy Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 His emotional state must have been one of turmoil and he was probablty knackered too. In those situations, you don't always think straight. And he was probably shitting himself thinking about the penalty shoot out. Do you remember a few years back when he was so nervous that he vomitted near the penalty spot as he was just starting his run-up to take a penalty in a big game.
Guest as Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Kin hell, Biff. Have you had all life sucked from you or summat? He lost his rag He snapped More importantly, he's human, not some f*cking communist machine who's been programmed how to think. If he's lost your respect for doing that, your respect prob wasn't worth having. PB
Traf Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 I reckon whatever Materazzi (Everton scum) said to him, it must have been too close to the bone. I'd guess it would have been a racist comment, as racism is rife in italian football. Zidane obviously wanted to settle it there and then as he knew he probably wouldn't have got a chance to sort it after the game.

Casino Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 indefensible his were the actions of a thug, and theres no place in football for thugs
