June 9, 200817 yr How offside? Still, a kick in the balls for all those folk who've taken up being Italian because their Great-Great-Grandfather went there once.
June 10, 200817 yr Just my luck as I turned on the telly at 91 minutes so hear 'oh what a great game this has been'. Bollux
June 10, 200817 yr Not at all. Panucci played the horse-faced f?cker on. whilst on his arse off the picth?
June 10, 200817 yr Yes. You are factually correct. I heard so many so called "football people" on talksport this morning stating it was offside. This slight adjustment was brought in to stop defenders stepping over the line to play forwards offside. Would there be this debate if he had fallen into the back of the net after colliding Buffon? Now if the ref had allowed to him to go off to recieve treatment that would be different. Advantage to the attacking side. English refs take note. Edited June 10, 200817 yr by Big_Girl_Oral_Explosion

This slight adjustment was brought in to stop defenders stepping over the line to play forwards offside. I'm not sure they've ever been allowed to do that. Certainly, deliberately leaving the field of play without the referee's permission has always been a cautionable offence. There's nothing (well, there are probably a few things) pisses me off more than having to folk on the telly who don't know what they're on about. I'd have stabbed Chris Waddle in the eye if I been anywhere near him during the France-Romania game yesterday.
June 10, 200817 yr The "who understands the offside law" pantomime every sodding week on MOTD always pisses me off. They should get rid of the entire bunch and start again. Linekar is such a smug prick.
June 10, 200817 yr all good as it turns out http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/e...008/7445476.stm seems though the players don't even know the rules anymore, Kuyt said in the interview after they were all waiting for the flag to go up and were surprised when it didn't even horse face has a good look round to look for a flag as he runs off celebrating

I don't imagine he had any idea where Panucci was when he stuck out a hoof to deflect it in. The plonkers on the telly don't have that excuse (though David Pleat was possibly too busy cracking one off over Dirk Kuyt to be giving the game his full attention).
June 10, 200817 yr was there not a Dutch play off the field also?can't quite remember now. Possibly, though that has no bearing on the offside decision.
June 10, 200817 yr Opens up a bit of a can of worms does this. Understand player has to leave field "intentionally". Was Panucci injured or acting? Ironic that it's RVN benefiting too. Player who's well up for a bit of gamesmanship - though he wasn't obviously.

Player who's well up for a bit of gamesmanship - though he wasn't obviously. A player has to leave the field intentionally if he is to be cautioned. If he leaves the field accidentally during play he is still considered active.

June 10, 200817 yr A player has to leave the field intentionally if he is to be cautioned. If he leaves the field accidentally during play he is still considered active. Bit harsh if his knee's hanging off though.
June 10, 200817 yr Bit harsh if his knee's hanging off though. I agree. But if his knee's hanging off and he's still on the pitch, the same thing applies, doesn't it?
June 10, 200817 yr Bit harsh if his knee's hanging off though. How about if his fetlock is hanging off?
June 10, 200817 yr Author See, I can understand that a bit more. I don't imagine he had any idea where Panucci was when he stuck out a hoof to deflect it in. The plonkers on the telly don't have that excuse (though David Pleat was possibly too busy cracking one off over Dirk Kuyt to be giving the game his full attention). Don't get me started on David Pleat, he was fcuking awful covering Portugal v Turkey, senile old c?nt. He called just about everything wrong.
June 10, 200817 yr Graham Poll came on 5Live last night and said the goal was offside and a dreadful decision. That left me in no doubt it was a legitimate goal!
June 10, 200817 yr Graham Poll came on 5Live last night and said the goal was offside and a dreadful decision. That left me in no doubt it was a legitimate goal! There can be no doubt that Poll is a prize cock. However, I was thinking about this the other day - wouldn't it be more interesting if they had a referee in the studio to give a view on incidents in matches instead of the massed ranks of jobs-for-the-boys jokers we get now.
How offside?
Still, a kick in the balls for all those folk who've taken up being Italian because their Great-Great-Grandfather went there once.
