The Finns are pulling the rabbit out of the hat in this one. Some amazing defensive play in the area.
Yes by the book a correct call. Just seems crazy an off balance defensive touch stands when the forward is 4 yards off in the box means he can tap it hope. But a guy being a hair off 40 yards from goal is called back. I just hate the splitting the atom offside VAR when something like this counts lol.Correct call because the defender played the ball no?
I did, in fact, turn it off. I’m not pissed, I’m not outraged. You’re bemoaning a straw man. It was not necessary to show what they showed. They did eventually cut to a shot of the entire stadium, which was fine. It was not the moment to show close ups and reactions. It was handled poorly. I understand that it was a difficult situation and grant that there is no playbook but I think discussion and criticism is warranted if we want to avoid future shots of a distraught wife wondering whether her husband is dead on the pitch. And anyone who wants to complain about not getting fairly close shots of a man maybe literally dying on TV is not someone I’m worried about. Theoretical people who would have been mad are also a complete red herring if the actual people who are actually mad are correct to be so. I don’t need anyone’s head but we should ask them to be betterYou could have turned it off, no?
That's what I meant in my first post about this. You're pissed at the production. But what are they supposed to do, pretend it didn't happen? If they did that, another entirely different group of people would be pissed. So my point is that this entire outrage cycle over everything is just a constant race to the bottom. People are just mad and they cannot wait to tell you how mad they are.
It happens at least once a match. Love it. Also love when TT tries to display a dry sense of humor and Champion leaves dead air.I feel like every time TT engages Jon Champion in a faux debate, Champion just rolls his eyes. Notice the awkward silence of the last exchange
Jon Champion leaving dead air is only second to Martin Tyler leaving dead air. Back when Champion was still on EPL World Feed, I'd have to make sure the audio was still on b'c he would leave large pockets without a wordIt happens at least once a match. Love it. Also love when TT tries to display a dry sense of humor and Champion leaves dead air.
He’s amazing right now. I didn’t watch much of Inter this season, caught a few games, but I’ve watched all of Belgium’s games and he’s been borderline unplayable. Physical gifts honed, mental game locked down.Just a quick Lukaku appreciation post. He’s no longer that young explosion of energy. He’s honed his game and executes the essential duties of a striker at the highest levels. What an incredible player.
