that's what shoe horns are for

we're talking about insults not fouls in general. almost no one cares that players are not punished for saying merda and are sent off/banned later on for other insults. obviously you care, because what the fuck kind of reasoning is this? :cry:

that's the way it already is lol, some insults no one cares about and some can get you banned for months. I thought this forum was for footie fans not haters, what are you doing here Seven?

It's what is happening in footie right now lol and you present it as unimaginable :lol: Daily banter goes unnoticed and no one cares, but as soon as someone crosses the line, f.e. Suarez and Evra or Materazzi and Zidane, they risk being banned. The line is already drawn and it's done by common...

basically yeah, saying to a player "you look like a toad" is okay, saying "you're a disgusting black monkey" is not okay, makes perfect sense for me.

the post below is what you quoted, it's a few weeks old. if you don't get that some insults imo are okay and some are not from that post, then I can't help you

I made the argument long ago that most of the players don't go over the line when insulting, still waiting for you to get it. Of course banter and winding up exists and I'm fine with it, but I highly doubt insults like the ones Costa apparently made are widespread in nowadays game at the elite...

you said there are tons, please, post a few

so please post a few with Giorgio, I'm really curious what you'll come up with :D

Care to share an example? Surely if Chiellini does it all the time, there are a few videos of him insulting someone or a few interviews of someone coming out and revealing it?

I disagree, I believe Juve players and most football players don't go around every game whispering "your mother is a whore" in other players ears. It's nowhere close as widespread as time wasting.

I'm not a fan of time-wasting, but I acknowledge that it's part of the sport I watch and pretty much everyone does it when the need arises and I don't see why cry about it for weeks when it happens against a team I support, because I know that the team I support would do the same and I wouldn't...

Why not?

Sorry, I don't follow your menstruation logic this morning. I was actually rooting hard for Italy in 2006 due to many of my favorite ever players like Del Piero, Buffon and Mauro playing for them. The only NT I'm an unconditional fan of is Latvia, when they're out, which is almost always :D, I'm...

@Seven please help him - - - Updated - - - I can certainly jump without flapping my arms around like that :D honestly, I think it was a stupid reflex from Perisič, as in somewhat intentional, but not well-thought

you should stop hoping that footie will become some dream gentleman sport of yours and embrace it for what it is :D I can't imagine a single world class player who doesn't do everything in his power to win

France are extremely efficient there, Griezmann with his broken run-ups and excellent deliveries is an excellent free-kick taker, but, to be honest, it was lucky that freekick went in, usually Croatia is strong when it comes to defending dead ball situations, Mario just turned off for that one.

Yeah, but through actions which directly influenced the goal. Freekick contributes only so much to a goal scored, probably less than 5% result in a goal. I'm okay with every freekick being VAR responsibility, but I'm not okay for refs spending 2 minutes reviewing videos every time, so if VAR...

I don't think anyone wants goals cancelled because a freekick was reviewed post factum, sounds silly to me. So either VAR effectively becomes the main referee and takes responsibility for all fouls and corners or it stays as it is with VAR intervening only when absolutely necessary. I...
