@kai11chip@javhalpert@JT_Prestil@Lilkey222@FabrizioRomano@MelissaMOrtiz Should I get a red if I jump up for a header and an opposing team falls and lands below me and I land on them seriously injuring them? If you think yes that idk what to say anymore. Just because they’re was almost an injury doesn’t change the nature of a card
🚨🇺🇸 Folarin Balogun will be eligible to face Belgium, after FIFA opted to hand him a suspended one-game ban under Article 27.
The red card stands, but he’s free to play — as @MelissaMOrtiz reported.
@kai11chip@javhalpert@JT_Prestil@Lilkey222@FabrizioRomano@MelissaMOrtiz So ur ok with giving out red cards for ppl naturally landing on the ground after being bumped into the air. U realise that this wasn’t a challenge/tackle right? The def came from behind and made contact with Balo which made him to pop off the ground. Obv he had to land somewhere
@kai11chip@javhalpert@JT_Prestil@Lilkey222@FabrizioRomano@MelissaMOrtiz He was putting his foot down to the ground after the contact from defender caused his body to lift up. Or should players who’s feet leave ground be required to keep their feet in the air for the remainder of the game just in case someone puts their foot where it was going to land
@jpgaultierelix@javhalpert@JT_Prestil@Lilkey222@FabrizioRomano@MelissaMOrtiz I’ve played and watched this sport religiously for 20+ years if you think a player that got bumped into the air should get a Red for landing naturally on the ground then your just plain delusional and there is no point arguing if someone as underdeveloped as you
@javhalpert@JT_Prestil@Lilkey222@FabrizioRomano@MelissaMOrtiz It sets a very dangerous precedent if players start getting sent off for landing. Or if your running and a player cuts you off and your natural running motion ends up on top of someone’s ankle. Those should NEVER be a sending off. You want to give a yellow sure whtvr bt not red!
@pilotsdf@JT_Prestil@Lilkey222@FabrizioRomano@MelissaMOrtiz you just have to understand this: in this type of foul the same criterion is used as in handball fouls, is it your fault to instinctively open your arm inside the area and that the ball hits in the hand? No. do you have to take responsibility? Yes, penalty given. watch football.
@javhalpert@JT_Prestil@Lilkey222@FabrizioRomano@MelissaMOrtiz I’ve watched and played football all my life religiously. Never in 1 million years should you be sent off for landing on the ground. I completely understand if Balo went with excessive force in an attempt to tackle the player but no, he was just landing on the ground
@pilotsdf@JT_Prestil@Lilkey222@FabrizioRomano@MelissaMOrtiz man, this is natural motion too, happened in less than a second, red card given, Balogun could have done EXACTLY the same with the opponent's foot, there are many examples like this, that's why I say it, watch more football
@javhalpert@JT_Prestil@Lilkey222@FabrizioRomano@MelissaMOrtiz You can’t base a red off a freak accident. Is it incredibly unfortunate yes but this should NEVER be a red. As a ref you have to use common sense which appears to be lacking in everyone more and more lately.
@javhalpert@JT_Prestil@Lilkey222@FabrizioRomano@MelissaMOrtiz That’s part of the reason FIFA overruled it, the VAR went against its own rules only showing still images and slo mo without giving the referee views of the real time action. Ref said no card in the original incident then was pressured by the VAR to make a decision
@javhalpert@JT_Prestil@Lilkey222@FabrizioRomano@MelissaMOrtiz I guess when u get shoulder checked in the back/shoulder causing your body to lift up (physics) you are then required to never put the foot that lifted up back down on the ground. Balo before that coming together had ZERO clue that def was behind him. He was putting his foot dwn
@isUGOBIG@dehbreddadeh@Lilkey222@FabrizioRomano@MelissaMOrtiz This is FIFA coming out and saying sorry we fucked up it shouldn’t have been a red but we also have too much pride to fully admit we were incorrect so we are giving him a 1 year probation where if he commits another red he will get an additional 1 game ban
I’m buying 16 copies of College Football 27 to give away to you all. Thanks for another amazing year of this being my job 🫡
