Argentina vs England - 18/07/26

[TRF_Olyy]

Not seeing anything in that from these angles

 

[Quel Carreleur]

That's very dynamic
Too unpredictable to carry any fault for me

 

[mkersyshull]

I'm loving this dead silent crowd

Is anyone there?

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Head on head isn’t foul play? What the ****

 

[Quel Carreleur]

That's harsh IMO

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Surprised at that, I'd have said play on, maybe penalty at most

 

[curtbob7]

Good officiating. Shame WC Officials couldn’t do that sort of thing.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Genge, Heyes, Martin and Chessum all absolutely on it.

They’ve got something in common haven’t they?

Heyes playing well, Chessum and Martin made a few mistakes so far.

 

[BMatt]

Mitigation for the dynamic situation, but he's too high and going higher.

 

[Scotty]

What a game IFW is having. They can barely touch him. Great finish by Earl and the added bonus of a yellow/red card... ill take it.

 

[ncurd]

Gardner terrible the TMO did a good job at pointing it out.

 

[Saintjay]

Genge, Heyes, Martin and Chessum all absolutely on it.

All wish they played for Saints. They'd have another prem winners medal.

 

[AlRums]

Harsh yellow, as Gardner observed player was falling as tackle went in.

 

[Quel Carreleur]

Like that conversation with Genge

 

[Duck a l'Orange]

Harsh yellow, as Gardner observed player was falling as tackle went in.

He still needs to tackle safely. That's a yellow or red without mitigation all day and has been for the last five years.

 

[Scotty]

I'm loving this dead silent crowd

No greater praise from this crowd

 

[BMatt]

Gardner terrible the TMO did a good job at pointing it out.

In general I do like Gardiner, but I think I've seen him be talked into following the laws and processes around head hits in multiple matches.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Pumas are shocking.

 

[Quel Carreleur]

For me, I want to see that again, but no problem whatsoever with ref trusting what he's seen.

ETA: and on replay, he's dead right

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How come we've not attempted to play like this before - will it last or will we revert to form after the pressure on SB slackens a little?

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Felt is was borderline as it gets. TMO was confident, ref less so, went with TMO's decision.

Pen only for other officiating teams

 

[ncurd]

How come we've not attempted to play like this before - will it last or will we revert to form after the pressure on SB slackens a little?

Its the standard one game a year we decide to play with tempo.

 

[AlRums]

He still needs to tackle safely. That's a yellow or red without mitigation all day and has been for the last five years.

It's been discussed many times before in similar cases, the tackled player was falling before the tackle hit therefore there is mitigation as there was no intent.

 

[Rinkadink]

Those are the kind of kicks I want to see.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

F and Freeman with a great understanding. It’s almost like they play for the same club or something.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

They don't like it up 'em!

 

[Rinkadink]

Haha Genge.

Love that.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Now, that’s perfect!

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

That's embarrassing.

I've seen enough.

Get Pollock on for carnage.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Funny how England got warned for pushing yet Argentina players are constantly pushing our players and it’s allowed!!!
