Courtois saves that 10/10 times ffs

by El Gunner Tue May 09, 2023 9:58 pm

okay i admit, i sinned. Son is a different beast. I still think he can improve in some areas of his game, and i want to see him do something for Brazil as well. But he was clearly the standout player in that game... a game full of quality players all round.

Saka will put up another case next season Molenation

Only the captain should be allowed to even talk to the ref, players crying and constantly bitching about every single thing even if they know they are lying absolutely disgusts me

This would make sense in a sport like basketball. a smaller court and players being relatively close to one another during play especially with the implementation of the defensive 3 second rule and players being within an arm length of their defensive assignment. People have been trying to advocate this for football, but lets think of the basics.

The winger gets tackled and he feels rightly or wrongly that the ref should call it. The captain is a defender or hell, a goalkeeper. What the hell will the captain speak to the ref about, the ref was even closer to the play than the captain was. Can someone enlighten me on what the skipper should say?

Besides in basketball, there are so many rules that it makes sense for a captain talking to the ref. Football is a very basic sport and is quite different. The offside rule might be the most difficult rule in the sport and it really isnt that difficult. There are times when the skipper should speak to the ref, but imo that should only occur when the ref initiates that meeting- situations where they'll call the 2 captains and basically tell them "hey talk to your group".

Sorry bro but how is that even an argument? I've been watching football for 20+ years and I've never seen a ref change his mind because a player bitched about it or had an opinion.

A player can voice his displeasure to the cap. We also have VAR now so the captain can challenge the decision like in tennis perhaps, after input from the players. The way everyone crowds the ref and scream in his face all the time is appaling to me and need to end.

It will probably not end cause the suits probably like the tension, good television.

I never said the ref will change their mind, don't think i mentioned that once anywhere. and players (for the most part) don't talk to the refs just cos they feel the refs will change their minds. they also do it for future calls, or to get the ref to watch out for one player. its all mind games, and obviously there is the occasional try to get someone booked. either way, the basis of my whole point, that having captains as the only ones who can speak to refs on the field of play is unrealistic in a sport like footy.

Who remembers some years back when Vini would attempt that kind of shot and it would end up as a throw-in for the opposing team

I do, he's come a long way from being the butt of jokes to the best winger in the world

A GL poster being reasonable after facts show otherwise? We have truly grown up, this is a first.

by titosantill Sat Dec 30, 2023 12:18 pm

him hell probably the tattoo artist as well never saw the goat of all goats in any team sport play basketball. they probably just did copy and paste from a bad picture or maybe the artist was drawing off one of those youtube videos that has the clip mirrored or something crazy lol. that was the first thing i noticed when i saw this pic, even before reading your comment below. i was like they made mike a lefty?

What the hell

Unpopular opinion, tattoos are cringe and this is a perfect example

by Arquitecto Sat Dec 30, 2023 4:40 pm

Lmao, imagine having another man tattooed on your back as if being anal about which player is on your jersey isn't lame enough Laughing

by El Gunner Sat Dec 30, 2023 4:51 pm

my Starboy could never... tattooless and inspirational

I'm jumping over to Saka train

by The Madrid One Sat Dec 30, 2023 4:58 pm

Lol, in general I think Vinicius has a very gaudy style to him, and this kinda comes off as that. Hell, I'd say that most tattoo styles are gaudy and tasteless except those that are more minimal, small, sparse, and modernist in style. Can't recall seeing any tattoos on footy players that don't just look like cliche ink blotches in tired styles.

Ali and Pele seem to look good though, could have turned out better.

Edit: In fact... Considering what it is, its a few small but ultimately big details away from being pretty good for what it is imo.

by Arquitecto Sat Dec 30, 2023 5:09 pm

The new counterculture is no tattoos. Getting one is cliched by this point. Forget Saka the best example of it is Ronaldo who is without a single one.

by Warrior Sat Dec 30, 2023 5:22 pm

Well the tattoo itself is beautiful from artistic standpoint

I just wonder how he got Jordan as lefty, of course you cannot find a picture of Jordan shooting free throws with his left hand, maybe an emergency jump shot at the buzzer taken with the left hand for some reason, either it's not a reversed picture otherwise the jersey would also be reversed.

by Myesyats Sat Dec 30, 2023 6:50 pm

Minimalist tattoos are fine, this is just straight up awful. If you want your whole back covered then buy a shirt. There is no sense or taste in it

Also he clearly has a poor mentality, so this is ironic, even.

by halamadrid2 Sat Dec 30, 2023 7:11 pm

I am definitely team "tattoos are cringe"

What happens when his skin starts sagging. It's going to look awful

I never understood the tattoo craze to begin with, especially on women. It's ugly lol.

by Turok_TTZ Sun Dec 31, 2023 6:25 am

Perhaps he looks for inspiration? Some get tattoos for inspiration or as a reminder for something not to be forgotten. Many are like that.

So long as he doesn't regret it ive no qualms.
