Have to say that if I was a dane I would be seriously concerned about our chances of getting through this group today - their game is only on 15 minutes at this stage, and the referee is already showing a strong bias towards the French. There was a questionable penalty decision where I suspect a var inspection would have seen a penalty awarded to Denmark, but the ref totally dismissed appeals to check it. Straight afterwards a Danish forward was blatantly fouled just outside the French area and the ref refused to award the free, and just now the danes were denied a blatant corner :evil:

I never had an issue with poor calls from match officials, but the integrity and corruption of fifa and match officials is brought into the public debate every time decisions seem to favour the big teams and/or big players

Liam Brady was hilarious and right on RTE last night. He said the ref was a joke and a disgrace for not sending off the Ladyboy for the elbow. He said it was typical FIFA the most corrupt sports body in the world wanting the big name players in the tournament no matter what they do.... and the poxy know-nothing pc fuckwit presenter nearly shit his pants live on air. Quality entertainment. :lol:

Iran for their part are a disgrace. But in all honesty this world cup for me has just confirmed where the game is in general.... a money obsessed shit fest played by selfish self obsessed pampered diving cheating posers, run by corrupt spineless pc wànkers and watched by snowflake bandwagon jumping insta-fans..... :censored:
Haven't seen Chippy on the gogglebox over here in god knows how long but great to hear that he called out FIFA over the current state of footie :D Let's get him over to do some work for the beeb :barscarf:

As for the second part of your post, you bastard :D you could hurt somebody's feelings saying things like that :D ......but then again they are a bunch of cu.nts so maybe you have hit the nail on the head :D 8)

Have to say that most of the time I find brady to be a hard watch on tv - he comes across as a bitter, stubborn and disrespectful old man most of the time, and he seems to think that he is a genius and the rest of the world are fools :roll:

I think we all know a few like that :wink:

I definitely get the impression that fifa would do whatever they could to guarentee that spain and portugal got through last night, and that most "top sides" are going to be kept in for as long as possible in this wc. gonna be interesting to see how they fix the argies v nigeria tonight :barscarf:

He always came across as a pretty blunt kind of boy and I suppose if some twat presenter is asking him the most stupid question of the day then he might not come across that well if he isn't of a mind to play along. I suppose it must be hard listening to and watching some of the shite that is spoken about the game these days when you played when he did (and were as good as he was.) It must piss him off watching some talentless prick like Savage spouting about how he would have done it.

Having met Chippy when I was a star struck kid and in awe of my then hero I can unfortunately confirm augie's summation of him : a rude ignorant grumpy bastard. :|

However I agree with you Jock it must be mind numbing for him to listen to tools like Keith Andrews talking as if he was a proper footballer rather than a no mark. :roll:

Iran are a fucking disgrace so good riddance to them. As for the ref and the VAR team wtf were they on to give that penalty.

Ronnie missing his pen came back to bite the Portuguesers at the end of the day.........
Btw where is 1989 now, not going on about Ronaldo single handedly winning the world cup because he's on a mission :lol:

For a squad supposedly packed full of quality players France have fucking stunk out this World Cup. They are absolute dire to watch, putrid football.

They’ve got a lot of depth there as they’ve left players out that would walk into just about any other squad.

But they’re also short on real quality. Their whole side is built around Griezmann and the myth of Pogba. Unlike Spain and Germany they haven’t got a consistent style of play as they’ll chop and change the side based on media and fan pressure.
