Guest Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 55 minutes ago, markowl said: I understand that a ball going out for a throw in early in the game doesn't affect the outcome of the match. But you carry on with your faux outrage if it makes you happy. It might not happen very often but teams do score goals in the opening minute or two of a game every now and again. Trying to deliberately kick the ball into touch for the first two minutes will negate a teams chances of doing that. But if you're happy that hard up top flight footballers needed to supplement their income in this way far enough, each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect Clinton, Sue Smith and one other unless they just go with 3 whilst social distancing is needed Is that Hillary or Bill Clinton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fink, wiv, futbler, why can't we have pundits who at least speak somewhere near English? I hear a few that say “futbuller” or “futbowl” but I think it’s just a southerner/accent thing to be fair.

How many times have you watched a match and, when the ball goes out for a throw in for the first time, you switch off because the whole outcome of the game is decided?

I'll agree it's not in the spirit of the game, but no way would it affect the outcome of any game. See if you can debate without resorting to petty insults.

Anything that happens within the game can affect the outcome of the game. If he kicks the ball out he's given the other team possession. That's not good is it?

The former refers to the placing of a wager on an event within a sporting contest that is unrelated to the final outcome. From the official account of the incident. I'll ask again, because last time you resorted to insulting me, but when you watch a match, do you switch off after the first thrown in because the outcome of the match has been decided?

Could change the outcome of the game not will change the outcome of the game. This is a similar argument (although not as clear cut) as the Pakistani bowlers, people defending them were saying 'it's only one ball' what if that one ball got a wicket? Zero tolerance needed from the authorities on things like this, it's pure greed and dishonesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
