The Football (Soccer) Topic
It's disgusting that there are still no video replays in soccer. One referee moron can miss the fact that Henry played handball before scoring the decisive goal and France goes to World Cup while Ireland - unfairly eliminated. And FIFA says there will be no replay even though everyone, including French players, agrees it would be the best solution to fix this mess - screw this. Had it been Ireland who scored the goal, three guesses what would have been the decision, with Platini as UEFA president...
And then the growing scandal about influencing football matches around Europe - this is no sport anymore.

I've always been against video - it breaks up the game, and if introduced it's going make the average 90 minute game last two hours... However, I'm beginning to waver in these big international matches. There's so much money and prestige involved there that something might have do be done about the referees' inability to see everything. They can't, you know. They're human.
Shame, really... Henry had the chance to go from being a top goalscorer to being a legend. All it took was five little words: "Ref, I handled the ball." I guess he's just a cheater after all.

Well said, Kalah - he notified the referee about it only when the match was already ended, when it was already too late. Had he done it right after scoring the goal, that would have been something and great sportsmanship and probably would have changed the referees decision. I mean, if even the other team players say that there was a handball, they have to be right. Right now all Henry's sorry words don't mean anything.

Well, what exactly do you expect from Henry? He had worse moments (in a situation far less close than in the WC qualifying play-offs). I don't want to know what happens, if the stud hits an eye.arturchix wrote:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6_40ZnFjOo - does it look like he's feeling sorry after the goal?
If that was unintentional, he would have at least asked the keeper if he was o.k., but ...

There was a commission last week to inspect the stadiums around Bulgaria and in Thursday will be decided will there be matches on our stadium... and will there be a stadium at all. Yup, the situation is tragic. The stadium stains with the help of pure magic, after 20 + years of disinterestedness of the state (as government) - not a single $ was put in reconstruction or whatever, the halls are all moist and must, the base itself is (like terrains) on a GRAVEL level (yes, in the 21-st century!) and after all this time of disinterestedness the government says "You don't have a base to have soccer (or whatever) other stuff there, so bye-bye".
Just to mention, that the president of the footy team (known as Kaicho (The-One-Who-Is-Saying) the Lier is there renting from an comrade who purposefully did nothing through these years, so for him to can buy the ground for yellow coins. It's an appetite piece of shit, as there is the most biggest marketplace in Sofia (therefore Bulgaria).
There are talks that the stadium will be demolished... and a new mall will rise from the ashes.

Bulgarian server; works seconds to me. This happens in favor of one of the teams (Levski) of the "authorities" in Bulgaria. I'm fokin' sick of this poop here (the other team is not the one that I support). Happens like each and every time they play. There was even a time when they didn't had a penalty against them for like 3 years, but winning games via penalties all the time.
Last year the other team (CSKA) was given penalty against because two of their players hit each other in our penalty area (can't find a link right now).
I need a nuke...

Only every 4 years. Besides, we rarely qualify.
The problem arose when they expanded the Norwegian Elite league from 14 to 16 teams two years ago. Now the season lasts from April to November, because there's a 3-week holiday in July.
