I'm not really surprised at the results of this week's poll asking for people's reactions to the performance of referees this tournament.
How would you rate the refereeing at the World cup, we asked.
A) They have been crap. 2 votes
B) They have been okay. 4 votes
C) Certain players are
to blame for diving
all the time................... 10 votes
There was a nice discussion in the coments section about this question with Spine Kanka Steve arguing that there should have been a d) None of the above because it it is all the fault of Sepp Blatter option. There wasn't of course and so I'm very glad that certain divers got the vote here.
Onto this week's poll:
This World Cup was...
A) Great
B) Rubbish
C) Average
Get to it

Let's not get carried away with all this talk about diving. After all, it is the journalists of this world who are stirring up all the shit and making a mountain out of a mole hill !!!
ReplyDeleteI have noticed (for a long time now !) that journalists get very agitated and tense when everything is going as planned without controversy and when a match has no red cards or a referee (for example) has a good match !!!
As I said in a previous blog... for God sake ...... lay of the Refs, diving, chest butts, etc, and let's talk about the good things about footie !!! Let's be positive and optimistic for a change !!!
Better still....... let's leave the World Cup behind and look forward to League footie, and LIVE footie for real fans .... like us !!
All the best from frustrated Eski Kanka Jim

However, for the benefit of the lovely and charming Miss Zagreb Kankie, Raith Rovers is a famous football team in Scotland from the town of Kirkcaldy, which is just across the River Forth from Edinburgh.
I'm sure we will be hearing a lot more about Raith Rovers when Kircaldy Kanka returns to the UK next month and sends us regular updates.
Welcome back to the blog Miss Zagreb, and as always, it is a pleasure to read your comments.
All the best from knowledgeable Eski Kanka Jim
Overall, a quite dreadful World Cup. And although there was an awful lot of diving and cheating, there was nothing quite as shocking as Rivaldo in the last World Cup. Remember? Semi Final, Turkey v Brazil. He was at the corner flag and the ball was thrown / kicked(?) at him and hit him on the leg. He fell in a most dramatic fashion to the ground, clutching his face and rolling around in fake agony. Surely these players that cheat and dive must feel so embarrassed when they see replays on TV later...?
ReplyDeleteMy dear and sweet Eski I have never gone. :-)And thank you for your explanation. :-)
ReplyDeleteHugs from hot Zagreb!
