It is now time to switch to a new Money AM football blog as the world cup is now over and we all look to the future.....World cup 2010 is over, Bravo Espana, and Forlan, once again and bring on the new season !.....I never expected the last thread to be such a success...thanks all.... so this new one might go on for years without the need to edit the title...we shall see...

Once again it's not about going back or forward it's simply about upholding the present Laws of the game. We have had far to much slippage in that area over the years with weak refereeing. Hats off to the ref. who simply got it right last night.

No he got it wrong.

Not one person on the panels on both BBC and ITV thought it was a penalty.

It was trending on twitter out of about 500 people 2 thought it was a penalty.

He also ruled out a perfecly good goal for Croatia aswel.

Weak ref. BUT sticking to FIFAs pre tournament instructions.

Id rather be entertained than turned off by sticking to an out of date rule book.

Anyway Stan if your so set on rules why arent you mentioning the fact that the Croatian goalkeeper moved verticaly forward (not horizontaly along his line)before Neymar made contact with the ball.?

If your going by the rule book the ref should have blown up and warned him and Neymar would have had to start again.

Yet again (how many more times) you fail to understand that just as in general life unless the Laws of the game are going to be upheld (with some discretion as football is sport) then it's back to the jungle like in the Thatcher years.

However if it's purely entertainment that you want then try day time TV I suppose.

What happened to football in the Thatcher years then?

Bloddy hell Skinny there is enough on that subject to fill another thread on it's own -):

I thought the notorious word "Thatcher" might raise some comment amongst some people -):

Stan stop talking stupid, if it was a penalty going by your interpretation of the law, then by definition the Croation goalkeeper broke the law and should have been reprimanded and Neymar should have been pulled up on his run in to take the peanalty and asked to start again.

Do you not understand logic how many more times do I have to drum it home.

Id start watching the Xfactor if i were you and you might come into the modern world instead of being sat on your rag and bone horse cart.

Thats it from me i cant be bothered going back to the durasic days.

Oh dear.. how immature of you.

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
