    I think the problem is the tone people take. They insult the opinion, which is not the same as accepting one.

    That's what he's referring to I think.

    I don't think anyone but me has said to him that he's entitled to his opinion.

    This is also true. And more concerning. We seem to lose these games regularly.

    Weakness?

    You did say that my friend. You’re quite right. Others don’t seem to allow the opinions of others.

    It’s weird? It’s like they get threatening vibes or something.

    By the way if you watch their 2nd goal. Watch Nick pope. My word he’s a liability.

    He was an absolute dick.

    Just to clarify here coz I’m lost at how stupid this seems. Is it your opinion that the rules should change to mean it’s a pen? (Pope incident) or is it your opinion that it was a pen?

    I really hope for your sake after 5 pages of this that it’s the former or you need to go read the rules of the game again. That would outlaw just about every sort of 50/50 and 100% rule out slide tackles and shoulder barges making it a no contact sport.

    It was 'obvious' in that the referee had not seen that touch but if he had he would obviously have made a different decision as the Laws say in that case its not a penalty.

    Therefore, it was a clear and obvious error that he had made the wrong decision.

    He doesn't have to agree with the rules.

    This was what I was repeatedly saying, but he just kept going "wah wah it's my opinion, deal with it". And then claimed to be "brutalised" for having an opinion.

    The rules clearly explain why it wasn't a penalty, so having an "opinion" to the contrary is like having an opinion that we should use a banana instead of a football and saying I'm entitled to that opinion.

    What your failing to understand is that he has she/her and they/them at the end of his emails

    The rules don't matter because he's basically saying he thinks it's a penalty and doenst agree with the rule.

    If people on here just accepted his opinion he wouldn't have went on and on would he?

    The rules don't mean they're right and tbf many of the rules are a load of ****e. I don't agree with GG, but it's his opinion and he's entitled to it. Plain and simple.

    Baldness only happens to men so that's one less thing for you to worry about.

    Google images of people sliding - this is the NATURAL position.

    If people can actually be sensible about contact and handballs (media included) - perhaps one day we could actually get some decent rules that make sense. It doesn't help that everyone bullshits when the decision benefits/hinders them.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_(baseball)#/media/File:Ronald_Acuna_(50337465807)_(cropped).jpg

    I say allow more contact in challenges (particularly upper body contact) - no ball too hand decisions should be given. Also no penalties for challenges that wouldn't be a CLEAR foul outside the box.
