Euro 2008

I am not two years old. I can read. I do not need pictures to spell things out for me.

If using a direct quote from the mother fucking president of FIFA saying exactly what I'm claiming somehow doesn't make me right, then what the fuck would? Do I need to get Joseph Blatter on the phone to confirm to your dumb ass that it's still the rule? Maybe instead you could look up one of the many recent articles where Blatter bitches about tackles from behind. I used the one from 1998 because that's where he makes a clear, specific quote saying exactly what I'm claiming. And again, if a direct quote from the president of FIFA isn't good enough for you, nothing would be.

At this point it's clear that you're just being an asshole and refusing to acknowledge an obvious truth because I'm the one saying it and you have a personal grudge against me.

PROVE THAT IT'S OUTDATED. SHOW ME ANYTHING AT ALL INDICATING THAT JOSEPH BLATTER, THE PRESIDENT OF FIFA, HAS CHANGED HIS MIND ABOUT ALL TACKLES FROM BEHIND BEING A DANGER TO THE PLAYER. SHOW ME YOUR FUCKING EVIDENCE.

 

Once again:

PARIS, March 11 (1998): FIFA on Tuesday told coaches and referees that all tackles from behind should be punished with a red card at the World Cup finals.

``All tackling from behind is considered to endanger the physical integrity of the opponent, so no tackling from behind will be tolerated by Fifa,'' the world body's general secretary Sepp Blatter said.

``Officially from July 1, but effectively from the kick-off of the World Cup finals on June 10, all tackles from behind will be sanctioned by a red card everywhere on the field of play,'' he told a news conference at the end of Fifa's World Cup workshop with the 32 finalists.

The international football association board, the game's law making body, passed an amendment to Law 12 on Fouls and Misconduct at a meeting last month.

The amendment designates the tackle from behind as serious foul play and therefore a sending-off offence. However, referees at the workshop wondered whether the tackle had physically to endanger a player for the tackler to be sent off. Blatter told referees that all tackles from behind should receive red cards.

``It's impossible for the referee to see if a tackle is dangerous or not because all tackles from behind put in danger the physical integrity of the opponent,'' he said.

 

show me in the 2008 law book that it directly says that tackles from behind shall result in a red card.


you can't.

i win.

the end.

 

Answer the fucking question. Did Joseph Blatter, the president of FIFA, say:

"All tackling from behind is considered to endanger the physical integrity of the opponent."


Yes or no? Did he say that or not?

 

in response to your pm collin, i'm not arguing with you because i want to argue with you and if the roles were reversed, i'd call vp out too.

soccer officiating is something i've complained about, and been apart of for almost 24 years. so, i'm going to comment on it no matter who is posting.

and if you can't find exact quotes in the rule book, then you can't argue your point.

the lawbook is pretty specific on what constitutes obstruction, what constitutes a direct kick, and even has pictures explaining offsides.

yet, nowhere in the 2008-09 law book does it state what you are claiming.

that to me makes something even posted in 2007 outdated.

 

ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION. DID HE SAY THAT OR NOT? YES OR NO?

 

does the 2008 law book say anything about tackles from behind resulting in a red card?

answer it.

yes or no.


not knowing what someone said 10 years ago and reading that book, would a referee know to send someone off automatically from a tackle from behind?


answer it.

 

Why are you scared to answer the question? I know why, and it's because you can already see where I'm going with this argument. But stop being a coward and answer my question, then I will answer yours.

Did Joseph Blatter, the president of FIFA, say:

"All tackling from behind is considered to endanger the physical integrity of the opponent."?

YES or NO?

 

I hate to break it to you, but using you crappy ass logic from this post, all tackles warrant cards.

 

Hey Collin, how many people - besides the 2 you have already pmed - are you going to pm because their comments expose you as the fraud you so obviously are.
