Trained to do all that(baffles me how), then has its head yanked all ways for 7 minutes, frothing its head off. Gets a wee carrot when its done. Germany probably have teams of people attending to them 24 hours a day. Horse porn on the TV...the lot. Efficency and attention to detail is the key. That's why they own the horse dancing. I'm sure the German horses, will be big stars in the world of German porn movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 Ref wins it for NZ in rugby 7's against GB. GB won every scrum until one they needed to secure win and from nowhere, she gives penalty to NZ. Quickly followed by yellow card for high tackle, after penalising NZ for same offence but without yellowing their player. Refereeing on reputation, not rules.

Malinga the Swinga Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 Hockey again. Umpire gives penalty flick for non existent foul when Dutch were shooting. I mean, she missed ball completely and GB player didn't touch or obstruct her. Video review backs umpire when you can see there's no offence. It's a shocking standard of umpiring considering its Olympics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooperstar Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I find a lot of what I see during the Olympics very impressive. Hockey is up there. I know from high school how difficult I found it and how useless I was at it, never mind at the pace these ones play it at. I don't know why they get so excited about penalty corners though. They never score them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never score them. International teams should be aiming for 1 goal in 3 attempts from penalty corners. The suicide run to block was never a favourite of mine, given it was ages before masks and gloves were worn. One Dutch defender doesn't wear mask which these days, is a major risk. One thing hasn't changed though and that is umpires are terrible. Video should help but the camera work isn't great from whoever is covering. Doesn't help ball goes so fast, but umpires should be doing better. And before anyone asks, yes I have done it and it isn't easy, but they're supposed to be the elite.

Boof Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Not impressed with the GB women jersey design. The player's name (in red) is positioned so that half is on white and half is on navy blue rendering it unreadable. No comment from me on the umpiring as I've never played the game but I'll believe MtS (above). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinga the Swinga Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 One last thing. Any chance of BBC using commentator who has actually played hockey and not just random journalist who happens to be available. He doesn't know why fouls are given or what tactics are being used and just guesses. It's very frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
