did he touch the ref? i didnt watch the game. i can't see any amount of talking that justifies removing a goal keeper before a penalty 8 minutes after 90'.

All Im saying is that taking a penalty in circustance A is not the same as taking it in circustance B.

Im not saying Buffon shouldnt have been sent off.

bolded part is irrelevant. I don't know what Buffon said but I'm all for players not being able to verbally abuse refs without consequences, legend or not Players get away with too much pathetic stuff so i'm going to guess it was justified

The moment its 11 vs 10 then the pressure of the penalty is much less. Thats the whole point. That is why teams who kick first in PK shootouts win 57% of the time instead of 50% of the time.

Also lol at this thread thinking that taking a penalty 11 vs 11 is the same as taking it 11 vs 10.

People are implicitly saying it when they say "well if Buffon was on goal he woudnt have saved it anyway".

Anyway, would very prefer the ref show massive amounts of leniency in situations like that, rather than worry about his own delicate sensibilities, which are completely meaningless

correct should've been giving buffon a yellow and then a red if he kept talking **** imo. I bet a yellow would have made him stop and get back to his senses.

yes. pulled him back, then a slight bodycheck. you wont get away with that. Cant find a good quality vid, but one of the replays clearly showed it.

ah right enough. my bad. Although it is kind of hard to argue that it would have been the same spot. obviously it has different implications

in England you wont get away with pulling the referee, let alone going in with your chest for a bump like Buffon did.

for example

It was obviously wrong from a viewer standpoint, and we are all viewers here

Cashy and fanny would remind you now that they indeed aren't just viewers, but weekend kickabout dominators. But they're not around any more.

i hope Real and Pool are on separate sides of the bracket, so we finally get Ronnie vs Messi in the finals.

Thing is refs have to be calm and reasoned so they can’t generally or instantly relate to emotional reactions in these spots - we all know that getting upset like that never changes the decision, buffon knows this, every player knows this - but emotional states rarely make sense* and these things keep happening and will continue to happen. He wasn’t physically abusive - he’s a passionate man, just give him a yellow imo and whatever he said was heat of the moment stuff and accept a letter of apology in the post.

*more they make sense but in certain spots aren’t considered acceptable behaviour.
