WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:05.839 Bart home boy, we got plenty of reffing down here 2 00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:09.039 to get into. But before you, oh look at you 3 00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:14.400 the leonor Ryan near this morning. Yeah, busting out the 4 00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:16.960 leonor Ryan gear. Nicely done. 5 00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:19.920 How did they How did they do this weekend? Do 6 00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:21.039 you know? By the way at the top. 7 00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:23.879 Well, a lot of our athletic teams won this weekend, 8 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:25.199 so very good. 9 00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:28.160 Well there you go, as always, And I. 10 00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:30.920 Have nothing for the women's soccer team over Emory and Henry. 11 00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:31.839 So that was a good one. 12 00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:34.600 Well well, I mean, you know, it looks like they were. 13 00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:36.439 It looks like Emery and Henry. We're just playing with 14 00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:40.759 only two. So well yeah, Bill and Mary, Emory and Henry. 15 00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:45.280 They're always playing shorthanded, all right, So reffing down here. 16 00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:48.679 We do know that there's plenty to talk about, right uh, 17 00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:51.920 But what I wanted to do was start by discussing 18 00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:56.240 what happened with the U twenties on the women's side. Yeah, 19 00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:01.640 getting the bronze medal in Colombia and doing it on 20 00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:06.120 a one hundred and nineteenth minute winner to get the 21 00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:10.920 bronze in an international tournament. So Hazahs and Serpentina to 22 00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:13.439 the youth national team and the U twenty side. 23 00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:16.200 Yeah, I mean, I think first off, we have to 24 00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:21.120 understand that North Korea does this particular competition very well, 25 00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:24.560 especially when you consider how they're not very good at 26 00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:28.280 the senior level. I won't speculate as to why they're 27 00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:31.159 somehow really good at the U twenty level, but. 28 00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:37.239 Just before military duty, eh. 29 00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:39.439 But you know, there is just saying these youth tournaments 30 00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:45.319 are about possibly finding some players to help with the 31 00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:49.560 next cycle. Right, you get two U twenty World Cups 32 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:52.159 basically per cycle. So if you get one or two 33 00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:58.959 from each U twenty tournament, right, maybe three, then you've won. 34 00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:01.920 And I think we show that there are three, four, 35 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:07.079 maybe even five players that can potentially earn roles with 36 00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:10.360 the US women's national team coming up in you know, 37 00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:12.199 the twenty twenty seven cycle that we're now in. 38 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:18.159 One hundred nineteenth minute winner for Maddy Dolling and it 39 00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:20.560 was a two to one win against the Netherlands bronze 40 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.000 medal in the twenty twenty four U twenty Women's World 41 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:27.960 Cup at the Estadio El kampen In in Bogata. So 42 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:32.360 Americans best finish in the past five World Cups, dating 43 00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:34.840 back to their third and most recent title in twenty twelve, 44 00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.039 second success in the bronze medal game, last taking third 45 00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:40.439 in two thousand and four in Thailand. 46 00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:42.919 Yeah yeah, I mean again. 47 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.120 This is I think this is good progress for a 48 00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.240 team that has struggled in the past editions of this, 49 00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:57.400 of this tournament, I still maintained that the coach is yes, 50 00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:02.520 yeahy Sivons has held this programm back for multiple World Cups. 51 00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:05.520 She will no longer be coaching the U twenty side. 52 00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:09.599 She is being shuffled to a desk job. Hopefully not 53 00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:15.039 for long either. But again, this is I have stayed 54 00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:19.719 on the same thought process for the longest, for the longest. 55 00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:22.719 Tide youth tournaments are great to participate in. You want 56 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:26.240 to see good play, you want to see some promising talent. 57 00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.560 But this was even I think, you know, this finally 58 00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:34.039 met expectations, John right, Like I think for the longest time, 59 00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:35.960 we've been like wired. Our you twenty is doing well. 60 00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:40.599 And the fact that they get bronze, they beat the Netherlands, 61 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:42.639 a country that we've been told is caught up to us, 62 00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:44.879 went farther than Spain, a country that we've been told 63 00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:48.280 has surpassed us with players by the way who were 64 00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:50.800 playing in NWSL, a league that we were told isn't 65 00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:52.759 good enough to compete with the rest of the world. 66 00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:57.479 That is, that is truly the wonderful thing here. 67 00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.360 Also, let's see so running through the superlatives. Ali Center's 68 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.400 goal her third of the Women's World Cup after her 69 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:06.520 goal in Germany was changed to an og twelfth of 70 00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:09.479 her U twenty career, also scored in the twenty twenty 71 00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.280 two U twenty Women's World Cup, ends her U twenty 72 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.599 career with four World Cup goals. Geselle Thompson's assists her 73 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.959 second of attorney Pietro Tordin, leading scorer in the tournament, 74 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:21.279 finishes her U twenty career six goals in thirteen U 75 00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:25.319 twenty caps. Dudley scores twice, giving her five U twenty 76 00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:26.600 goals and thirteen appearances. 77 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:28.839 Local whoop woop. I think that's what the kids do 78 00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:29.199 these days? 79 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.480 Did they still did the whoop poop when they celebrate 80 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:36.000 Euni McCormick two goals to assists all the tournament awards 81 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.199 announced after the twenty four FIFA U twenty Women's World 82 00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:43.040 Cup Final in Bogata featuring Korea and Japan. Teagan why 83 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.839 A backup in twenty twenty two Stellar Roll Tournament, several 84 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:51.160 key saves contributing to the eventual bronze medal. So twenty 85 00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.879 six to eleven in shots, nine on three shots on goal, 86 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.319 two saves for the US compared to eight for the Netherlands. 87 00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.120 Seventeen corner kicks for the US match. 88 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:02.519 That's pretty a performance against the Netherlands. Now, granted it's 89 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:04.920 a bronze medal match, but you know that that is 90 00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:08.560 also john kind of the mentality building, a rebuilding, I 91 00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:11.480 should say of this program, where you know, in the 92 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:16.560 past the US women always take bronze medal game. Seriously, 93 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:18.639 that is just as important to walk away with the 94 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:22.399 medal at any level, right, And so to see the 95 00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:27.759 girls come out with such a powerful and meaningful performance 96 00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:32.439 in a match that most teams wouldn't really care about, right, 97 00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:34.480 I think that's fair to say the third place match. 98 00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:35.959 Is generally just like we're here. 99 00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:41.360 That's great again, rebuilding the mentality, the winning mentality of 100 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:42.519 the program. 101 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:45.560 Uh and you know the beauty of staring at my 102 00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:54.160 mail means this. We actually have even more breaking news, 103 00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:58.959 and it's a venue announcement. US Soccer selects Saint Lewis 104 00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:04.199 to host critical CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal November eighteen. So 105 00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:08.160 US Soccer has selected Saint Louis, mo well that. 106 00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:09.800 That actually is a good I think that's a good location. 107 00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:12.720 Saint Louis, you know, has proven to be a pretty 108 00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:17.240 well supported MLS team, and it makes sense to go 109 00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:20.800 from Saint Louis to probably a Central American country looking 110 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:25.639 like Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala, maybe Jamaica. 111 00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:30.319 Maybe A kickoff for City Park set for eight o'clock 112 00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:35.759 on November eighteen. Match broadcast on every network imaginable. 113 00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:37.120 I think the problem is they had to fly in 114 00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.759 and out of Saint Louis International, which is by far 115 00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.040 one of the worst experiences. 116 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:47.839 And Lambert so Lambert Lambert has not improved. Huh. 117 00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:49.560 They spend all the money on the other side of 118 00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:51.639 the state for that airport approval. 119 00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:57.879 TNT true Universo, Max Peacock and FDP Radio first step 120 00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.519 toward their fourth straight CONCA CAB Nations League TITOL.

You're a fan of the Grand Final, 187 00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:22.200 the Grand Finals coming up in Australian rules football. And 188 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:26.279 to be perfectly honest, looking at that play, I swear 189 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:29.519 to god, the only thing missing was the play by 190 00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:32.240 play with Callum and Kellen going it's a mark you know? 191 00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:37.279 Is something like that from Australians? What in the blue 192 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:38.799 hell play? 193 00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:43.840 Okay, so I understand why Atlanta U added fans went 194 00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:44.840 let's be called a foul. 195 00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:50.039 It does appear that. 196 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:55.480 The headache the attacker jumps on top of Omador. 197 00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:57.840 It does appear that he. 198 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:04.639 Invades maybe his vertical personal space, oh personal vertical space. 199 00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:11.480 Oh yeah, whatever modifier needs to be in. However, I 200 00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:13.960 think the issue that we're looking at here is the 201 00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:18.000 attacker doesn't use his arms or any other part of 202 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:23.000 his body to gain that aerial advantage. And the other 203 00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:28.679 problem is Amador is backing up. He is moving backwards, 204 00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:32.360 possibly into the same vertical space that we're claiming he occupies. 205 00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:35.600 That vertical space may be occupied by the attacker at 206 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.720 that point in time, I really didn't have an issue 207 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:42.840 with this not being called I'll be quite honest, because 208 00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:48.000 it didn't seem to me that he used any sort 209 00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.639 of unfair advantage outside of apparently being able to jump 210 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.559 like an NBA player. And while we want to be 211 00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:02.200 upset that he eventually does contact, that contact is mainly 212 00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:05.000 because Amodor backs up into him. He seems to be 213 00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:14.320 the one who has gained control of that space. And again, 214 00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:16.279 he doesn't use his arms. He doesn't like push off 215 00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:18.080 of them, he doesn't push into them. 216 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:22.240 It looked fairly legal. I'm really sorry, guys. 217 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:25.399 Okay, Like I said, I mean that that it turned 218 00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:28.799 into a h it turned into an issue and turned 219 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.519 into a hot button topic for goal number four. 220 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:35.399 But it did, and it's not not controversial. I just 221 00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:39.360 think that as the referee, you look across. 222 00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:41.360 You. 223 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:44.080 You know you have some advantage with the ar right, 224 00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:46.440 but if you don't see the actual foul. Again, we 225 00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:49.159 don't see him pushing down. You have an ar there 226 00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:50.440 who could have possibly given you. 227 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:51.360 Some direction as well. 228 00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.159 But it it just seemed to me that he won 229 00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:00.159 the position one control of that space before Amador got there. 230 00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:05.320 And when you look at it on broadcast, you can 231 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:10.759 clearly see to me that he is moving in this 232 00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:12.840 way amin or is moving that way, and he is 233 00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:17.919 just the one jumping and he doesn't necessarily fly into him. 234 00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:21.559 He goes fairly straight up and down, which is another 235 00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:24.039 thing that we are kind of looking for. You know, 236 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:27.000 it's not quite the same as basketball. We do try 237 00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:29.159 to make sure that you have you know. 238 00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:30.120 Your vertical space. 239 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:33.039 But so the principle of verticality. 240 00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:35.279 Yeah, the principle of verticality is still somewhat applies, but 241 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:38.360 again you have to be in control of that vertical space. 242 00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:41.080 And I don't think Amador got it unfortunately. 243 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:45.720 Okay, Like I said that, this is I'm gonna go 244 00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:47.559 back and watch the match, and then I will go 245 00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:49.679 back and I will zuppruder the film so I can 246 00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:52.519 sit there and see principles of verticality. 247 00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:54.080 If there any advantages or gained or anything like that. 248 00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:57.720 Okay, the other element of the weekend, and this gives 249 00:13:57.799 --> 00:13:59.600 us a chance to kind of talk about things in 250 00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:02.799 the the Premier League as well, since we already talked 251 00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:08.440 about the possible takeover of Everton. Oh my god, one 252 00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:12.240 of the world's national nightmares might actually be over by 253 00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:15.080 the Freakin Group and that creates another nightmare. Just ask Nick, 254 00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:19.480 I'm sure is the matchup with Arsenal and Manchester City. 255 00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:23.639 So first and foremost, where Comma Sircama capital s were 256 00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:26.200 you when this match was going on? 257 00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:27.000 I was. 258 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:33.399 Running after teenagers amount of soccer field being yelled at 259 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:34.240 by various of them. 260 00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:38.600 God lord, oh boy, so you got you had to 261 00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:41.399 You had to watch this on like later. 262 00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:44.919 And I yeah, I had to check with it on 263 00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:49.080 my fot mob map as I'm going app as I'm 264 00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:55.440 going around and games. I thought for a second about 265 00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:57.120 asking one of the boys on the bench. 266 00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:58.399 Like, Hey, who's got a phone? You can give me 267 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:02.120 an update QUI. There was some hot takes. 268 00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:04.120 Some of them included Messi as only a top ten 269 00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:07.840 player by the way, And I didn't I was on 270 00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:13.159 the line for that game, and I I I didn't 271 00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:27.360 jump into the conversation, but I was, Wow. 272 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:25.440 Messi is only a top ten planet. Wow. 273 00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:30.600 Okay, So what I wanted to we may have to 274 00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:31.720 do this two separate. 275 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:33.799 Ways and talk about Michael Oliver. I think that's a 276 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:35.879 good place to start. I think that's the best way 277 00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:37.840 to start this discussion of this match. 278 00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:41.360 Sure, because there were a couple of moments where Michael 279 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:45.879 Oliver kind of perhaps mentally went walk about as a 280 00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:46.919 as a middle official. 281 00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:47.919 Uh. 282 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:50.720 And what I said to folks before you were coming 283 00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:52.720 in is that we might have to do this two ways. 284 00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:54.039 We might have to do this. 285 00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:59.879 With you with your rose colored arsenal glasses on, and 286 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:01.840 with you being as neutrals. 287 00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:04.759 I do think I'm neutral in this sense, right. 288 00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:08.240 I think Michael Oliver had a not very. 289 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:10.399 Good day at the office. I think that's fair to say. 290 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:17.320 I think he struggled to maintain for himself the lines 291 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:20.279 that he he himself drew. 292 00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:21.559 He actually drew lines. 293 00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:30.000 What wait a minute, right, and watching it back, you know, 294 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:35.639 listening to the commentary, they were and you can tell 295 00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:37.600 this is coming from you know, I think it was 296 00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:41.399 is it grammarly who was doing it? But coming from 297 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:45.440 a former professional player, it was frustrating for them to 298 00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:49.440 watch a referee not be able to keep consistency, but 299 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:54.080 not just consistency and like, oh, you know, not just 300 00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:56.240 calling fouls or not. Because I think he did an 301 00:16:56.279 --> 00:17:02.720 okay enough job of like trying to keep fouls at 302 00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:08.359 a level, right, he lets some physicality go. But the 303 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:14.240 problem is some of his decisions about how he managed 304 00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:18.000 the game, who he talked to, what yellow cards were 305 00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:21.359 and weren't given, were problematic. 306 00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:23.359 And again I think. 307 00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:27.400 Part of his issue was, just as Ropes puts out 308 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:29.759 in the comments, it was a little bit main character syndrome. 309 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:32.799 He felt he had to be the one to control 310 00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:35.599 the match and that is his job, but he didn't 311 00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:40.599 do a good enough job of controlling himself within the match, 312 00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:42.559 and that happens sometimes. I will be the first to 313 00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:45.039 say I had this issue on my third game. Now, 314 00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:47.599 granted I'm doing three games. Michael Oliver gets won and 315 00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:49.039 gets paid a hell of a lot more money. 316 00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:49.240 Than I do. 317 00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:51.839 But I had this issue with my third game on 318 00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:54.319 Sunday where I was tired. It was ninety seven thousand 319 00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:57.920 degrees and kids and parents are going around yapp in 320 00:17:57.960 --> 00:17:59.759 the whole time, and I'm just like, y'all need to stop. 321 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:01.640 So I gave a lot of yellow cards for dissent. 322 00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:02.640 It felt good. 323 00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:08.519 Parents yellow cards, bang wish. 324 00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:09.640 I gave the coach yellow card. 325 00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:11.160 He got mad that I called a penalty kick for 326 00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:15.720 his team. I'll talk about that later, but it was 327 00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:21.599 it was a problem with him not controlling himself. I 328 00:18:21.640 --> 00:18:23.599 think that was really what it was. He was unable 329 00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:25.440 to keep himself at an even cool thing. 330 00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:27.279 He didn't control himself. 331 00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:29.559 He was not an even temperament. 332 00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:33.200 He was not in a consistent frame of mind himself, 333 00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:35.240 And I think that is where we got into the trouble, where, 334 00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:38.440 you know, some things were conversations, some things were fouls, 335 00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:40.480 some things were yellow cards, some things were let go 336 00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:49.039 completely uh, And he seemed to the fouls themselves were okay, right. 337 00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:51.119 I think most people you can watch, oh okay, some 338 00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:53.319 fowls were let go some more, but like that's gonna 339 00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:54.039 happen on any match. 340 00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:57.000 It's the all the other stuff. 341 00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:01.480 You know, he's chatting up players in the box who 342 00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:03.200 are just happened to be standing next to each other, 343 00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:06.920 you know. But then on the goal that Arsenal scores 344 00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:08.920 to go up to one before the half, Kyle Walker 345 00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:10.839 sitting there slapping Gabrielle Martinelli. 346 00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:12.559 No, Gabrielle. 347 00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:17.319 Magas you know, before the match, before the kick happens, 348 00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:19.400 and Gabrielle gets one up on him as scores. But 349 00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:21.880 it's like, so, why aren't you discussing that, which is 350 00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:24.880 clearly a player trying to antagonize an opponent. But two 351 00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:26.559 players who hapen to just stand next to each other 352 00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:29.440 in the box is fine, Like those types of Okay, 353 00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:29.920 well which. 354 00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:31.720 One are you commenting on? Right? 355 00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:34.359 And it happened to all game where it was like, well, okay, 356 00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:39.519 you know, Thomas Party maybe got away with something. 357 00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:39.920 Now. 358 00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:41.920 Granted, Rodery, I don't know what he was doing in 359 00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:43.480 this game, because it seemed like he was just ready 360 00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:45.400 to fall to the ground anytime someone looked at him. 361 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:47.039 Weirdoll and then an incident at. 362 00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:49.559 The very beginning set the tone for Michael Oliver the 363 00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:51.680 whole match, but also set the tone for what City 364 00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:54.440 and Arsenal were trying to do. City was trying to 365 00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:56.880 play the victim and Arsenal was trying to play the aggressor. 366 00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:00.480 And you saw that throughout the entire match, and Oliver 367 00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:03.680 didn't really address either part side until he decided to 368 00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:06.319 just give yellow cards for I don't know what he 369 00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:10.200 was giving yellow cards for sometimes, you know, And we 370 00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:13.359 can talk about that particular incident of Troussard second yellow. 371 00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:14.440 Yes, that was. 372 00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:18.440 Also a great example of Oliver not holding any light. 373 00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:22.720 Yeah, he his his The only thing consistent was his inconsistency. 374 00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:25.960 I guess, uh you had there. There were a couple 375 00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:29.920 of moments that have stuck out with folks and uh 376 00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:34.000 and the I think the the larger element in all 377 00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:38.680 of this was Michael Oliver's lack of consistency. And you're 378 00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:42.160 wondering where the line is in any given moment. 379 00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:45.359 You know, it's like drawing a line in the sand 380 00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:46.359 during the sandstorm. 381 00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:48.759 Yeah, and that's kind of what it was like. 382 00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:52.599 Yeah, or being the turf apparently at h at the 383 00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:56.319 plow Lane with Wimbledon after a flood. 384 00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:57.279 Uh. 385 00:20:57.440 --> 00:20:59.559 It don't remind me as a remember the Dons trust God, 386 00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:01.680 that's gonna be expensive to fix, and apparently it might 387 00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:07.200 be a sinkhole. Okay, so a couple of moments. Let 388 00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:09.759 me then this is gonna be random. It probably won't 389 00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:10.720 be in time order. 390 00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:11.440 Okay. 391 00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:19.160 So Manchester United scores, City equalizes, it won Aerling. Holland 392 00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:24.359 decides he wants to pick up the soccer ball and uh, sorry. 393 00:21:24.200 --> 00:21:26.079 I think this was too two. Sorry in my bed. 394 00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:29.039 One of the equalizers where Holland picks up the ball 395 00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:31.759 throws it at Gabriel's. 396 00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:33.599 Head was the equalizer at the very end. Yeah, lately, Yeah, 397 00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:35.920 it's nothing by this. This this is not the first 398 00:21:35.960 --> 00:21:38.720 time Holland has done something not disagreeious, but he has 399 00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:43.119 a tendency to show boat after uh you know, I 400 00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:46.480 mean truly taunt opponents after goals. This is not the 401 00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:48.440
