I was going off of @OrangeKhrush saying he didn't bet on any matches that he was involved...

The Rest Is Football is quite good. Different from most football podcasts as they don't necessarily focus on previewing/reviewing weekly matches. More of a general discussion about football past and present from the perspective of ex-footballers.

Sucks for Newcastle. Harsh ban in my opinion, there should be a direct link to match fixing if it's a lengthy ban like this in my opinion. Still stupid from Tonali though.

Ah, you're one of those. Defend Israel's psychotic behaviour that has been going on for a long time and call anyone criticising it "antisemitic".

That's the IDF's angle. Which makes it completely untrustworthy as they're an extremely unreliable source of info. Especially on their own war crimes.

Israel continuing their genocidal plan with devastating affect. Bombing hospitals and killing kids as usual. Wasn't treated as a big deal in previous occasions that Israel bombed Palestine and won't be treated as a big deal now. Israeli government and the Israeli military are without out 100x worse than Hamas but criticism in the mainstream media stays near silent. Just a shame that the Arab countries with power are too in bed with the US to actually exist as some sort of repellent for Israel who just do what they want with Palestine.

None of this is necessarily surprising. The Israeli government have had this type of mentality for a long, long time. Which is everything that Hamas needed to gain power in Palestine. Still crazy how people, even those that don't have to experience the conflict, can say killing innocent people for revenge isn't right but then say that wiping out everyone on the other side is not only okay but something that should be done. Hamas, the Israeli government, and these people have the same mindset.

Who would be the best choices for the Democrats and the Republicans? Biden & Trump can't be it. It was embarrassing in 2020 and it'll be even more embarrassing in 2024. They'll both be clowned the whole time and that'll be funny but a serious US president would be good.

You mentioning the Israeli military or Hamas? Hard to tell... The difference is that Israel has all the power and has been terrorising Palestine for decades. Hamas is born out of that. Israel are the main culprits here. You can focus on both but putting more blame at the feet of Hamas than Israel is where most are misrepresenting the issues. Especially the mainstream media. The US news media and US politicians specifically are embarrassing.

All this "Hamas are terrorists" talk doesn't really sway me when they're up against bigger terrorists in the Israeli Military. Don't care how they're "officially recognised". Focus should be on the bigger killers with all the power.

You say all of this when it comes to Israel having the right to slaughter but the same can be said the other way round. And it can be said much more justifiably as Israel has slaughtered and terrorised Palestinians extremely regularly. By your own logic, Palestinians have the right to wipe out Israel as their citizens continue to vote for blood thirsty politicians that results in Palestinians being oppressed. But you of course fail to understand that part because you think Palestinians being killed by Israel is normal so there shouldn't be a reaction from anyone. That's where the hypocrisy is when anyone says Israel now has the right to attack Palestine.

While the acts of during the rebellion are disgusting and while Hamas themselves are no angels, all of this is the fault of the Israeli government. They created this situation. You can call out the savage tactics while also looking at the bigger picture and knowing Israel are the bad guys. Expecting decades of violent oppression to just be accepted by the people being oppressed is ridiculous. No different to Nat Turner's slave rebellion. Barbaric but the fault of the slave owners.

He seems like a nice guy but he generally seems like an idiot as well. Even when it comes to Ukraine/Russia, saying every Russian athlete should be banned is a red flag.

I can't be mad at Palestinians being proud of finally laying a serious blow to Israel because of how long they've had to suffer because but at it is still mostly innocent people being killed. "Here's a taste of your own medicine" was always going to be brutal. Unfortunately this is a green light for Israel to scale up their operation of genocide. People shouldn't want any innocent people to be killed on either side but this is the Israeli government's fault. If I lock you in a room and regularly beat the shit out of you, then you find your way out of that room to do the same back, I can't claim to be the victim. I certainly can't beat you up again saying it's now self defence.

I was gonna say the same thing. I guess they're gonna have to clearly state if the goal is onside or offside in order to avoid confusion. Something they probably should've been doing already.

Yes. Because as I said, it's a lot less likely that they get offside decisions wrong. People seemingly have short memories. Main reason this incorrect offside call is a big deal is because it's not normal. And that's a good thing because before it was normal. Much rather have a terrible offside call 2 or 3 times a season rather than one every week. And those 2 or 3 times could easily be eliminated if the referees choose to do their jobs. Something made easy by VAR.

Hearing pundits and journalists say VAR should be gotten ridden of is doing my head in. Offside decisions being incorrect was a lot more common before VAR and the mistake in the Tottenham/Liverpool wouldn't have happened if the officials on that day were competent.
