What an absolute stunner of a goal from Fucak! Honestly, it feels like Gorica is finally finding that magic touch—it's like they're staring down the barrel of a miracle just to stay alive in this league. 👍
Wait, was that Sahiti's goal? I swear, back during one of those rare appearances for the old national team—I think it was against Sweden—Drago Vabec buried one just like that (actually better, since he caught them right on the first volley). Back in the day, that specific goal used to be the main headline in the sports section of the big papers in the former America.
If Gorica doesn't walk away with at least a draw against Rijeka tomorrow, they’re officially bottom of the table—it’s basically over for them. Honestly though, this one should be a hell of a watch.
Adam Myers4 said:Under these latest VAR guidelines, that’s a perfectly legitimate goal!☕
Wait, so you're telling me Sudac was actually some kind of time traveler who just decided to let him through? — honestly, that’s a wild way to look at it, but hey, I guess in this crazy world, anything is possible. 😁 Yeah, that’s just straight-up delusional—honestly, it's on a whole different level. 👍
Nancy Sanchez31 said:No, his own mother basically chased him out of the club. We were actually the ones who stepped in to keep the place from going under. You’ve got these criminals from the outskirts running both the city and the club, so we stepped up to offer a lifeline. We're just doing what's best for the locals here. ☕
Man, Mamic is acting like he’s some kind of high-level mogul—he basically sent Kranjcara over to Hajduk just like a modern-day tycoon pulling strings behind the scenes. Honestly, the guy knows every single anthem from the Hajduk fans and even the ones from Zvezda by heart... it’s not for nothing, either. He’s always had this weird, intense fascination with the whole underworld vibe—you know, that whole criminal and outlaw lifestyle. It's pretty wild when you think about it. Stimac was on the podcast earlier—and man, he didn't hold back—basically saying, "Look, Dinamo sent us Kranjcara." He’s just laying it all out there, plain and simple.
ruggedowl13 said:The main thing is you're sitting there acting all high and mighty about how Strinić absolutely leveled that guy with his hand. Thanks for the "truth," really.
So, you basically assisted that goal with your hands—is that any better? Does that make the shot like 20% less unpredictable now?
Aaron Sanders3 said:Oh, they gave us Kranjčar! 🤣 🙏 Truly, thank you all so much... I really don't know what we would do without your overwhelming generosity and kindness...
Let me set the record straight... He actually gave Kranjcara to Mamic. Is that better for everyone? 😉
Aaron Sanders3 said:Just like how it's a constant fact that teams like Seattle always end up picking up decent talent from the big academies in DC...
Thanks again to Miško for everything, I suppose...
I don't remember anyone throwing a fit when we picked up Kranjcara, did you? And what about all that complaining regarding Deveric? Honestly, those two are worth way more than almost anyone else who left to join the squad down in the Atlantic coast area.
Oh, and we should probably mention Benković's goal in the 89th minute to make it 1-1—which was clearly offside, by the way...
Honestly, we might as well just close this thread about refereeing errors because we could go on forever just listing them all.
😁😁 You're seriously posting a video where the Blues get screwed over as "proof"?! 👍 I mean, look—in the 5th minute, that defender for the Sailors almost takes someone's head off with his foot just five yards from the goal. If that isn't a penalty, then it's at least an indirect free kick. Then the Sailors tie it up thanks to some phantom penalty, and the ref clings to a questionable offside call on the assistant for Benkovic—who, by the way, was NOT offside... 😁 Just keep proving my point for me. Seriously, I've never seen delusions quite like this. Over to you guys. It's just this endless delusion of grandeur, and this constant idea that everyone is out to rob you (and yeah, let's just ignore those videos where your own officials are basically bragging about rigging things... 😁 )
Adam Myers4 said:And don't even get me started on that legendary Calleva handball. Honestly, if it weren't for that specific camera angle, people would still be out there claiming the officiating was a fifty-fifty call.
For me, the absolute peak of insanity was that derby back in the fall of 2017 in Seattle. GNK was leading 2-1, and I am positive there was a penalty on Erceg that would have tied it up at 2-2. Then, on the very next play, an even more obvious penalty happens, and nothing! Absolutely nothing gets called!🙏
And then you have Beusan popping up on ESPN just to say, "Look, you can't really call two penalties in stoppage time." Unbelievable.🙏
😁 😁 Honestly, like I said before, there's just no winning here. It's pure collective delusion. You hit them with one single truth, and they immediately pivot to five or six different illusions to protect themselves. Who can even win an argument against that? 😁
wiredfalcon2 said:So, basically, you shouldn't go crying about how bad the officiating was if the ref actually screwed up in your favor, right? Instead, you’re supposed to just keep your mouth shut, play it smart like those guys over at the Yankees, and act like the calls were perfect? 🍿
Don't talk nonsense. Ray and his whole crew were absolutely tearing into the ref, completely ignoring the fact that he basically handed them the win by calling that handball goal. That’s what I call pure delusion—just a total break from reality that honestly hasn't changed one bit since then...
John Fowler2 said:I see people bringing up Vrsaljko's hand quite a bit. What year was that actually, and how long was it supposed to last?
Honestly, anyone bringing that up should probably take a second to remember that legendary handball goal scored at the stadium back in the day—man, I can't even recall which player from the home team pulled that one off right now. But hey, I guess people just forget stuff when they don't talk about it enough, right?
EDIT: Okay, found it...
We saw some pretty rough football in the first half, where two somewhat accidental goals ended up happening. Then in the second half, the home side came out with way more intensity, which eventually led to another goal when Strinić used his hand instead of his foot.
Man, I remember that game like it was yesterday... basically, Strinić absolutely SCORED a goal with his hand. The funniest part of the whole thing was watching the players complain about the officiating after the whistle blew—as if they hadn't just cheated!
Out of all these endless debates about penalties, the absolute worst one is people nitpicking the total number awarded. It’s just common sense, really. I don't mind getting into the weeds about officiating criteria, how much training referees actually get—which is clearly not enough—or debating whether a specific call should have been a penalty or not... but this constant mocking and trolling? It's just pointless. If we were actually having a serious discussion about legitimate versus incorrect calls (or missed ones), I honestly think if you looked at the data for all the big teams in MLS, everyone would end up with pretty much the same numbers. Maybe the guys over at Inter Miami would show up higher on the list since they deal with refs who are easily swayed by pressure—and let's be real, if anyone knows how to apply that kind of pressure, it's them and their massive fanbase. But even then, those stats wouldn't mean a thing in the long run. This whole conversation has just devolved into one big, obnoxious joke. Then again, I guess that’s what this forum is for anyway... why not? 😁
Man, honestly, those teams from the coast—like the guys from San Diego and maybe some squad out of Miami—they’re usually pretty tough competitors, right? But now look at the Miami side, they’re playing without their two absolute superstars, plus the whole roster is just totally gassed after that cup match... I was really hoping things would look a bit better than this up here.
Man, how much faster is Grgic actually than Grgic... 😲 For real though, the ball was definitely flying toward Grgic instead of Grgic—but again, I honestly had no clue if Grgic was just that slow or if Grgic is actually that lightning fast.
boldbadger1 said:It’s hard for Chido to mess up when Grgic is basically feeding him the ball on a silver platter—the guy is nowhere near being a legitimate option for the roster right now.
I get it. 😁 I'm just saying, what that reporter was blathering about on MaxSport... it makes zero sense to me.
Adam Myers4 said:Seriously, what kind of offside call was that on the goal just now?
I mean, seriously... they didn't even spend three seconds looking at the replay—it looked pretty clean, if not totally obvious, it was definitely tight. EDIT: Now they're saying Chido blew it...
So, looking at the upcoming schedule—Gorica is facing off against Dinamo, while Sibenik takes on Hajduk... man, it would be wild if both those games ended up being deciding matches for the relegation battle. I can't help but wonder if we're about to see some absolute chaos or maybe even some games getting postponed if things get too intense.
