PRE-MATCH DISCUSSION | Iran vs. Iraq - Asian Cup 2015

[ashkon]

Pooladi obviously dived. That push wasn't of hard at all. Stupid of him considering he already had a yellow. Maybe a tad harsh by the ref but no way you can just say that the ref was clearly "bought".

[Bi-honar]

Whats next, Gucci gets taken down on a breakaway and the Iraqi defense gets a yellow?

I'm guessing in that situation Gucci would get a red!!!

The rage is strong

I have nothing but the worst wishes and insults for this referee.
But i find pooladi very disappointed since the beginning of the competition.

Time to bring jb for Shojaei to close our left wing

PRE-MATCH DISCUSSION | Iran vs. Iraq - Asian Cup 2015

my stream froze, i didn't see what happened. I'm waiting for a reply.
All i saw was him rolling around on the ground then getting a yellow

Keeper lightly pushed him, Pooladi made a meal of it. Ref told him to get up a couple times, I'm assuming the yellow was for not getting up. That's what I understood of it.

[ehsan singapore]

that was no yellow but why must pooladi do that?for what?

[parisian homie]

I think motherfucking Ben Williams gave a red straight to Pooladi more because he was still laying down after Williams asking him to stand up.
Ben Williams is a shit but I really blame Pooladi, he knew he already had a yellow card why did he not stand the fuck up

[alaph]

dude.. fuck that. He deserved a yellow and the red! Act like a man pooladi! FFS . Aberoomono bordi!

There! i said it!

[jumba47]

Man If Iran lose I will be sad for weeks to come

[Frank Ocean]

Idiot Iraqi clapping his hands when Pooladi got send off - usually THAT'S WHEN YOU GET A YELLOW CARD!

[Z Joon]

We will beat them with 10 men as well guys, IMO we should take Shojaei off and bring in Amiri to play left back

[diz]

what a shame...If anything the Iraqi GK deserves a yellow for pushing. This guy is VERY card-happy.

[saeed_noro]

who is also booked from before matches

Hajsafi
Shojaei
Nekounam(?)
4th???

Pooladi is back in semifinal because of the red card??

[BacheLot]

So what do you experts say will happen? Is Pouladi missing on 1 match (if we make it, just the ONE game against Korea?)

Neither fouls were card worthy and I'm sure CQ will lodge a complaint to at least remove the 2nd yellow and wipe the red card situation ..!!? but with arabs running AFC, i doubt anything will get done

this fking ref is corrupt pos, he shoulda never been trusted to ref at this level

[Taz]

This is the biggest footballing scandal I can recall given the stage it is and I'm not even sure that's my bias talking. What the sweet fuck was that decision? I still can't work it out.
