Well I guess that the refs are starting to agree with me. Cause Kadri got a unsportsman penalty for embellishment.

You are literally the first person to blame losses on the refs making bad calls, but, now, suddenly, they're the ultimate authority?

No I don't blame losses on the refs. On occasion they will make a bad call. All I stated in early posts is I don't like Kadri flopping around like a European soccer player who just got shot to draw penalties. And if he is going to hit a teams star players like he did, he better expect retribution. Also because he fall downs so easily to draw penalties the Refs are going to start to look they other way even if it is a penalty.

First: all soccer players of any nationality will do that, so we don't need to single any continents out. It's caused by a one-ref system where the benefits of diving greatly outweigh the cons.

I hear what you're saying about the refs on the lookout for Kadri embellishing. We were just outlining to you that this is not one of those cases. Also, clean hits should never result in retaliation; it's tantamount to someone getting slashed and punched repeatedly for a stickcheck, or any other forced turnover. Such retaliation should be met with the refs doing their jobs.

With respect to Kadri, he was expecting retaliation; he just happened to be attacked from behind first. Like I said before, you're welcome to your view; please consider yourself in his skates first.

Yeah, allowing guys to go after players for a clean hit is obscene. If they are going to continue to allow that they have to remove the instigator penalty and let the teams decide these things themselves.

The refs simply are not calling the game as it presently exists in the rulebook.

Because Kadri has been abusing it all seasons with is diving and flopping
