If you go to NYRB Forum -> Moderators it says that @kokoplus10 is the assigned mod, but I'm not sure that person still exists. If not, maybe one of us should take it on?
Yeah, please turn to 6:27 in the video: and that for me is a PK...I have been a referee since 1984 and I am calling that.
Well... that could've easily been called in our favor. But I can also see why it wasn't. Both players had a hold of each other and seemed to slowly fall down together? The way fouls are/not called in the box these days, I'd say that's a debatable call honestly. But do I wish that in general fouls in the box were called more stringently, or just as stringently as fouls outside the box? You betcha.
Would need to see another angle, but if the attacker is no longer holding...that is a PK as I see the defender plowing through the back of the attacker. The AR probably has the best view.
Yeah baby!! Seriously I put in a request to @dark knight to see if they know what is the process to requesting to be a mod. Actually I think I remember that someone has to reach an existing mod first to get their feedback/approval. Not sure how that could happen for someone who's been MIA for 2+ years. Let's see what I hear back.
Aha, the mods forum. Shoulda figured that out myself! (assuming it's not mods-only) Anyway I'm already talking to @dark knight so let's see where that goes. If I or another of us becomes a mod for this forum then we can fix thread titles ourselves, or whatever comes up. Until this forum (or the whole of BigSoccer) shrivels up and dies.
Yes I am in fact willing to volunteer as mod for our cozy little corner of the Internet. But before actually doing that, I wanted to make sure... Is everyone cool with that?
I need to first see a video of your yellow and red card technique and the assocaited body language while ordering folks outta the forum.
was actually thinking of becoming a BigSoccer Supporter again, but I really can't remember how I even did it about 10-12 years ago.
Well that sucked, I get a little more annoyed every time I see a clip of the penalty no call... I can send you a typo ridden email with a link to where you can put your account information and government id...
only if that Prince in Uganda is willing to give me the $5mill US in return as he promised...as for the non-PK call, I would want to see another view as the attacker had a clutch and grab on the defender, but if he released the hold it sure looks like that the defender just plowed him over.
I always assumed that it dated way back to when there was an attempt to get people to pay for BS (pun intended). But AFAIK that never really took off, but while it lasted and some contributed (can't recall if I ever did) some people might've been rewarded with the vanity tag of "Big Soccer Supporter". Sound like that might've been your route?
Update: @dark knight sent me a brief moderator application form which I just filled out. Will keep you posted. If it works out fine, if not, no biggie.
yep and I still see the occasional person with that tag, and it also gave me the opportunity to change all of my prior posts going back to forever...lol
Likely the Supreme Council Of Mods. SCOM is concerned about his potential ability to abuse his power. They're hoping it's a yes. Oooooh! I kid, I kid.
@NorthBank having spent more than my fair share of time in the world of BigSoccer sin bin, not sure that you want me to speaking to the Mods in anyway shape or form...
