Sevilla played with 2 players suspended !!

Because they were both straight reds, they were forced to serve the suspension during the Copa del Rey game midweek.

 

While this thread is still open - how comes Marcos Assuncao played against Barca. Wasn't he sent off last week too?

 

Not that I recall.

 

Sky Sports score centre (you know the pop-up that gives the line ups and latest cores?) has him as getting a yellow in the 89th min and a second yellow in the 95th min. Oh well, it doesn't matter. If you say it didn't happen that's good enough for me.

Mystery solved. Thread closed.

 

I must be a 1337 h4x0r sup4m0d because i can still post

 

Damn! Didn't work - maybe now -

.....thread closed.

 

Ask me in judge10ish and I'll close it.

I want to see a clearly defined subject-object-verb in there, not to mention you have to make it a question (I don't take commands in any language).

 

I dont think hijo de ******** is that big of a deal in Spain.

Laudrup might be able to confirm that. Or deny

 

Well, there are two issues here. One is that Luis Fabiano is not a native Spanish speaker and getting the real grasp of obscenities in any language (more so in Spanish, where there are so many degrees of swearwords) is hard for non-natives, so he might have gotten off the hook a bit for that.

The other is what exactly the assistant ref heard. *mumble* *mumble* pvta *mumble* can lead to a sending off but it might have been any of a number of obscene expressions, some of which may not even have been directed at the ref. Iirc Dario Silva a few years ago was sent off for saying "me cago en mi pvta madre" (lit. I sh1t on my wh0re mother) when he didn't trap a ball correctly and it went out for a throw in. The assistant ref thought he had heard "me cago en tu pvta madre" (lit. I sh1t on *your* wh0re mother) because he was appealing the throw in, which is why he was sent off. Sevilla appealed the red card and won, but the whole appeal process was a bit unsavory vis-a-vis clarifying exactly whose wh0re mother the player was sh1tting on. Since then appeals on foul language go something like "we give you the minimum suspension, you don't appeal it."

 

"de pvta madre" is definetly not a big deal in spain.. in fact, given the actual translation, i've found it used in the weirdest contexts, usually positive ones.. ranging from meaning "that's f***ing good" (for example about food) to "holy sh*t" (as in wow holy sh*t what a goal).

Hijo the pvta, that's a quite a bit more offensive and you would definetly not say that to someone that you didn't know as it is used in a negative context, but could be used in day to day talk like "f*ck!" (why the hell did i do that!) or "crap!" (fish for dinner again!)

This thread should be renamed:

How to swear in Spanish 101

 

The physical gestures are just as important as the words in judge10ish. Really, I think what would be best is if we all meet up for a tutorial at the end of the season. There's a fountain in Madrid that I think would be a good meeting point.

Beep (extend arms, tap right foot) beeeep
(literal translation: the thread, it ends?)

 

You're a fraud and a charlatan...there is no judge10ish....you've just got us talking roadrunner....
BEEP BEEP!

 

That is deeply offensive to our people.

 

Thats one of the reasons Spanish is such a rich language .

I mean in english, at least here in the US there are not many ways to swear or talk sh1t on someone that doenst involve the F word......

However in Spanish, ( im talking about "Mexican" spanish, but im pretty sure Spain's castellano is the same.) there are soooooooooooo many ways to swear, to cuzz, take words out of contexts, double meanings, etc its fun =).

 

Funny story: Javier Aguirre, Atleticos coach and Mexico's former NT coach, was a guest commentator for a Mexican channel for the world cup. It was Arg - Mexico.
When Maxi scored that volley in overtime that sent Mexico packing, you could clearly heard him on national tv.

"Hijo de su pvta madre....."

Ironically, Maxi would report to him since Aguirre took Atletico that summer. . I bet he made him run a few xtra laps

 

Take this to NSR if you have an academic interest in the issue, otherwise this thread has fulfilled its purpose and it is officilly over.
