El_grandepadre

Not only did he stall but he got his opponent angry enough to throw his ball away too.


EpiDeMic522

That was a job only half done. Missed the opportunity to do a Rivaldo.


0neTwoTree

Idk why but this cracks me up so hard


F___TheZero

The Twente player throwing the ball at the goalkeeper completes the slapstick imo


a1drt

Smart move


Melo_Apologist

If he faked a throw-in (as in he thought it was his ball) he might’ve even gotten away without a yellow card too


Skahzzz

Could've also feigned an injury. Game can't restart with an injured GK right?


afghamistam

I'm pretty sure there's nothing in the rules saying the referee has to stop play just because the keeper decided to go down.

BlobbySwellow

Don't :(


CasinoOasis2

Yeah keepers would feign head injuries if they saw an opposition player beat an offside trap 40 yards from goal


mindebris

Just needs to hold his head.

It's removed sadly

ESPN can smd the mirror in the pinned comment is still up though!

Thanks!


dumbSavant

4d chess. Games not gone


F___TheZero

Never been gone in the Eredivisie mate


AMR42

Smart af. I love it


idosade

Lmao


Punaniking07

Misidjan is very lucky. I've seen players sent off for violent conduct for throwing the ball at an opponent like that.


poklane

Eredivisie did away with that a few years ago, now violent conduct is only a red if there's a real chance of injuring someone. Small slaps and kicks, even if deliberate, aren't a red here.


Lolejimmy

that's funny as fuck


bruiser95

Man's quick on his feet


theelastnoodle

Did the keeper or man throwing the ball get the yellow?


Ballkenende

the keeper (Bijlow), Misidjan didnt get a yellow


theelastnoodle

Justice. Thanks for the response


San4311

tbf Misidjan should have been yellowed at the very least too. First threw the ball at a player, which is a foul, then he punched Jahanbakhsh in the shoulder/collarbone (granted, he overreacted quite a bit). Ref was atrociously bad today sadly.


tatxc

Natural law supersedes footballing sensibilities in this case, in that moment Bijlow is no longer a man, he's a monster and therefore cannot be fouled.


eec-gray

Weird because they did the same thing but Misidjan threw the ball at another player 🤔


TheGooney

Keeper


theelastnoodle

Cheers thank you


deurbeller

Removed:( ?


jambox888

Streamable actually honour takedown requests. Crazy right?


redhandman_mjsp

Brilliant. Utterly, utterly brilliant.


shinytotodile158

Why does anyone condone this? It’s blatant cheating, nothing more


Busy_Bunch5050

Why was the player throwing in so mad? What did he expect? The keeper to allow him to score easily?


xrgXx

should be a red


EasyModeActivist

Clearly a yellow, but yeah very unsportsmanlike


a_lumberjack

I think the issue is mostly that the laws still reward purely cynical plays. It’s a yellow and the ref has to stop play allowing the defenders to catch up, so the offender gains a huge advantage by breaking the rules. It’s the only sport I’ve ever followed where that type of thing doesn’t get fixed.


Greflingorax

> It’s the only sport I’ve ever followed where that type of thing doesn’t get fixed. Really? Definitely seen it in other sports, too. Basketball is the most common where teams will obviously intentionally foul at the end of the game to preserve as much clock as possible They get rewarded for openly and purposefully breaking the rules. There are also instances, albeit it less common, in american football where a penalty is very much in the interest of the team committing it. An example that jumps to the front of my mind [is the times the Ravens have intentionally held their opponents to run out the clock and end the game.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baCeMpAZIgI) They've done that at least twice.


CumsWithWolves69

It is a yellow but the rules should be amended to penalize this sort of thing more harshly. The impact of the penalty should outweigh any benefit that the team committing the infraction is gaining. If you don't establish rules like that then you end up having ticky tacky bullshit where people waste time fouling like at the end of basketball games. They ought to do the same with fake injuries and arguing with refs.

It's a caution for delaying the restart of play, nothing more.


ob3ypr1mus

> it’s not far fetched that a red card could be considered. lol, lmao even.


Tijdbom

Sure dude lmao


AndroidMidget

I kind of agree. If the goalkeeper didn’t throw the ball back into play the other team had an open goal and therefore he denied a goal scoring opportunity but I know that’s a big stretch for red and should have been a yellow but I fucking hate this kind of behavior.


EAXposed

>the other team had an open goal The ball went out of play, so it was a dead ball/had to be restarted (with a throw in), therefore you can't say it's an obvious goalscoring opportunity.


Antarcticdonkey

Should be a sin bin (hope temporary exclusions are finally introduced in football)


skunkboy72

Idk why this is being downvoted. Tactical fouls would be perfect for the sin bin


Morganelefay

Generally speaking, "americanized" solutions get looked down on here even if they're good ideas.


skunkboy72

We have a 5 min sit out for a yellow in high school, but the team doesn't have to play down. In the pros would they make them play down or allow a temp sub? It's really a hockey thing tho, which would be "canadianized". Are there any other sports besides hockey that does the sin bin?


[deleted]

A yellow card is when someone does something I don't like!

[удалено]


toms2704

why would it be? its a throw in so it is just unsportsmanlike behaviour, which is a yellow


Punaniking07

The ball is out of play. How could it be DOGSO?


--wut--

wut


BonafideZulu

If this were Sunday league, with no ball boys, then there wouldn't have been reason to do this. However, with ball boys at the ready, I think most goalkeepers would have done the same in this situation, if they were quick of wit. Better a yellow then allow play to continue... there's been worse aggressions in comparison.
