Hey Slice and Leo, Look what happened Bros, I'm on TV in that video..

Waldo is in that video somewhere too!

What the fuck? Jim Stevens has the power of instant replay official!!

Fuck that!!

Walter< old baseball fan that hates fucking instant replay!

I was kinda thinking the same thing, but really sweater, if you think about it logically, Jim is the one with the footage that goes frame to frame, plus there were no official on the match, and it was a standard call out that happens in a lot of matches in general called by players.

So of course it just makes sense in a over all ruling in this case that Jim was the best final decision.. plus I was there watching the match, and Kane did not have any chance of reaching the ball, the raddle was during the gray zone

So it was the right call!

Nope, kane got white trashed, i will give you liars a week to figure it out.

Jedi, stop lying, it is your fault that you have been lying the whole time.

I looked at that video a few times. Robbie may have rattled the table while trying to grab the loose ball as it was heading from the neutral zone to Kane’s zone. Once Kane got a slight toe grab on it any motion from Robbie’s 5-bar clearly stopped. Kane tried to move the ball with the little bit of toe that he had on it but it wasn’t enough to move it backwards only forwards. That was not caused by any jarring. I don’t know how anybody can call it differently after looking at the video carefully. Both players were in agreement after they did a video review and got Jim’s opinion so what’s the issue?

Is Jim a certified reff?

And about any coin toss to settle a call is really not a great option call for a final decision, I've been there using a toss, and it sucks, mainly when I know I was jarred or whatever, same for the other side player. I mean after all, I'm not a perfect player, I make mistakes too during play, and sometimes I don't notice or see what I do sometimes, as I black out in focus on the ball.

Logically reasoning is the best option on play calls.

I'm just wondering why no reff was on duty before the match started anyway...

Notice the near 50/50 in managers challenges? That’s what I meant with a coin toss having near the same results. Baseball spent millions when a coin would have produced near the same results. Video replay we all know won’t happen in Foosball, but if it did you can’t be destroying the pace of the game on every judgement call of the players. Even if Stevens is a certified ref, why should the game he is streaming get to use video while the other 20-whatever tables doesn’t? Either all or none is the only fair solution.

On the 28.6% of umps calls reversed is where the politics come in. The replay ump at
NY Headquarters isn’t going to sell out his fellow umps too often making them look bad. Umps are human just like managers so that percentage should be a lot closer to 50/50.

Quite a few years back I ran a thread at Foosballboard titled “Do you cheat?” based on most players feel they’ve been cheated but their opponents don’t feel they cheated. LoL, really pissed most the players off but had to make some think about it. There has to be cheaters to be cheated. Some argued that breaking the rules wasn’t cheating which IMO is BullShit! Even if you accidentally break a rule, it is cheating. That is why there is rules! This is why EVERYONE cheats in every game that has rules. There is no avoiding it.

I like games that have no officials, like head games etc!





Just me kidding......

Hey, you can spell Jedi in the three words above!

That was my post slice, and when I can log off this site, then I'll relog in as The Jedi.

I'm just having troubles logging out!

And you can't double stamp a single stamp!

And the difference between an old stamp and a new stamp is, one you lick and the other one you peel......
