ofan 237 Posted October 27, 2019 #121 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Sports are crazy sometimes. I feel for the Irish team and fans, a really tough way to lose. But, Canada off to Tokyo! This was our gold medal, as they'll almost surely be blown out of the water in the Olympics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldira 76 Posted October 27, 2019 #122 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Heartbreaking but at the end of they day we were three goals clear on aggregate and blew it. It’s as simple as that. No excuse for throwing away that large of a lead. It’s so typical of Ireland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearPup 2,335 Posted October 27, 2019 #123 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Feels a *little* in bad taste to play We Are the Champions given the circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,192 Posted October 27, 2019 #124 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Doing it frame-by-frame (or as close as one can manually get)... It looks like the Irish player put his stick down first, and then the Canadian player basically stepped over it... You can see that Canadian shoe (white strip) is on an angle and above the Irish stick. LDOG 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDOG 2,221 Posted October 27, 2019 #125 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Oof don't know what to say then, I don't have enough knowledge to know what should be called if that was what happened. Most rules in this sport are very against the defenders (basically they have to be extremely clean in every situation), but I don't know about this. As for Canada at the games... clearly their aspiration would be to beat the weakest teams (Japan/SA) and that's it. This was their gold medal. Wouldn't have been any different for Ireland, both teams have almost exactly the same level (I predicted 51/49 for Canada in fact). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto 4,527 Posted October 28, 2019 #126 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Wow, I just saw the replay, and Ireland were clearly robbed. I hope they appeal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diving your way into the Olympics is indeed quite something. France and Thierry Henry know all about this (replace Olympics with World Cup) If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
