<p>But like any law it's gonna have its grey areas. I should try and find Fyfe's 2014 bump on Google and have another look. His suspension was supposedly a travesty.</p>
<p>If a player ducks his head in a scrimmage he doesn't get awarded a "head high contact" free kick. Similarly, White suddenly lurched towards a charging Deledio and got his head over the ball very late in the peace. Fair suck of the sav.<br />

<p>** Deledio had White lined up for a textbook shoulder-to-shoulder bump, then about ⅓ a second before impact White suddenly turned left and headed towards Deledio.</p>
<p>** White's head wasn't technically "over the ball" until a couple of frames before impact. I don't agree with some comments I've heard over the last few days, that Deledio recklessly ironed out a bloke with his head over the ball.</p>
<p>Here is my video report.</p>

<p>The main drama was when AGB <i>first</i> began sh!tcanning my comments and I only noticed hours later, or even the next day. <img src="http://i44.tinypic.com/4zwal0.jpg"> Thought I was turning into a headcase.</p>
<p>Was reasonably chuffed with myself when I figured out it was Cricinfo and Wikipedia links that your spam nanny didn't like [my mad debugging skillz from a past computer programming life coming into play, there].</p>
<p>But lately, AGB has gone completely finicky on me. I can happily post 4 comments over the course of a few hours, then the 5th it spam bins. So I'll change my contact email to a random one and it starts accepting my comments again.</p>

It's one of the things that Germany and Australia have in common, and actually one of the reasons why I think we get along so well (and we do, I see it all the time). </p>
<p>Saying "are you feeling thirsty" or similar on the World Cup winners' podium is just pin-headery, though. It's the sort of thiing you might expect some pissed-up College boy to ask. He could just as easily have said "hope you're looking forward to tonight" or "bet you can't wait for the party", and it would have meant exactly the same thing, but instead we're given the image of a round-the-clock, two-fisted binging session. </p>
<p>We all bitch about the coverage, and this is just another example of what seems to be a total lack of editorial guidelines from Channel 9, both in commentary and beyond it. I'm genuinely curious what they say to them at the start of each season/tournament. It's like the Twelfth Man all over again, and Max Walker's "big appeal with the yobboes and dickheads".

<p>A whole bunch on 20-something males - PRIME P!SS DRINKING DEMOGRAPHIC - lined up and randomly bowing their heads to represent death on the battlefield.</p>
