Twitter: Ref Tony Corrente on the OPI on Michael Gallup

[MarcusRock]

Pointing out your clowning isn't "asking for support". Who was President the last time someone hit Like on your Referee lickspittle?

Wait, so "Likes" are the currency by which you judge? Is that what you need to feel legitimate? LOL. Wow. Just like I said. Inferiority complex. At least your like count is doing the job life evidently isn't doing for you. I guess your self-worth hinges on your Twitter follower count too, huh? I knew something was amiss with you but way to make it plain with that statement. Sheesh.

goodells minions.

 

[TheHerd]

Poorly called game. But that call on Gallup is not why the Cowboys lost.

Ain't that the truth

No, they are the quantitative proof that everyone thinks your "Refs Wuz Right" posts are a joke.

collinsworth and his sidekick said it was bad call. i thought gallup was trying to free up his arm which was cleverly being held by ramsey. imo, no penalty. ramsey gets an academy award for his performance. leaning back as if he's being pushed sold it. ref gets a dunce cap. and gallup is robbed of a great catch.

It really was! Ramsey was holding his arm. If anything, that was DPI or defencive holding.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Really he didn't hesitate whatsoever? Watch the ref in the gif..does anyone see him pull the flag?

Nope! He threw it as soon as Gallup secured the catch. If it was incomplete, there'd probably be no flag.

 

[Point-of-the-Star]

Did not read the whole thread but did anyone note that Corrente was a Los Angeles native?

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Now you're just lying. You only see Ramsey's hand move over to touch Gallup after Gallup has had his hand on Ramsey's torso for the entire start and beginning of this clip.

I'll argue for DPI or holding on Ramsey. If you look closely, Ramsey is holding the arm of Gallup. That's holding. Yes, Gallup extends the back of his hand, but that's because his arm is being held. That's why the issue with the call is there. And btw, unless you're Tyron Smith, you can't push someone as far as Gallup is alleged to have done to Ramsey with the flop. Furthermore, it's not a full arm extension from Gallup which further negates the call OPI.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Yes, that is a far more egregious potential OPI!! I think we should invite Cristiano Ronaldo to come over and teach our players how to dive.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Exactly right. Both athletes had an equal chance at the ball. The athlete who engaged in hand play ultimately lost the athletic matchup of both foot speed AND hand play. Result is play on.

conversely you would never expect to get that call if you’re gallup if you never hand checked back either.

Exactly! Should've been play on. Especially as Ramsey was holding Gallup's arm a lot of the way.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Ramsey actually had NO chance at the ball because his head was turned the wrong way.

Another reason the decision should've been play on. Ramsey never looked for the ball. Gallup was.

 

[MarcusRock]

So inconvenient truths need to be popular for them to be justified in your eyes? You're a bigger dolt than I thought. How hilarious that a CONSPIRACY! peddler needs popular, herd buy-in for something to be seen as legitimate. Too late, but you already said a whole lot with your last statement on Likes. And people wonder why we have such an insecure populace. As I said before, I'm glad your little CZ Likes have been a good stand-in for other things neglected in life. Certainly helps explain why you continue to follow me around for all those self-worth bruises inflicted. I may have even received a few Likes for doing it. The horror! Lol. I've always suspected your inferiority complex but you've really outed yourself today, dude. I actually feel a little bad. A little.

The same thing I said to that other poster is if Gallup's arm was pinned or held, how is he so easily able to push-off on Ramsey to put his hand in front of him? If it was being held, he'd have to struggle to do so. Gallup kept his hand in one place almost the entire time to slow down Ramsey and when he couldn't to his liking he pushed back on him fully extending his arm. People keep glossing over that and keep trying to change the subject to what Ramsey was doing. Gallup had a back hand in his chest, Ramsey had a back hand on Gallup's shoulder in response. All of that is allowed which is why no flag was called with 3 officials watching. What's not allowed is extending your arm to push off. You see the push in the video, you see the extension in the picture. Put them together and that's why it was flagged. Debatable if that was "enough" of a push but the textbook components of the foul were there.

Actually I'm playing your game of waiting till you quit so I can post later that you "slunk away".

In two pages of this thread you have gone from asking why I won't argue with you:

You hide behind others who oppose my views but don't dare debate me directly because you don't have the mental chops


To wondering why I would argue with you:

Certainly helps explain why you continue to follow me around

We're still not debating anything by your design. You're the one who entered the thread talking about my schtick to someone else, didn't you? Hanging off to the side like some gossiping teeny bopper, lol. If you're going to mention me, just dive right in and confront me directly. But that hasn't proven successful for you in the past either so you resort to collecting Likes to feel better about what you contributed. Lol.

 

[CowboysRule]

Gallup was able to extend his arm because Ramsey, seeing he was beat, started his flop. And yes, Ramsey was trying to pin Gallup's arm.

I don't think it's a horrific call as some claim. I can understand why it was called - it's soft but with the way they call it these days I have to agree with you. It was similar to George Kittle's push off in the Superbowl although that one was more pronounced. It's the final push that did it. There isn't much and sometimes you get away with it but not on this occasion sadly. The non call for Smith hitting Goff for the interception was far worse because it was clearly incorrect and irrefutable. It also resulted in a big turnover and change of field position. Had we won then the Rams would rightly have felt sickened as that call completely changed the game.

 

[CWR]

We would have won no doubt just like we would have won in 2014 when dez caught it. It's weird how people don't recognize momentum in sports

I had no faith in our defense to hold Arod in 2014. I still think we end up giving up a game winning drive to GB, but it pisses me off we were robbed of the opportunity to see.

 

[Typhus]

or was it a good play by Ramsey to sell it. he leaned back as if he was pushed

Indeed, we would all be raving in celebration if Ramsey was a Cowboy.

The key is to hurt his feelings so bad he cries to the mods that you’re being mean. It’s fun for all.
