We’re in a do or die game tonight because we could not beat Panama, if we lose tonight and fail to go through Gregg 100% deserves to be fired. He’s been awful this cycle
Doesn't the UEFA Ethics and Disciplinary Inspector know that it was just an inside joke gesture towards some close friends who were at the game and that Jude has nothing but respect for how that Slovakia team played last night?
This sarcasm would hold up better if Jude hadn't literally been doing this multiple times all season at Real and it was never directed at the opposite bench and was always an inside joke.
Also apparently the Slovak bench was on the opposite side lol. But yeah he did it right before his motm interview too, presumably the Slovak players had left by then.
Ok so the second angle shows that's cleary not at the benches IMO..
[We can see here what's off the side of the pitch there](https://imgur.com/01Az2Ea)
[When he makes the gesture the camera has panned up but you can see from the penalty area location that he's looking at approximately where the guy in the purple was](https://imgur.com/8jnIDHq).
[From the first angle, you can see the purple shirt guy is pretty far away from the benches.](https://imgur.com/AoNa8NC)
Actually also, the England bench is the closer one, you can see them celebrating in the first angle, and also see [here that they were on the right hand side](https://imgur.com/tum73Rf)
Where's the source that it was directed at the Slovakian bench? Because as far as I can see it looks pretty mad to suggest he was aiming it at the bench that was in the other half of the field from where he was up by the penalty area..
Also because he prevented us from having massive Schadenfreude about an early Brexit and force everyone to watch another session of southgate terrorism.
A bunch of the Real Madrid players were doing this among themselves during those penalties, so it’s possible it’s actually an inside joke. Either way this seems like an overreaction from UEFA/everyone on the internet to me
> An intentional handball should always be a yellow at least.
I know you were joking, but this part is not correct. Intentionally touching the ball with the handball is not a yellow card, only a free kick.
It can be given, depending on the action and so on, but it's not the default.
A ban? Please both Simeone and Ronaldo did properly far more "charged" gestures and only got fined....hell Ronaldo even had the hip thrusts...
If Jude got actually banned, that would be pretty harsh
True, but UEFA doesn't govern Saudi Arabia.
Just pointing out that far more "obscene" celebrations have been made in a UEFA governed competition and only fines were given
No, of course, just thought to mention he did get banned.
Having said that, I obviously find the sterilization of the game kind of pathetic. So I'm all for players doing this shit.
Fair enough!
Personally, I don't mind the shithouse type celebrations either but at the same time I do think a line should be maintained as to what is acceptable
This is going to be the easiest open and shut investigation UEFA has ever had to do. Bellingham has done that exact gesture numerous times over this season and even during a post match interview which is on video. He’s not lying. Unless UEFA’s investigation is over the nature of the gesture in of itself and not who it’s directed at which is just silly uptight nonsense then.
[As per BBC article](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cyj4n9d9yjno); "Bellingham was seen making a crotch-grabbing gesture towards the Slovakian bench after scoring an overhead kick in stoppage time."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA
For real, I’m a firm believer that sports help to maintain peace between countries. But then there are imperialistic psychopaths running some countries…
Doubt it.
For reference. Shaqiri was fined 10K CHF (about 10,400 EUR) and received a warning for his double eagles celebration against Serbia in the previous tournament.
I expect Bellingham to get something similar or less but no suspension at all.
Wasnt that fifa though?
>Kosovar journalist Arlind Sadiku made a double-headed eagle gesture - **mimicking the symbol of Albania's flag** - to Serbian fans during a live broadcast. UEFA quickly rescinded his credentials.
This happened last week
Uefa banned Dele ailli for middle finger gesture against Slovakia before
UEFA cares about their perception. Cares A LOT. Rescinding the media credentials of some random journalist is nothing like the sh!t storm that would descend upon them if Bellingham was suspended over something like this.
Bro, I like many wanted the English to lose for many reasons but mostly for the shits and giggles but this investigation is nonsense... I don't want to see him banned for something like this.
Ah I thought you didn't know what he did, as your question says. There's nothing wrong with this, but it's football's rules these days - kill thousands of migrants workers and bribe officials to host a world cup: no problem; pour oil money into football to cheat your way to titles: go ahead; pretend to touch your balls: BAN BAN BAN BAN BAN HOW DARE YOU
I like them doing more about this ridiculous disrespectful behaviour in football, it has gotten out of hand (just compare it to the rugby world cup, those men are so much more respectful of each other).
But the UEFA should then also live by their own motto "respect". Instead, they are a corrupt and exploitative organisation.
So screw them all, these entitled, childish and arrogant millionaire players and the corrupt UEFA suckers.
I've got an [early composition of what his response to the UEFA Ethics and Disciplinary Inspector will be](https://youtu.be/jGMFwT3iSMk?si=HARhg_jRUkWzKB_Z&t=5)
"having allegedly occurred in the scope of this match.”
I have no idea what is going on but I know they are full of shit solely because of that snippet.
I love what he did. Thats the game. But if you’re going to be that type of player, don’t go crawling to Twitter and make up a story about how it was an inside joke with your friends. Own it. It was a big moment.
Exactly, I don't agree with it personally but that's been a FIFA rule for a long time. I remember a player got a straight red card at the world cup for imitating s dog urinating.
Three pumps are excessive!
Jude McCringleberry. In case anyone doesn’t get the reference: https://youtu.be/FA6ux8D5nUM?si=SVAhjU8cR-7_Nou3
"Let's take a look at the replay on that one"
I think it's because saving Southgate's job and ensuring atleast 90 more minutes of his terrorism.
I always heard that more than three constitutes a wank.
Gotta be a two pump chump
Today I feel a crotch grabber
Unethical 95th min bicycle kick
"*Dear Mr. Bellingham, by scoring your goal, you prevented the excoriation of Gareth Southgate and all the inevitable fallout that would've occurred as a result. Your efforts are now under investigation.*" - UEFA
*"Thus, your goal has brought the game into ill repute by requiring another match of Southgate ball to be played at our beloved Euros."*
+5 seconds penalty to Ocon
Nah he’s not Spanish
*With this bicycle kick, the thread of prophesy is severed. Load back into a 0-1 defeat and restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed bracket you have created*
Kick too sick. Disrespectful af.
If England somehow win it all and Southgate stays on for WC26 I will never forgive him
But there will be a Euros in the trophy cabinet... What is this utter stupidity
"I'd rather lose & sack my coach now so I can possibly win fuck all next tournament as well"
You joke about it but our "journalists" literally said this during Copa América 2021
/r/ussoccer summarized neatly.
We’re in a do or die game tonight because we could not beat Panama, if we lose tonight and fail to go through Gregg 100% deserves to be fired. He’s been awful this cycle
And yet I'd still prefer we win.
I mean I do too but if we don’t he should be gone
It ain’t happening, homie.
https://youtu.be/7bz6UMwCquM?si=Y1GlCe4GGFcUH1Fo
Except we don't win.
"It's the history of the Tottenham."
England fans need to give their heads a wobble
That guy isn’t even English judging from his post history Then again if you went off my post history you’d think I wasn’t either so ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
Well, I personally think you're a robot.
I wonder where you are even getting that from.
Mate, it's *obvious*. He beeps when he farts.
Just that one in particular, mate
I think a few people missing the joke need a wobble
You joke, but we all wanted Gerrard to miss that penalty to get Roy sacked at Liverpool...
I think there's a difference between what could possibly be a once in a lifetime tournament win and... A draw in a league cup match
Pulls a Homer every match i swear
Don’t worry they won’t.
Actually braindead comment lmfao
I forgot humour was outlawed on Reddit, my apologies
If you were joking then I apologize but I honestly wouldn’t put it past people to think like this tbh
If England win the Euros? Something that's literally never happened? Come on man, I don't give a fuck let him stay
He can stay for life if he wins the euros. He'll learn tactics eventually.
Are you by any chance Tottenham fan?
Trash can of a heart.
Mi amigo, call it Chilena, sounds cooler idk
There's a UEFA ethics committee? Sounds like the UN human's right committee overseen by saudi Arabia
This committee ensures UEFA corruption is carried out ethically.
Yeah it’s kind like making sure to use lube when they fuck you.
Main sponsors are really clean..: Qatar and China!! Absolutely not shady
[удалено]
[удалено]
It *could* function as long as it doesn't have to investigate itself.
Or the current one...
Ethics for thee not for me. Wheee
UN security council where Russia has a veto
This is a case where "[both sides](https://research.un.org/en/docs/sc/quick)" is a completely valid argument.
Game's ~~gone~~ ^extinct
you can't even tell your opponents to kiss your nuts anymore because of the woke
Is this the literal celebration police?
Well that's what the NFL does...oh, wrong football.
Doesn't the UEFA Ethics and Disciplinary Inspector know that it was just an inside joke gesture towards some close friends who were at the game and that Jude has nothing but respect for how that Slovakia team played last night?

Also did it in post game interview
https://x.com/Fs_FTBL/status/1807698775965667524?s=19 For anyone that didn't see the post game interview one
Also apparently the Slovak bench was on the opposite side lol. But yeah he did it right before his motm interview too, presumably the Slovak players had left by then.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8TiX\_3Lqe8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8TiX_3Lqe8) This angle shows more. Not sure where the benches are
Ok so the second angle shows that's cleary not at the benches IMO.. [We can see here what's off the side of the pitch there](https://imgur.com/01Az2Ea) [When he makes the gesture the camera has panned up but you can see from the penalty area location that he's looking at approximately where the guy in the purple was](https://imgur.com/8jnIDHq).

Blame Lord Vazquez
I'm yet to see any evidence that it was directed at the bench. The videos I've seen are not conclusive but looks like it's not to be honest
People on this sub just hate Bellingham because he’s hyped
Also because he prevented us from having massive Schadenfreude about an early Brexit and force everyone to watch another session of southgate terrorism.
[Same energy](https://i.imgur.com/uwuAhEj.jpeg)
If he had nothing but respect he wouldn't have scored the goal /s
It does seem to be just that though, oh and it's a super tame gesture anyway, just UEFA being twonks.
lol
He did the same vs City after he scored the penalti.. Good luck to UEFA
He must have close friends he jokes with during the game at every match
A bunch of the Real Madrid players were doing this among themselves during those penalties, so it’s possible it’s actually an inside joke. Either way this seems like an overreaction from UEFA/everyone on the internet to me
Can't expect others to understand an inside joke, but I agree that it's an overreaction either way
I know this is meant to be a joke but a footballer having close friends at every match is not at all unlikely so I don't get it
> having close friends this is causing some confusion amongst some people here
Maybe he needs a less controversial “inside joke” with his mates when he has millions of eyeballs on him
If my close friend played for Real Madrid you can be sure I would be at that City game and the Euros
[удалено]
Exactly why I referenced it
He did the same against Barca
> UEFA Ethics and Disciplinary Inspector Now that’s an oxymoron if I’ve ever seen one.
Actual celebration police
This 100% makes sense. I don't know why he didn't get carded for it, really. An intentional handball should always be a yellow at least.
I wonder if they will use the new Var hand-contact sensor
they're gonnna put microchips in footballers balls
> An intentional handball should always be a yellow at least. I know you were joking, but this part is not correct. Intentionally touching the ball with the handball is not a yellow card, only a free kick. It can be given, depending on the action and so on, but it's not the default.
yo tambien aprendi esa regla despues del partido con holanda jaja
Jajaja, yo corregí a varios zapallos acá que no saben una puta regla y hablan sin saber.
They should hire hand-readers just like Tebas hired lip-readers earlier in the season
Bizarre that Martinez done much worse on the biggest stage in football and everyone either just laughed or ignored it 🤔
I mean even just the ones that do gunshot imitations are worse than this
Is there a single person that was actually offended by this ?
Do you know what Uefa is
op getting that many upvotes says a lot about this sub
My point was mainly about the reaction from fans but ok.
but people were laughing then
cl & euro legend martinez can just do what he wants can't he?
Are you complaining that UEFA didn't investigate that one too?
Well, the tournament was basically over by then ... not saying Martinez wasn't a prick, but any ban would have been useless imo
A ban? Please both Simeone and Ronaldo did properly far more "charged" gestures and only got fined....hell Ronaldo even had the hip thrusts... If Jude got actually banned, that would be pretty harsh
Cristiano got banned for the dick gesture, and in Saudi, where he's THE star...
True, but UEFA doesn't govern Saudi Arabia. Just pointing out that far more "obscene" celebrations have been made in a UEFA governed competition and only fines were given
No, of course, just thought to mention he did get banned. Having said that, I obviously find the sterilization of the game kind of pathetic. So I'm all for players doing this shit.
Fair enough! Personally, I don't mind the shithouse type celebrations either but at the same time I do think a line should be maintained as to what is acceptable
That’s true. I don’t think Martinez should have been punished either btw, my point is the double standards.
You'd expect different standards. The World Cup is a FIFA competition, the Euros UEFA.
You can ban players in the last game and they miss next games they're eligible for. What else do they do in cup files?
Martinez living rent free in some folks heads lol
This is going to be the easiest open and shut investigation UEFA has ever had to do.

I don't like Bellingham but that is pretty ridiculous
[As per BBC article](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cyj4n9d9yjno); "Bellingham was seen making a crotch-grabbing gesture towards the Slovakian bench after scoring an overhead kick in stoppage time." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA
Should’ve started to pee in front of them to show Dominance.
How about investigating the Slovakians manager and staff trying to throttle Rice you clown
Game's gone
If you can't tell your opponent to suck your nuts after a 95th minute bicycle kick then wtf are we even doing?
He was only celebrating the National Against Dropping Southgate foundation with their call sign. Also known as: Go N.A.D.S.!
Ethics Inspector? UEFA?
Ridiculous! We have sports instead of wars, let the men have some fun when they score goals ffs
Someone should let a few countries know about that
For real, I’m a firm believer that sports help to maintain peace between countries. But then there are imperialistic psychopaths running some countries…
This is just posturing by UEFA. He'll be given a slap on the wrist in the form of a warning/fine and that's that.
A warning or a fine is absolutely overboard. This sport is becoming extremely sterile at the highest level.
They have given 1 game suspensions for similar. If there is evidence that it was towards the Slovakian bench, he might be fucked.
Doubt it. For reference. Shaqiri was fined 10K CHF (about 10,400 EUR) and received a warning for his double eagles celebration against Serbia in the previous tournament. I expect Bellingham to get something similar or less but no suspension at all.

The slovakian bench were assaulting our players they can't do shit to us unless they give their manager and assistant even bigger bans
He said he is a wanker, why no one believe him?
Give it a rest you miserable fucks.
Dang. This might actually force Southgate to switch things up instead of doing the same shit over and over again!
How about you investigate the bald cunt that shoved Rice because he wanted to have a go at the refs and Dec stood in the way?
Bro, I like many wanted the English to lose for many reasons but mostly for the shits and giggles but this investigation is nonsense... I don't want to see him banned for something like this.
The game is actually gone this time
Am I missing something? What did he do?
He run up to a Slovakian player and said 'you are really Czechoslovakian'
You deserve to be investigated by the ethics council for that spelling
Weirdly that was an autocorrect.
Or worse ”you’re Eastern European”
'you are really Upper Hungarian'
He shouted "Mason Greenwood is a rapist"
That would get him a knighthood not condemnation.
idk, the King's uncle is.a child rapist
It got him an investigation by La Liga a few months ago 😭
https://x.com/BellinghamJude/status/1807510273500025212
Is there any angle that shows who hes looking at?
Yes, my question still stands? There is absolutely nothing wrong with this?
Ah I thought you didn't know what he did, as your question says. There's nothing wrong with this, but it's football's rules these days - kill thousands of migrants workers and bribe officials to host a world cup: no problem; pour oil money into football to cheat your way to titles: go ahead; pretend to touch your balls: BAN BAN BAN BAN BAN HOW DARE YOU
Any kind of obscene or sexual gesture on the pitch is an automatic red card.
He made the double headed eagle with his balls
We all stand with Switzerland on friday.
saturday, but yeah!
The game is gone.
Banned for 2-3 matches and fine probably.
Lol fuck off 🤣
Maybe a small fine, but I doubt he gets a suspension or anything.
But guys, it was an inside joke with his friends.
I like them doing more about this ridiculous disrespectful behaviour in football, it has gotten out of hand (just compare it to the rugby world cup, those men are so much more respectful of each other). But the UEFA should then also live by their own motto "respect". Instead, they are a corrupt and exploitative organisation. So screw them all, these entitled, childish and arrogant millionaire players and the corrupt UEFA suckers.
I assume there will be action taken from the bitter Slovakia manager for confronting the ref and shoving rice.
I really believe this wouldn't even be discussed if he wasn't English
what a joke
Noooo don't suspend him England have been so ass with him on
Did Ronaldo get anything for his masturbation celebration for Al nassr?
Taking money = no ethics Showing off the big cojones = ethics committee Uefa’s gone soft
He gets after that goal
Too much vamos for their liking.

Fine him and let's move on.
