Trivial question :
Game of thrones main cast from season 1-7...

Was anyone left out? If yes, Who?

According to the laws of the game, if the attacking player receives the ball when he is closer to the goal than the 2nd to last opponent, the attacking player is in an offside position.

Yes, a Cameroonian defender was level with Ighalo, but Ighalo was ahead of every other Cameroonian player (including the goal keeper) when he received the pass. Goalkeepers, on very rare occasions, could inadvertently set offside traps. The Assistant referee, yesterday, did us a big favor.

You can watch the 2010 WC game between South Africa and Mexico to see how a South African 'goal' was ruled out for offside.


go and watch the highlight again... Ighalo was at per with the Gk and a cameroonian defender was ahead of him

(when two opponent are ahead of you, before a ball comes to you... you are onside)


the South Africa vs mexico case only ONE player was ahead of the striker before the ball came to him.

Just thinking.....

Assuming our first goal against Cameroon, yesterday, was rightly disallowed because Ighalo was offside, and Cameroon hung on to a 1-0 win; we would really be sweating profusely. Now that offside goal is looking more precious by the minute.

Ighalo wasn't offside. .. a caneroonian defender was in the goal line making Him onside...

With this result all we need do is to win or draw Zambia (and we will be in Russia) ... Which is highly likely with a fit squad come October.

Lol. Sorry if this was treated earlier, I was last here when Season 6 ended last year. cheesy



They can't swim doesn't mean they can drown (heck!! they are already dead).


They could be a lot of what if... the night king can even sacrifice thousands of wights to get that dragon up.

I really think there's something we're missing when it comes to the death of Little Finger.

Firstly the author gave us the impression of Little Finger being smart, a con, selfish and evil. But that does not mean he's the smart or wisest or the best in his game. And not one person would be able to defeat him.

Talking about Sansa and Arya, they were all witnesses to the death of their father and almost everyone who played a role in it. Sansa knew so much but she was a kid, still entrapped in her fairly wishes. Arya was busy developing her skills to be a warrior. They knew LF was very smart and no matter how smart you are, you'll always have a weak spot. The weak spot of LF was Sansa.

So his death was epic to me. A master caught in his own game. Arya could have fought him and killed him within seconds. He could have been poisoned. But they had to bring the accusations against him so he'll know he has been beaten.


One thing people are forgetting is that Bran played more role in Little finger's death than arya and sansa put together. ... remember he (bran) was the one that gave arya the dagger that was used to kill him( LF) to arya....

Bran sees everything (past and present)


Chaos is indeed a ladder

TheKingIsHere:
Okay, so having watched episode 7 several times, i noticed some few loop holes that needs to be registered . Unlike episode 6, this episode have few loop holes. And before some people come here to remind us that it is a fantasy tv show, yes it is but it doesn't mean we shouldn't ask logical questions when we notice some absurdities.

Also note that GOT is one of the best if not the best TV series ATM. So here we go

1. The miraculous appearance of the Unsullied soldiers: angry

We all thought these guys were dead in episode 2 and nothing was said about them again but all of a sudden they re-appear all hail and hearty for another battle. How come? What happened to them all these while? Didnt they starve to death at Casterly Rock? How on earth did they get back on time to kings landing?I believe this is something they should have showed us on camera. This is a major loop hole in this episode and making it the entrance of the episode is really provocative to logical minds.

2. The hound carries a fire lit lamp:

Erm, i thought the hound was afraid of any thing fire so how come he could carry a lamp of fire without the fear of being burnt? The dude has been literally avoided anything fire but today is the first time i am seeing him carrying fire. I might be wrong though. undecided

3. The mountain's eyes were looking all blurred so he shouldn't be able to see properly. From the close up view we saw the mountain have these red cataract eyes, so on a normal day he shouldn't be able to see properly, but here he is seeing perfectly. He knows when to move, who to attack and so on. I am really surprised that he can see properly.

4. Rheagar looking like viserys in a wig:

So many rheagar fans were expecting to see a handsome, gorgeous looking dude with sexy abs like CRonaldo's own but they end up with a guy that looks like viserys ( dany's dead brother) in a wig. How terrible is that? undecided

5. The all seeing bran goofs big time: With the way bran has been forming to be all seeing and sees everything, one would expect bran to give detailed information about a past event. However, like yonce pointed out , bran claims to see everything rather in a terrible way. In his words "I see the past. I even see what's happening right now"

But he didn't see Rhaegar and Lyanna tying the knot till Samwell mentioned it. Funny isnt it? grin

Okay, how about Bran; "I am the three eyed raven, I know everything"

Yet he assumed that Jon was a Sand and not a Targaryen. undecided

Bran is definately the worst 3 eyed raven ever. He cant see properly or give detailed information about what happened in the past unless the person is having sexx or being rapped.

The goofs were just too much for someone who can see everything.

So what are your thoughts and observations? Feel free to share. Bashing is allowed. cheesy



Ok Mr. Loopholes I will try and counter some of your points. ..


1. The Unsullied were never thought to be dead.... After capturing Casterly rock and Euron burnt down their ships, it is normal for them to walk through westerous bck to dragonstone/kingslanding as their queen commands...(even Jamie highlighted that the Unsullied will match through westerous during the raid at high garden). Just like some plot of GoT; details about their movement through westerous wasn't shown (which is normal if important events didn't occur along their path).


2. The Hound carrying a lantern *common* how is this a plothole; especially after riding on a breathing fire while escaping from the army of the dead.

3. We all know that the Mountain is technically dead.... I mean that guy doesn't even talk anymore he's more like a living Wight (all thanks to Qyburn). Even dead Wight with blue eyes dey see not to talk more of a red danger eye... (but how is this a plothole again??)

4. Well I really don't care how Reaghar looks so you calling it a plothole is base on your opinion. .. no comment

5. Bran has never in the series said he knows everything contrary to what you wrote (him no be God)... ( I see everything now those are his words ). We all know seeing is different from knowing. You only know what you have decide to see....



Well, no one is perfect and you can't please everyone. .. it's good to criticise the producers (D&grin); but we should also understand that this guys are dealing with time here... if we have to wait for GRRM we will still be stuck at season 5 by now.
Even now that rumours are saying the final season will air in 2019 fans are crying blood (and this same fans will say why are they rushing).


Finally, Most fans that are complaining about this season 7 are those that read the leaked script. .. it took the suspense away from them.

The best series there is.

Spoilers ruined it for me this year, with everyone thinking they know what will happen next because of spoilers they have read online and then complaining about the show runners of not doing a good job.

Still find solace in all the episodes this season despite the spoilers.

What is dead may never die.

Adios

Yeah, that dude got 7 lives..... He's been at the brink of death so many times i have lost count
And he's motivated by money
But he's taken jamie as a friend and to think a while back he was BFF with tyrion

The only question i have on my mind is.... Let's say he's paid by khaleesi to kill jamie.... Would he?
Or does he have emotions and loyalty than he let's on


Bronn allegiance is to the highest bidders... if khaleesi offer better pay he will switch sides in a heart beat.

You continue to display a shocking lack of comprehension. The only way a Raven could cover a 2500km distance in 32 hours flying at 80km/h is if it flew non-stop. There is no other way it could cover that distance within the time given in that chart.

The rest of your post is just unintelligent garbage as usual. What I don't get is why you always feel the need to inflict your particular brand of silliness on me, completely unsolicited. I would appreciate if you just ignore my posts in future - your unique blend of belligerence and stupidity might be your USP, but I'm not interested in your market fam.



@bolded please dont refer me to the books... I'd like to know; where in the show was it stated that the distance in the show is same with that of the book


Game of thrones is an adaptation from a book doesn't mean everything must be the same (that include dialogues and plots). The show runners might have their own size of westerousy different from that of GRRM....
TV/Movies / Re: Game Of Thrones Discussion (Beware Of Spoilers) by Cybertext(m): 8:41pm On Aug 24, 2017
Eberex:
Make sense


The only fact I find distorted is the distance from Dragonstone to the wall being (2500km)....

there's no where in the show where actual distance of places have been stated.... most people confuse westerous of the book (here actual details was given) to that of the show.


Westerous in the book could be as big as Western Europe,



In the show it could be as big as rhode island nobody knows....

"The Dragon and the Wolf" season finale should be epic as all the other episodes of this season 7....

What I've learnt so far:


This past weeks I now see reasons why humans wants cannot be satisfied. ..

We've spent 6 seasons watching people talk in rooms (snitching, scheming and politicking) about what's going to happen and now things are happening so fast we all want to go back to more dialogues...


We've seen a dragons, direwolf, wights and white walkers, and yet we are amazed as to how a big chain can be used to drag a dead dragon out of a frozen lake


We've seen leaked scripts and read so many spoilers and theories and yet complain about how the show lost it suspense.


Overall we love the show and we try to contribute , criticize and whinge grin ... but mehn two years is a long wait.

1) you made that assumption. The wights literally came out of the water to drag Tormund into it. You made that assumption yet you are calling it a plot hole. Where in the show did they say wights cannot swim?

2) Uncle benjen has served his purpose. He drew the attention of the wights so that they wouldn't chase Jon's horse. He was willing to die. This isn't a plothole.

3)you are making stupid assumptions again and blaming the show that your assumption didn't come true. The squad trekked from the wall to the mountain (Probably took a day or 2), then Gendry had to run back to the wall ( he ran overnight).

You are assuming that the WW have been matching to the wall. Why will they match to the wall when they cannot pass it?




Your assumptions are whack. Its not a plothole



Baba you nailed it.

some peeps were also asking how they got big chains to drag the dragon from d lake , maybe they probably forgot that in Hardome alot of ships were abandoned with their anchored chains...., they could also get chains from the wildling village north of the wall (we all saw the war at the wall with mammoth and giants using chains to pull off the gate)..

Sansa asked Arya if she would have survived what she had survived. ..
Arya replied we will never know. ..


Arya asked sansa to play a game of Truth... Arya was sure that Sansa has interior motive of wanting to be a queen (base on her previous lifestyle and the fact that she's now occupying Ned and catelyn's room)...


if she (sansa) had played that game we'll have known whether she truly stands for Jon or not...but, Hey!! We'll never know.

the only unnecessary criticism i see here are the Sansa kinds.
we know it's fantasy, the show runners made it known that time jumps will be frequent now (started with varys last season finale).

we don't need to know the distance, the wall is far to kings landing, dragonstone is farther. check the map.

I'm not disputing your points. ... based on the map Dragonstone is far from east watch.... but since they didn't tell us from the beginning that this is the size of the map and this is the distance per miles (in the show not books), then its left for our imaginations.



I can only criticise if from season one a raven travelled from the wall to Kingslanding for 48 hours and now its less than a minute.

overnight you say?? So Gendry ran so fast enough to eastwatch, sent a raven so fast to DragonStone, Danny flew so fast from Dragonstone too all in one night?
GRRM said Westeros is as big as South America, the time jumps just don't make sense.
no one is whining, talking about the holes are part of enjoying the show imho


Yea I believe talking about plot is different from unnecessary criticism. ..some peeps are now GM of IMDB , rotten tomatoe etc...


@bolded it's a fantasy tale you don't expect everything to fall in line with reality. .. we don't know how fast a raven flies or the top speed of a dragon. .. we also don't know the miles (distance) between eastwatch and that mountain where gendry ran from ( to me it might be less than 5miles to you it could be way more).

We don't know the distance from Dragonstone to eastwatch in the show... all we know is what we see and imagine for ourselves.


The book is quite different from the show even though there are a lot of similarities.

Guys gist, they can't start showing us all the gist and gossips na. Tormund has been south of the wall longer enough to know the politics and schemes of who sits on the iron throne and why.
