climbon Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 ...and I can't actually believe what I'm seeing. For that fist goal, what was Grant doing, and how on Earth did Forsyth not keep that out. I can't help but laugh...it's pure comedy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uptherams Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Keogh's reaction was priceless. He's lost the plot. Did you see him when Martin was taking the penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammieib Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 What other reaction are you looking for when he concedes a penalty which isn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgford Ram Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 He has lost the plot. His reaction to conceding the penalty and also when Martin took his. Bloody hell. I spotted he just lay on the floor when he conceded, what did he do when Martin took his? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uptherams Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I spotted he just lay on the floor when he conceded, what did he do when Martin took his?He was tussling with one of their players and was stood a yeard inside the box as a result when the penalty was being taken.

TroyDyer Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 The first goal was shocking. The second goal was a penalty despite folks saying it wasn't, and the third was difficult to tell from the television footage, but Hendrick didn't seem to complain about it being given. 3 very poor goals to concede.

unclej Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Life's not fair...Keogh has gone in with his arms up and waving all this eason, only then to land on his arris. Its bad practise that found him out yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroyDyer Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Arsenal v Chelsea - the ball hits cahill's arm at close range. Nothing given. An Inverness CT player saved it with his arm on the line aswell, and wasn't given. If Johnny Russell smashed a shot on goal on Saturday and Gunter slid in and blocked it with his raised arm, and it wasn't given, I would love to see the reaction on here.

TroyDyer Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 FixedWouldn't matter who it was. Dive in with your arms flaying and you are going to give away penalties if it hits your arm. Not rocket science. Also note I didn't have a go at him for it. Simply stated I think it was a penalty. I do find it stupid of Keogh to always dive in with his arms flaying, but I also find it stupid that Bucko (IMO the best we have) always grabs players round the waist at set pieces.

Anon Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 What on earth are you people talking about? All players slide with their arms out. It's about momentum and balance. What world do you live in where you've seen all these footballers hurling their bodies around with their arms rigid by their sides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I always thought the ball-to-hand / hand-to-ball rule was fairly well applied by refs, but you still see occasions where the ref gives it and you wonder how on earth a defender was supposed to have a) anticipated exactly where the ball would be when placing his arms as he moves at speed or b) how he was expected to move his arm out of the way without developing the reaction times of a shaolin master Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroyDyer Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I do believe its due to the ref seeing it as denying a goal scoring opportunity but then again it still doesn't explain the barometers between a penalty being awarded or not It tends to depend where it is too. If it is through a group of players in a packed box, the ref tends to give the defender the benefit of the doubt. When it is a one on one situation where the defenders arm, intentionally or not, blocks the ball from going on goal, they tend to give the attackers the benefit of the doubt. It is a tough one because I can see both sides. If we are one down, in need a point against Reading and Gunter does what Keogh did to deny Russell, and the ref doesn't give a penalty, there would be death threats.

Keogh's hand moves towards the ball. It was probably accidental given the speed it happened - which is why he didn't get a red card, but it certainly prevented a goalscoring opportunity. I think it was the correct decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Correct decision and nothing Keogh could have done about it. Just sums up our luck right now (and how some of our fans are looking for another excuse to berate Keogh). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
