Steve How Hard? Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Proud of the lads. Sat too deep 2nd half and rode our luck a bit but overall deserved the draw. Definitely not ideal having another fixture but on the plus side our dream of winning it is still alive. COYR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbados Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I must say, despite Linekers natural bias toward leicester I thought the pundits were spot on tonight, has some good things to say about us and kept it balanced, not like Manish the **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram1964 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Could see their goal coming as soon as Hughes came off,but alot of commitment, keogh,Olson,Hughes and Carson top class,well done lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddy Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Hughes comes off the water carrier comes on and we lose all creativity in midfield. Looks like Hughes might be missing for Tuesday, not good, we gave Leicester a game in the 1st half but got our muscled in the 2nd. Who's said we cannot play without Martin? Both Bent and Ince played well together and Bryson played like he was back in 14/15 season I still say we need another creative midfielder for us to move forward as a team, without Hughes we struggle. 2-2 fair result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Hobhead Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Fair result. Bizarre goals we've conceded though. What was Bent doing? And Butterfield wasn't on the line for the equaliser. We looked solid in normal play. And had a penalty turned away. I saw little to hammer the players with. Hope Hughes is ok. Bryson scored a great goal. Olsson my man of the match.

i-Ram Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Fair result. Players worked their socks off, but for most of the second half we just kept giving the ball away. Other than Hughes, Ince and arguably Baird we really don't have anyone else with the composure and confidence to hold and pass the ball. A nod to Bryson tonight though. Great effort from him and a nicely taken goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His arm is by his side before the shot is taken, and his extends it as the ball gets nearer to him, couldn't be any more clearly deliberate imo It wasn't handball, he couldn't move his arm out the way. Watchagain and he's moving to his left. Stand up now, take a step to your left (a few sidesteps) and tell me if your right arm remains locked to your side. I guarantee it either doesn't, or if it did, you're purposely fixing your arm there in an unnatural sort of way. There was absolutely no intent from Huth at all.

His hand was away from his body and clearly stopped a goal scoring opportunity? Fair enough if it was close to his body and hit at him....but that was certainly not the case. If it wasn't a penalty, I guess if i ever play professional football I will always leave my arm trailing and put my body more forward, much more chance of blocking the ball somehow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbados Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Only downside to tonight really is that Hughes has probably just alerted most teams in the Premier League, utterly outstanding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible performance and why was he 2 yards behind the goal line then duck?!?! You know I see stuff like that and it makes me wonder. I'm not accusing anybody of anything let's make that clear. But when you actually look like you're throwing a game then I think the manager needs to be having a stern word. I mean what can you do when you're not even on the pitch? What was actually going through his brain? Reminded me of Paul Williams in the playoffs but even worse, also against Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Ram Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Draw about right after a poor start. Need to work on defending set pieces. Hughes injury a big blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimRam Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 We would have won this had Hughes stayed on. He is that important to the team thought we rode our luck at times after he went off. Also we had those bizarre patches where we cannot get the ball or string more than 2 passes together. Very strange, did that v Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think footballers all play in the pencil position, with arms locked by their sides? Of course they don't. I mentioned this in a post above. Stand up, take sidestep to your left (as Huth was moving in that direction) and I guarantee that the moment your left leg moves, your right arm naturally moves away from your side. Try it. It was totally unavoidable from Huth's part. You can't give handball for that, as what's the alternative? Every plays football in the pencil position or without arms...

I've watched it multiple times and there's no way his arm should move that much, it's not like it's a little outstretched- it's pretty much fully extended- not sure he totally intended to stop the ball, but his hand is defiantly in an unnatural position in my view, and it seems Mac agrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handball. If you have your eyes open when you watch the replays it clearly comes off his hip first then hits his hand. If anything he was moving his hand away from the balls initial trajectory. first glance I thought it was a penalty but the ref was spot on in not giving it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I've been saying, the fact its by his side before the ball is hit and then he moves it out makes it a clear handball in my view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is, I've seen that given hundreds of times, and can you say it isn't intentional??? If I was a defender there is definitely a certain way I would play if I could get away with that every week....and of course, it wouldn't be deliberate! so ref don't give any penalties against me.
