Gaspode Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 16 minutes ago, Wazztie16 said: What if it stops a (clear) goal scoring opportunity? Which bit don't you get about an accidental collision? - without intent it's not a foul, it's therefore not a freekick or a penalty - whether it's a goal-scoring opportunity is utterly irrelevant if a foul hasn't been committed..... Yes, there would be occassions when a player tried to look as if they'd accidentally run into another player to stop an attack (think David Luiz who does it fairly regularly) but it should be easily picked up by VAR. If we revert to actually applying the laws of the game which deem that a foul is an unfair act by a player, we'd get rid of the ridiculous 'I felt him brush against my shirt so I'd better throw myself to the ground' approach that's so prevalent nowadays....

He was recklessly out of control when sliding across the floor, and had his studs been up high, and made contact, it's irrelevant whether intent was there, he'd have seen red.

TimRam Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Daft freekick Wba v Brighton. Goal scored...var...both teams arguing with ref, ref at pitchside with managers. Verdict after all that, retaken freekick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Every Premier League game watched makes me not actually being fussed about staying in the Championship for years to come. At least we have poo referee decisions, then that's the end of it, the game goes on. They have poo decisions, five minutes of deliberation, and then still a poo decision. So boring. maxjam, RadioactiveWaste and Highgate 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the farces we're used to are over and done with inside a minute. We had to wait about 4 minutes to review the farce, presumably while those at Stockley Park quickly wrote a variety of decisions on some scrap pieces of paper, then picked one out a hat to reach the conclusion.

SKRam Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Matt Targett with this weeks most embarrassing play acting to get an opponent booked. Even if it was a Leeds player he needs to look at himself there. Muppet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game last night would have been better if the fog had thickened a bit more......2 poor teams that for large parts of the game were just going through the motions - never heard Gary Neville so openly critical of Man Utd either...
