Oxford United v Derby County

[SillyBilly]

Just bizarre. I am scratching my head as to what the hell that was about.

Many fans clearly don't know the laws of the game

Isn't legging someone up in the box allowed then?

Hmmm.,....

[DavesaRam]

The ball had gone, so that challenge simply gave the ref a decision to make. We are Derby County - there was only going to be one way that decision was going. Stupid Stupid Stupid

 

[Walkley Ram]

Doesn't matter. We're still gonna win.

[Mucker1884]

If Carlsberg had to choose the best time to concede a penalty, this wins hands down over a 90min+ option.

Stay calm, stay collected, stay top of the form...

I don’t think the ref had any choice. Wildsmith stuck his foot out to bring the player down. The ball was running away but I’m not sure that matters.

The ball was almost out for a goal kick when the contact was made; there was no way the forward would've got the ball. Therefore no penalty.

Need to stop this penalty nonsense. We had this last season. 3 in 4 games now.

LET'S BELIEVE!!! 🐏 

[Gee SCREAMER !!]

Two freekicks not given.

So if you punch someone off the ball, that’s not a red card then because the ball wasn’t involved?

[Derbados]

It must be infuriating for a manager at times, you spend days / weeks preparing for a game, drilling home the tactics and game plan / team meetings then the team talk again before the game. 1 minute in your goalkeeper legs it off his line and smashes into someone with his knee.

Well done Kane.

Almost out means its still in play, when the foul took place in the area. Penalty every time!

Luckily all Paul Warne does is spend 10 minutes making a PowerPoint about crossing the ball more...

Joking obviously...

Or am I?

Yes.

Not if you are Crooke playing for Middlesbrough against Derby - he got Beilik twice in 20 minutes.

So many refs clearly have never played football. 

Does the rule say a penalty (or direct free kick anywhere on the pitch come to think of it) should not be given  just because the player has lost control before the offence is committed? I didn’t think it did. Wildsmith deliberately lifted his leg to impede the forward. Stonewall penalty for me.

[Gee SCREAMER !!]

Need aerial pressure on that goalie.  Looks like a strong fart would blow him over.

[JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta]

It was a pen. Move on, get stuck in to 'em and win it anyway.

Close from Birdy 

[Ramarena]

Close from Bird, he could only really steer it at goal.
