chalga   10 #37 Posted August 12, 2017 It was never a free kick in the first place but for some reason nobody's questioning that decision.  They had a freekick in the first half by the right corner where the black guy went down like a sack of spuds,followed by a corner which resulted from that free kick which was never a corner............we didn't moan but got on and defended them,unlike them with our free kick.

Jim Hardie   517 #38 Posted August 12, 2017 It looked to me that he made a meal out of the challenge and there was minimal contact.  ......or to put it another way - he dived, and could have been booked for it on another day.  It was a good goal but the two bad decisions cancelled each other out so justice done.

He went down, easily. He bought what he was entitled to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

God help the game if that's what they're trying to turn it into. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
chalga   10 #41 Posted August 12, 2017 So the slightest of contacts is always a foul? God help the game if that's what they're trying to turn it into.  But you would be OK with turning it into 2 wrongs make a right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Robbie Loving   10 #42 Posted August 12, 2017 So the slightest of contacts is always a foul? God help the game if that's what they're trying to turn it into.  Depends on the speed a player is going. If a player is running at full speed, the slightest touch can make them fly in another direction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Only my opinion of course, the man that matters gave a free kick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

top4718 Â Â 838 #46 Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) I seem to remember last season when we had some awful refereeing decisions go against us (the handball at Derby being the most memorable) the refs seem to get worse, wait till you get a Prem one officiating a game.

Jim Hardie   517 #47 Posted August 12, 2017 The free kick was a matter of opinion, but the onside goal was a stone cold fact.  That's true but in the opinion of the linesman it was offside. He won't be thinking that tonight of course but the ref might also have a different opinion of his free kick decision after seeing it again.
