[Albion] Sean Dyche is confused.

The Fifth Column · Aug 19, 2024

"A big decision on the penalty - I can't really work it out."

Its really not that difficult Sean mate, your player wasnt fouled because he planted his foot on Lewis Dunk, try watching the footage you gravelly voiced ginger goon.

Massive wanker with an even bigger chip on his shoulder.

Absolutely LOVED us smashing them.

If we'd have got a pen for that I'd have considered it incredibly fortunate. I'm still not sure how many pundits have said they thought it was one too!

The only contact was DCL's foot landing on top of Dunks already sliding foot.

LamieRobertson · Aug 19, 2024

Is he confused the Everton player didn’t pick up an Oscar for that fall?

spence · Aug 19, 2024

I thought Sue Smith's verdict was just as w@ank thinking it was a pen.

Sue Smith, the sky pundit and Everton fan, thinks it was a penalty. She said "Dunk going down early stops Calvert-Lewin being able to take a shot.".

Yes, that's called defending Sue.

He can be quite amusing and entertaining when things are going ok for him but as soon as it starts going wrong he's exactly that.

Our high line is going to give me kittens at times this season (especially when you have a lino like we did who was letting even the most obvious offsides go, using VAR as his own personal backup plan) but it made Dyche somehow play UBER Dycheball. Dycheball on steroids. If you anthropomorphisised the football it would have been screaming after three minutes. Fifteen minutes or so of Harrison looking quite good followed by seventy five or so of us getting the ball back and looking dangerous in transition.

Sometimes in the past it's looked like we value our tactics over the winning of three points. This was the other way round for us and them.

Be fair - he has chips on both shoulders

Very much this.

Going to be a long season for him and his team.

She doesn't help herself with that daft summary of the pen. It only adds fuel to the Joey Bartons of this world.

I'm confused as to why Calvert-Diver didn't get a yellow for simulation. If you watch it again, the 'collapse' to the ground was an entirely separate finale.

Beanstalk · Aug 19, 2024

Thought Match of the Day were really good on this.

Confirmed the ruling quickly, said they'd talked to PGMOL who had clarified that the contact was initiated by DCL in landing on Dunk's foot and also clarified that there is a back up screen and the referee did in fact see it and overturn his own decision.

Also moved on from that immediately, and didn't make it the centre of their analysis.

Yes her and Stephen Warnock were wrong on this one but I actually rate them as pundits.

I think Sue is the best female pundit on TV or radio.

To be fair, when she watched the replay, she realised, that DCL made contact, not Dunk. I thought her punditry was quite fair on Soccer Saturday.

The refs aren't allowed to do that on the basis of a VAR review. Personally wouldn't label it a dive either, I'd lose balance as well, just a non-penalty.

Got to agree, I thought she was very fair and is a decent pundit.

Bodian · Aug 19, 2024

I don't think Dyche actually said he thought it was a penalty. His gripe seemed to be that the initial decision was overturned - yet they had been told they would be sticking with the on-field ref's decision with a very high bar.

What he missed out was the discussion about the bar indeed being hurdled, however high it was.

If Katie Price were a footballer, I couldn't forsee any problems.
