[Albion] Premier League 4-6/11/23

[Sheebo]

The palace stats suggest an Everton style classic palace anti football ‘win’ again. There’s so much dross in the prem now surviving every year…

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

VAR shocker at Bramall Lane.

Just seen it, how on earth has VAR given it.

Can see why the in field ref gave it

 

[Muzzman]

It’s it me or does it feel like Sky have a Newcastle game nearly every week?

 

[jakarta]

Last game of the day, mate of mine is a Gooner and always want Newcastle to lose these days so...

 

[Sheebo]

Adam: After today's game, Brighton have conceded 20 goals this season so far. Only three teams have conceded more, and they make up four of the bottom three, while Brighton have kept one clean sheet in all comps since April. Yet Dunk is considered better for England than Ezri Konsa

Konsa

Havertz a bit lucky to avoid a red there.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

How has Havertz not seen red

 

[The Wizard]

Embarrassing behaviour from both sides in this game, pathetic it’s like watching the Madrid derby.

It’s not a red, he barely even touched him, which is fairly lucky, it was more of a block lunge.

 

[WhingForPresident]

How on earth has Havertz not been sent there? VAR having another fantastic weekend.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Loving all the Newcastle players being booked

Smug looking annoyed

Longstaff makes a miraculous recovery

It's late
Both feet off ground
Scissor action
High

But apart from that, fine

Howard Webb is going to be busy on Monday.

The key thing, he didn’t touch the Newcastle player with the initial lunge, only his trailing leg caught him, hence not a red.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

He's then booked three Newcastle players. Fml what a joker

It’s getting worse. Two aspects … most teams have mass ranked defences, then the cheating, more and more managers coaching lying.

Not sure you have to touch the player for it to be a red

 

[The Wizard]

Not sure you have to touch the player for it to be a red

get a grip, that’s never a red card, it was a potential red card tackle but without the forceful contact there’s no case for a red, he’s just lucky the Newcastle player saw him coming.

Think it should have been this…..

SERIOUS FOUL PLAY

A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play.

Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.

Why does he need to get a grip? He’s right. You don’t need to make contact for a red. In today’s football rules, that’s a red.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

So a player jumps out the way to stop himself being snapped in 2 and it's ok as he didn't make Contact?

Not sure I agree.

Using the same logic, he should have had his leg broken to get a player sent off.
