BBC Sport - Brighton 1-0 Gillingham

Maybe we should have signed Kyle Bennett, that goal was Elliot-esque.

I was wondering when this show was going to be on! A little bit too late for my liking!
How the f*** was that not a red for the challenge on Vincelot? Disgraceful challenge.

Exactly! I told the bloke he was a disgrace as I left the 1901 about 10.30 and he was waiting to get on the team bus. Mumbled something like 'none of your business'! Muppet

The Buckely thing is very odd!
But, is that a foul? If it is you're really making the bicycle kick illegal.
Also, the penalty: A lot of people saying it was soft, but the replay doesn't look that soft. He goes for the ball (if he touches it at all it's very slight and Buckley can still get to it and score) and trips Buckley. Ok he didn't exactly clatter him but that's a penalty imo.
I didn't notice for the red card tackle Gus was actually on the pitch! lols.

he was on the pitch saturday too when kll was brought down just in front of the dug-outs (not the penalty decision). I might back him to score 1st at pompey!
Overhead kicks are only legal if they are safe to do, so what buckley did was a foul. (seriously that's what the laws of the game have to say about it). I'm sure it's been argued in other threads about the fairness of punishment depending on the degree of injury suffered, but I've never seen an overhead kick declared a foul when no one has been hurt, which does seem a little unfair (if the player hadn't leaned in to head the ball he wouldn't have got kicked, so it wouldn't have been awarded as a foul even though Buckley wouldn't have done anything different).

Having watched it for the first time on TV from what I could see I think that the player caught Buckleys back leg and that the decision was correct, it was a trip.
They didn't show it on TV but I think that if the trip that brought about the yellow card for the No 8 wasn't a professional foul I don't know what is so should have been a red.

from my seat i was at the left of the goal post and had a clear view of what happen and it was not a penalty in my eyes but the amount of red cards they should of had i feel in this case 2 wrongs make a right

Is this not down to interpretation of the rules of the game and my interpretation is that a kick with both feet off of the ground is dangerous play.

A scissors or bicycle kick is permissable provided that, in the opinion of the referee, it is not dangerous to an opponent
(pg115) http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/affe...e_2011_12e.pdf
as I said down to individual interpretation one ref could say it was dangerous and another say not, even if a player isn't in contact with the kicker. If I was a ref and there was a player within 1 metre of the raised feet I would consider that dangerous in case a player attempted to get the ball.

i was in fron row of NS the challenge was right in from of me. Although i can be seen leaping from my seat to appeal for a pen, it was not. perhaps the slightest of commings together. Way less then lualua on Sat. Buckly got a little tied up with his own legs
