An obsevation

[cirC]

that on at least 2 occasion by Bruno and on one by the Bresnovan the ball was not played but allowed to go into touch when on all three occasions the ball could have been played without challenge.
Bresnovan tried to let the ball go out for a goal kick,was challenged and touched the ball out for a corner.He could have picked it up or just kicked it up field.Bruno allowed the ball to go for throw ins by which time all of our players were being marked and on one of the throws Leicester won the ball and were then in for a goal scoring opportunity.
Just clear it guys up field then at least we are defending on the half way line. Sometimes hoofing is better than trying to be to clever!

Let the ball run out and keep possession, or just hoof it give it away?

I know which I'd prefer.

Brez wasn't challenged, he was barged in the back. Free kick all day long for a proper ref.

Meh?

Agreed.

If our players didn't make occasional mistakes during a game they'd be playing at a much higher level than the Championship, Just my observation.

Agreed. A point that seems to pass a lot of people by.

Brez was fouled for that corner, blatant

Correct he was.If he has picked up the ball then the foul/corner would not have happened.

 

[Everest]

But wasn't the ball outside the pen area anyway?

So he did the right thing, only because of poor refereeing it made brezs decision look wrong then?

This is a pet hate of mine.

I would change the rules so that players are not deemed to be in control of the ball until they've touched it - shepherding out would represent obstruction and would stop instantly.

Spot on,Brez was shoved in the back....foul and a booking.....and I was sitting next to an ex league ref who agreed.

Shepherding a ball should be outlawed. If you have no intention of playing it then get out of the way.
