Crofts - lucky to stay on the pitch?

[murciagull]

Think how pissed off the Posh fans would have been if his 90th minute header had gone in.

 

[Rusthall Seagull]

The way he's been playing recently it wouldn't be a great loss. Maybe he got the ball before the player?

Why would it not be a great loss ? Since he has come back into the side from injury, we have looked very solid

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Looked a definite red to me. The ref was awful. Just awful.

He based the majority of decisions on context, rather than whether something was actually a foul. Upson should have been booked. How the hell Ulloa didn't get any more free kicks is also beyond me.

Yep. Spot on with that assessment.


Did anyone else think that players from both sides deliberately controlled the ball with their arms quite a few times last night?

Orlandi did a few times in the second half, but good luck to him coz he's one of ours

I know that is is used but it's wrong no? Stone-cold is the correct term.

Surely that's a stone-cold bluff?

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

I thought that referee realised that he had made a mistake in not sending Crofts off and spent the rest of the game giving Peterborough everything

It certainly sounded like the home crowd were unduly influencing him after the incident.

 

[jemwillett]

I thought he got the ball from 90 yards away. Radio Cambridge on the way back were adamant it was a stone**** (insert preferred ending) foul and red. Ref was awful and was a complete homer after that incident.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Just seen highlghts. Crofts didnt touch him. Their player should have had his second yellow for diving.

 

[gazingdown]

No, its stone-wall as in obvious, solid, clear cut. Stone-cold means nothing of the sort

So why not a brick wall penalty? Both make no sense.

Stonewall means to delay or obstruct. It's a verb, not an adjective. e.g. Our defence stonewalled the palace attack.

Stone-cold means absolute, completely etc. e.g. Stone cold sober.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

What do you mean by "stonewall"?

I've heard this term a lot (more common now) on MOTD and it doesn't make sense, surely they mean stone-cold.

I suppose it's like americanisms creeping in, they are often grammatically incorrect but used so much that they seem "normal".

I don't care. Hope that helps

 

[yxee]

from the highlights. blatant professional foul, equally blatant dive. "contact" isn't an automatic trigger for a foul if you touch their leg then they take two strides and collapse afterwards.

wouldn't be surprised if he got a red, but I'm not surprised he got nothing, 6 of one...

 

[TPS]

I was in the home end quite close to this incident, it was a definate foul and in my opinion a sending off as the guy was through, the covering defender would not have got to him before he got his shot off.

The ref was awful, for both teams!!

 

[BBassic]

Ferguson whining about the decision on the BBC: BBC Sport - Peterborough United: Darren Ferguson had from refs

Like father, like son.

Doesn't mention the four or five free kicks they had on the edge of our area that shouldn't have been given though does he?
