[Albion] Foul on Webster by Haaland ??

[The Wookiee]

Ok we have debated the penalty incident but think this needs equal discussion.

Haalands first goal - was it a foul on Webster ??

He literally pushes him out of the way, surely a foul ?

 

[driller]

Absolutely.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

Not a foul. He was simply too strong for Webster.

 

[pb21]

Webster too lightweight there imo.

 

[Guy Fawkes]

If committed by a top 6 side player on a non 6 side player = no foul
If committed by a non top 6 side player on a top 6 side player = foul

Not a foul. He was simply too strong for Webster.

And yet deemed to foul Dunk.

Consistency. What consistency?

 

[nickbrighton]

How that was allowed is beyond me, especially wghen the same ref decided the much less contact on Dunk in the second half WAS a foul. As others have said, the standard of refereeing decisions is appauling at times. Does anyone truly believe the Penalty ot first goal would have sttod had it been for Brighton and not City?

 

[Reagulls]

If it had been Webster shoving Haaland to the floor, Webster would have been off.. free kick city

 

[jcdenton08]

Not for me, Clive.

 

[The Wookiee]

Definitely pushes Webster in the back - was no way a 50/50 fair shoulder barge

 

[Da Man Clay]

Definitely not. Very poor from Webster. He’s not been great for a while.

 

[Swansman]

No foul. Its a contact sport.

Haaland was just stronger.

Find it hard to blame Webster. Don't think there's more than two or three PL CBs that could challenge Haaland in such a situation.

 

[Jeremiah]

I think it's a foul on Webster. Shoved him in the back while running and knocked him off balance - but what was Sanchez doing !

 

[The Wookiee]

No foul. Its a contact sport.

Haaland was just stronger.

Do you not think Haaland pushes Webster ?
I agree it’s a contact sport but you surely can’t lay hands on a player and push him over ?

 

[beorhthelm]

nah, but if Webster does the same and Haadland goes down its a freekick.

Not really, no. As I see it they go shoulder to shoulder at first and then when Webster is already falling, Haaland pushes him away. But you see the exact same thing in most similar situations, some hands here and there. Difference is that Haaland is obscenely strong so it just gets more noticable.

Fair enough
Haaland is a beast and like you said, not many defenders in the Premier League would have coped any better.

and probably see’s red

 

[WATFORD zero]

That was piss poor from Webster, but I am from a generation that remembers Alex Dawson, Ron Yeates, Ron Harris, Franco Beresi, Dave Mackay, John Fashanu, Stuart Pearce, Paulo Montero, Duncan Ferguson etc

Point of contact.

We need to see less of these given as fouls so I'm fine with it. Haaland has nowhere else to go as Webster is coming across him.
