[Football] Lukaku - Retrospective Action

[BensGrandad]

Not bitter about the result.

More annoyed that Hemed got 3 games for a questionable stamp.

There can be no doubting Lukaku’s intentions

The difference being we are not Man Utd and CH is not Jose and that makes a big difference.

The other question is why did the assistant not spot the double kick. Surely he would have been looking directly at the incident.

 

[Bodian]

Was there actually any contact?

 

[Reagulls]

Thanks again, from feeling better about the corner I'm now pi$$ed off again about Lukaku!
Please let there be retrospective action, as another poster mentioned, Hemed got a 3 game ban so let's hope he'll get the same.

No mention on MOTD, despite the in depth analysis ... could see lukaku pirouetting and kicking out quite clearly.

 

[GT49er]

Not a murmur on MOTD. C'est la vie.....................

 

[Yoda]

Was there actually any contact?

I would hazard a guess at yes, but not a lot. Having seen it again on MOTD Bong is seen holding his nuts for a second or two afterwards.

 

[Turkey]

Rather they had him available for Watford game tbh

 

[SweatyMexican]

That's the clearest kick out I've ever seen. I hope the FA will follow up.

I've noticed if I keep watching these enough there is an alien in row three taking pictures of us. We're doomed.

Football fans think MOTD glossed over a crucial incident in their Manchester United coverage

Bong was naive. He should have fallen like a sack of potatoes and stayed down and then the cameras would have been all over the 'incident'.

But then that would have been cheating on our part because it doesn't appear any contact was made, although the intent was there!

There won't be any retrospective action.

Not only is it nowhere near the ball it’s TWO counts of violent conduct. Again, not bitter, everyone knows they were lucky but that should have been our free kick and a RED card but won’t be given at OT. Poor. Also, I still can’t see Solly’s touch on the replay given they said they can see it on MOTD - it’s one I can’t quite make out? Either way, we were robbed again.

 

[Sheebo]

When I was on Surrey County FA I could have made a complaint and it would have been investigated but sadly I am not now.

BG, are you saying that if you were still on the Surrey FA you could make a complaint about Rom Lukaku kicking Bong in a match in Manchester and it would get investigated? If so, how can NSC help to get you back on there? I’m sure there’s 1000s in here willing to vouch for you..

 

[midnight_rendezvous]

Hmm i don't think anyone is bitter ..they are just pointing out what appears to be a deliberate kick or two

A deliberate kick moreover, that if spotted, would have meant the goal would have been disallowed.

Kammy just highlighted it on Goals on Sunday. I think that's the first I've seen mentioned of it outside of this thread.

Yes the ruling is that if a formal complaint was made by any county representative it will be investigated as they are considered to be independent observers.

Just a point of interest when we lost 5-0 at Palace at 2.15 that day the game was in fear of being called off as I asked for a ticket and Palace wouldnt give me one. I phoned the Secretary of Surrey who in turn phoned them and told them to give me one or the game couldnt be played again I was considered an independent county observer. They found me a ticket in the top of the stand right up in the corner with very poor vision that they couldnt sell but they found one. Taking to Les Smith (County Sec) later he told me that he would have refused to let the game go ahead had they not given me a ticket. I had a pass which entitled me to go to ANY game in England but out of politeness we always asked any League teams for a ticket..

But will that be enough for the FA to pick up on it?

As I said it is down to whether an official picks it up and puts in a complaint. It must be remembered that every County FA has about 30 + members any of whom could complain. So there is a reasonable chance that somebody will.
