[Football] Lukaku - Retrospective Action

[StonehamPark]

Will there be any, for the two kicks totally off the ball?

Or will it be ignored, thus confirming that it's ok to assault players off the ball, as long as the contact isn't too severe.

......or you're ManUre

Throw in a 3rd charge for deliberately conning a match official for the corner as well. Cheat.

 

[LlcoolJ]

It's the Man U way.

Apparently March has admitted it was a corner. However, I suspect Lukaku will be getting a letter from the FA this week and a couple of weeks off in the very near future

 

[bhawoddy]

Sour grapes?? lol

As I’ve said on the VAR thread. The Lukaku kicks on Bong were picked up immediately after the goal by tv replays on TSN and NBC in the USA/Canada. Would have been no goal and a booking or sending off. Not to mention the corner kick that wasn’t. I’m amazed if March said he got a touch. He protested at the time and Hughton has said he didn’t think it was a corner.

Apparently? What's your source? I doubt it, considering multiple replays showed he never touched the ball.

As for the Lukaku incident, according to NBC, Mark Clattenburg said it should have been a free kick and a yellow.

These kind of incidents only seemed to be looked into after the media whips up a storm anyway. As far as I can see the incidents are barely being mentioned by the media.

Dunk said that March admitted it in the post match interview.

I can't see any action being taken regarding Lukaku tbh.

Up to Sky or Match of the Day.

I think action by the FA will depend on how much MOTD make of it.

 

[lasvegan]

He was obviously just trying to play the balls.

 

[vegster]

Nasty, certainly nowhere near as subtle as Hemed's " stamp " which got a 3 game ban.. however, it's Man Ure so that's ok.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Chill out lads, we lost to a team that have a 100% home record and conceded one goal and we gave them a severe test. Even Jose said we deserved more, don't get bitter.

 

[skipper734]

Plain as day. He's knocking the mud of his boots. Goalkeepers do it all the time..................Oh! he's not the goalkeeper is he?

 

[BensGrandad]

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.

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

 

[blockhseagull]

Not bitter about the result.

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

There can be no doubting Lukaku’s intentions

 

[Ecosse Exile]

Yes Solly did say he got a touch and he did, but i wonder if he realises Lukaku got a touch after?

As for the double back heel by Lukaku, the second one looks like it could have been a well aimed contraceptive! Shame Bong didn't make more of it.... Then again fair play to him for not.

I dont like this whole retrospective thing on the whole but seeing as it is here, surely these incidents are why its here?

Dangerous foul play imo 3 game ban.
