[Albion] MOTD 21/10/17 - Official Thread

[Thunder Bolt]

We had a fair bit of coverage on Football Focus at lunchtime.

Who are we trying to be offended by tonight?

That Man City dive to win the penalty, can that be reviewed for retrospective punishment?

Edit, having seen the slow mo the keeper did tread on his foot, just a shame the player had the over egg the pudding so to speak.

It was a penalty - agree with everything the pundits have just said.

If that exact same thing happened at the Amex and we didn't get a penalty, 99% of Albion fans would be fuming.

Yup, saw the slow mo after which they didn’t show during the coverage.

Those two nodding dogs would agree with anything!
But you must admit, even though there was contact, the player did deserve a 9.5 for the fall.

Britos the error prone clown, in an excellent Watford team.

 

[Bladders]

Lineker had already called Huddersfield, Sunderland and Swansea , Watford .

Think he's past it

Though theatrical his ankle was also close to being twisted over enough to cause an injury by the challenge.

Absolute shithousery by Begovic there. I presume the FA will be speaking to him about that, as we all know how keen they are on retrospective action.

Unless there's an exemption for clubs deemed to be exceptionally plucky.

If anything such a theatrical reaction to a genuine minor foul is more likely to result in a penalty not being given I reckon.

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

Boufal, great goal.

[Lady Whistledown]

Are you talking about the team that beat Chelsea ??

Are you talking about the one win, as opposed to the eight defeats without scoring a SINGLE goal??

I'm looking forward to the yellow card for hideous cheating.

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

How did Tomer get a 3 game ban, when Cabaye only gets a yellow card for an ABH?

Happened on 31 minutes, so they've obviously decided to gloss over that...

 

[Weststander]

Should Speroni have saved that?

Dead centre, Speroni wasn't impeded.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Yummy

Convenient. They did show him hurling himself embarrassingly to the turf in the penalty area at one point, but there didn't appear to be a yellow card given for that one, so one can only assume he did it again later.
