[Albion] Premier League 11-14/8/23

[Acker79]

With all the millions in the PL surely they can afford bigger screens then. That is no excuse for these crap decisions.

I think you are confusing issues. The small screens is an explanation for why the commentators struggle speaking confidently about some decisions that we sit at home and can see as a clear decision.

Wasn't Ali Mac's arm tucked in close against Spurs when the Mitoma goal was chalked off for handball?

As well as the point about handball rules being different for goal scorers and everyone else, haven't we all said the ali mac decision was wrong? If a decision is wrong you can't really use it to question explanations for correct decisions.

I'm honestly only half paying attention. Happy to be wrong

You mean when it wasn't even certain that it actually hit his arm?

However - the rules are different up front than at the back.

Which sounds even more ridiculous. Handball is handball wherever it happens.

Gonna be a good season for yellow cards if the refs keep this up on time wasting, dissent etc. (and I hope they do)

Salah throwing a right strop being subbed

Some of the decisions Chelsea have got today really make you wonder.

 

[The Fits]

Liverpool still don't look right do they?
They've lost their mystique.
So many talented players but they're just not the team they were.

But it's not. The rules are clearly that if the ball comes off your hand and a goal is scored from it, then it's handball regardless of intent. The problem with MacAllister's at Spurs was there was no proof it hit his hand at all. I can't quite believe I'm defending refs but I still think Dunk's was handball because he was making himself bigger and Jackson's wasn't because his arm was tucked in. Don't worry, I'll be furious with the refs again soon!

"This match underlines that the Big 6 are not necessarily the Top 6". Blimey, something a commentator says makes sense for a change.

Sloppy game, loads of loose passes

 

[The Fits]

Sanchez fucks it up.
Mac fucks it up.

 

[pasty]

Sanchez nearly gifting it to Liverpool

 

[US Seagull]

at Sanchez

" ...a Robert Sanchez moment.. "

 

[trueblue]

Mac reading the Sanchez mistake.

Great claim on the corner though. That was the original Sanchez.

Like Les Dawson's piano

 

[banjo]

Well, these two look bang average. Which is nice.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Footballers are morons. MacAllister waiving an imaginary yellow card when he has been told and has seen the consequence of doing this.

Think our bench is better than pools !!
