[Albion] Premier League 19-21/10/24

You should trust the evidence you're accustomed to. Atwell is hopeless, and got this wrong.

I disagree

The only thing that it should be ruled out for is for Bernardo backing in on Sa. The contact was minimal, it happened before Stones' header, and you get that kind of contact for just about every corner.

Er, you make it sound like you agree that it shouldn't be ruled out?

 

[Machiavelli]

He nudges the 'keeper as the ball is crossed in - mid flight - thus stopping the goalkeeper coming to claim it. He's effected the goalkeeper and therefore, for me, that shouldn't have stood.

Sa was getting nowhere near that cross.

You should trust the evidence you're accustomed to. Atwell is hopeless, and got this wrong. Kavanagh is one of our best refs and did what refs so rarely do: ignore the ref on VAR.

The linesman flagged it offside and the on pitch decision was no goal (sky totally failed to pick up on that during the game) therefore it was the correct decision to send the ref to the screen. He then agreed with VAR and awarded the goal.

 

[London Irish]

The most intelligent football decision by any player this entire weekend. Silva was able to look into the future and anticipate that one of his team mates was going to connect before it happened so he got the hell out of dodge - excellent work

C'mon you reds.


...what a boring nickname

" should " but then you do give the valid reasons for it to be allowed?

Really? Not how I saw it. I understood that: i, Kavanagh gave the goal despite the linesman raising his flag; ii, Atwell/VAR sent Kavanagh to reconsider his original decision; and iii, Kavanagh stood by his original decision and awarded the goal.

Yes according to reports PGMOL have confirmed the on field decision was to disallow the goal.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Here we go.

Arsenal fans preparing their clips of that yellow card, as proof of a conspiracy against them.

 

[WhingForPresident]

More f***ing officiating farces. How is that a yellow for Tosin if Saliba's was a red?

The ball is going away from goal. Colwill is right there too.

That said, it is Chelsea so straight red.

 

[Deadly Danson]

It used to be that you couldn't touch the keeper in the 6 yard box, this was changed in 2006 as a way to try to stop numerous 'soft' free kicks.

I'd like to see this rule reintroduced, however I'd like the keeper to be treated like any other player outside the 6 yard box. This would mean the keeper can be 'challenged' outside the 6 yard box but takes away the ambiguity of the current situation.

Surely not? You think the rule should be that no one can touch the keeper in the 6 yard box? I couldn't disagree more. Goalies have the advantage that they can catch and punch the sodding ball - they should be subject to the same jostling that every other player gets. If it's a foul it's a foul. A little nudge isn't a foul - they need to be stronger. They are overprotected as it is, the poor dears.

Different situations - yesterday was a definite red, today's a definite yellow. Not a farce. And how come I've suddenly starting defending refs, am I ill?

 

[Machiavelli]

What @Mike Small says. The two cases are not comparable. The ball was going towards the corner flag with the Tosin foul, so it wasn't a goalscoring opportunity, whereas Evanilson was prevented from one.

At 01:21…

Craig Maskell wraps his arm around the Doncaster goalkeeper and pulls him firmly to the ground. Storer slams it in. Brighton survive.

What would today’s standards make of that?

It's a foul, it's always been a foul. Thank the Lord the ref missed it, we got very lucky.

On a par with the blues tbf.

 

[pasty]

OK let's move on.

Who's hoping that sulky Sanchez makes a huge mistake in the next game?
“

Nearly!

 

[timbha]

Has Sky turned up the crowd volume at Anfield? I can hardly hear the commentators

 

[pasty]

1-0. Salah from the spot.
