[Albion] Sean Dyche - slippery as an eel

[Mayonaise]

Izquierdo was a ridiculous dive though.

That dive was so embarrassing it was almost Zaha standard!

Hard to defend that TBH.

 

[Motogull]

@Bra and @Bozza, thanks for that I wasn't aware of the finer points. Sean Douche should be aware so that makes him more of a prat.

 

[Ecosse Exile]

The ref clearly saw Izquierdo's dive and waved play on, no further action can be taken, he didn't deem it worthy of a booking, probably to busy laughing.

Tarkowski's elbow wasn't seen as it was off the ball, this is where retrospective action can come into play, had it been seen it was a clear penalty and red card for violent conduct. He'll be lucky to get away with that imo.

indeed the dive was an embarrassment but no more than that with no material effect on the game. Dyche knows that and is clearly trying to deflect away from the defender elbow which should bring a ban.
as i get older i really start to dislike this type of crap. i wish managers would just be honest.

 

[LamieRobertson]

I'm surprised Dyche doesn't get stuck in this position

 

[Hampster Gull]

Both should be looked at retrospectively, poor from both

If MOTD had kicked up half the fuss about Tarkowski's elbow as they did about Hemed's 'stamp' he would be out fro three matches. For some reason they went easy on Burnley and instead concentrated on Jose's ridiculous but harmless drive. Tossers!

 

[banjo]

He’s quite good at cooking though.

 

[Acker79]

Tarkowski will be having a nice, perfectly timed Christmas and New Year holiday.

Given how the Lukaku kick turned out, I'm not holding my breath.

"Incredible" Burnley are the current flavour of the month with the media. It wouldn't fit the narrative.

 

[studio150]

Don't think either will be looked at. The elbow wasnt to the head so would have only got a yellow.

Izquierdo was just doing an impression of the 3rd best player in the world and didn't con the ref.

 

[dsr-burnley]

Does he get credit for not whinging about the non-offside goal, which MOTD also didn't mention? (Incidentally, our fourth "offside" disallowed in the last six matches, two absolutely wrong and two (yesterday included) marginal).

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Managers say what they have to in order to be seen to be on the side of their players. Hang players out to dry and you'll soon lose the dressing room.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I guess he also feels that 'cheating' is not important, ie Pope's ludicrous delays taking goal kicks or free kicks. So why he having a go at Izquierdo I don't know?

Exactly the same as Ryan did at Wembley. The Spurs fans were booing every kick he took because of it. We cannot point the finger at other teams.

It was in the north goal, and most definitely offside. The linesman was in a perfect position and had no hesitation in waving his flag.

I like S D, and if we were in the market for a manager, would be one of my choices.

The camera was also in a pretty good position, and it showed that when the ball was passed to Arfield the Brighton man's hand was definitely nearer the goalline than Arfield's hand, but Arfield's body may (depending on exactly when the frame is stopped) have been a couple of inches nearer the goalline than the Brighton man's body. Basically, they were level in terms of normal eyesight. IMO.

Me too. He's much cleverer (and funnier) than he comes across on TV.

The cameras are near the halfway line, with a pitchside one in the corner.

 

[dsr-burnley]

The cameras are near the halfway line, with a pitchside one in the corner.

The 6 yard line painted on the pitch is a very helpful guide, though. You watch when the ball is first played to Arfield - if he's offside, it's very marginal.

Hand closer?

Maybe. Except, you cannot legally touch the ball with your hand, as such it is not considered when judging offside. Arfield's leg is clearly closer to the goal that Dunk's body.

Offside position
It is not an offence to be in an offside position.

A player is in an offside position if:

any part of the head, body or feet is in the opponents’ half (excluding the halfway line) and
any part of the head, body or feet is nearer to the opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent
The hands and arms of all players, including the goalkeepers, are not considered.

A player is not in an offside position if level with the:

second-last opponent or
last two opponents

But that is only part of the story, of course. That shot was saved and the ball fell to Wood, who when the shot was taken was stood here:

In an offside position and gains an advantage.

I sit in line with the 18 yard line, so have a very helpful guide. See Acker79's post.
