[Football] Will West Ham become European Champions?

[Insel affe]

Did Robbie Salavage just call West Ham massive….
he’s a right cock.

Sheffield Wednesday will not be happy…

 

[1066familyman]

According to the rules, it clearly is.

It is, yes, but it was clearly part of a natural running motion.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Booooo!

Come on Viola!

 

[BN41Albion]

If they give this it's as soft as the FA Cup final penalty.

Definite pen that - clearly moved his arm to knock it away

 

[The Grockle]

There are tw@ts at every club who would have killed that argument - it just so happens to be West Ham.

Yep every club has their share. I've seen some idiot Albion fans at London away games and we had a very unpleasant contingent in Amsterdam a few years back.

Without condoning the idiot behaviour this evening, If we had 4000 fans in Prague tonight filled with cheap beer there would certainly be a few dozen knobheads playing up.

 

[BN41Albion]

It is, yes, but it was clearly part of a natural running motion.

No way - definitely made sure he knocked it away with his arm!

The off button couldn't be pressed any faster or harder.

 

[1066familyman]

Looked like he moved his hand and pushed it away from the WH player.

He pushed it away from Bowen, yes, but his elbow wasn't extended in a deliberate move. It was clearly part of a natural running motion.

Having said that, I can see why it was given under the ridiculous rules we play by these days.

 

[Insel affe]

Get the feck in, that’s shut them up.

GOAL: FIORENTINA 1-1 West Ham (Bonaventura, 67')
Put through by Gonzalez, Bonaventura showed great composure in the box and fired his shot into the bottom left corner.

Come on I Viola!

 

[Motogull]

1-1.

Come on you Irons.

 

[Bodian]

I thought hand to ball wasn't handball anymore. Oh - sorry, that's just if you are Spurs, not other London teams.

 

[BN41Albion]

Decent goal that... Good game now

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Really poor defending, made me giggle!

 

[timbha]

Really poor defending, made me giggle!

Me too. Hopefully the commentators will calm down a bit now

 

[Machiavelli]

He pushed it away from Bowen, yes, but his elbow wasn't extended in a deliberate move. It was clearly part of a natural running motion.

Having said that, I can see why it was given under the ridiculous rules we play by these days.

They are going to change the rules for hand ball for next season. They should, the current ones are too punitive. But that was clearly a penalty.

Get that, but a Europa trip to Florence could be special

I have to be honest and say that if we get drawn an Italian side will be nowhere near a city centre all day and after the match. I'll do my drinking and eating well clear. And I won't be wearing obvious Albion clothing. Italian fans are some of the nastiest

 

[The Wizard]

Fiorentina have been by far the better side

 

[BN41Albion]

Fiorentina have been by far the better side

Are west ham even trying to play a style of football or just hoping for the best?

Lucas Paquetá looks a great player
