Today’s Football 2021/22 Season

Leicester 1 up

clear penalty drilled home by Tielemans

Really?

Madison is already mid flight before a fraction of a brush hits him

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Lascelles was mentioned once as a future England defender. Not certain for which sport, absolute carthorse.

The situation with penalties should be a crisis in the game. Any contact is being given as a penalty even after a review.

Lascelles has got no business lunging in like that, yes it was soft and yes Madison went down but that was a foul. Compared to the decision Ronaldo won last night it was nailed on, I think.

West ham denied a penalty that was more of a pen than most this farcical weekend.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

West Ham have their midfield and attack options fit week in week out

Antonio
Bowen
Behrama
Fornals/Lanzini
Soucek
Rice

Imagine if we could keep DCL/Richarlison/Doucoure/Allan/Gray/Townie on the pitch together for once

@Saint Domingo

 

[Tommy Chong]

Eddie Howe did Newcastle give away a peno like that?!?

Refs are supposed to take into consideration the motive of the attacking player when deciding i.e. if he is already going down before he is touched it shouldn't be given. Seems to have gone out the window that directive.

Apparently uefa are looking at AI tech for offside decisions, leave it all up to the machines I say.

What’s the latest general feeling on Saint-Maximin? He always looks a massive handful whenever I see him play.

He lunges then pulls out, Madison is then flying. Contact his a brush of the knee. It's a dive to exaggerates the contact.

Surely that's why VAR is there to replay that and then question it?

Ronaldo he got pulled down. Unless you mean Salah which looked like he stamps on Ming's first.

Absolutely.

That was the 8th penalty this weekend...

What odds can I get for a dodgy peno going against us later?

 

[GP_Monty]

I assume it's not part of a global footballing conspiracy when Leicester get a penalty.

He lunges then pulls out, Madison is then flying. Contact his a brush of the knee. It's a dive to extenuate the contact.

TBF I thought Ronaldo felt an arm on his shoulder and then just threw himself

I suspend my conspiracy theories if they hinder Newcastle's chances of staying in the league.

If I had my way, every team* would be handed at least half a dozen penalties per game against them.



*Which would lower the RS average.
