Saint Fan CaM Posted 22 April, 2010 Posted 22 April, 2010 Refs should be disciplined over decisions like that. It was so obviously a pen and the ref couldn't have been better placed to see it, let alone the linesman. Not only that, it was just one of a number of very questionable decisions in the game. Ranks as one of the worst referreeing displays I have ever seen in 45 years of watching football.
saintjay77 Posted 22 April, 2010 Posted 22 April, 2010 Hang on a min. The ball wass fired across the box hard and his arm was down. Its not like his arm was in the air or moved in the way of the ball so anywhere else on the pitch and it ould have been ball to hand. I think its slightly different if the ball is heading into the net and hits an arm on the way but that was a cross so the arm did not stop a certain goal. That kind of decision has been given in the past but either decission would have been harsh on either team. Its crap that it went for them this time but thats football.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 22 April, 2010 Posted 22 April, 2010 WHAT THE ****!??! That ref needs to be suspended - NOW!
The9 Posted 22 April, 2010 Posted 22 April, 2010 Given that he failed to spot a similar hand ball by an attacking Saints player in front of the Northam (in the Oldham box) in the first half, actually pointing to the middle of his chest when it hit nothing BUT arm, and 3 or 4 other probable handballs in the course of the match, I'm hardly surprised he didn't give it.
saintjay77 Posted 22 April, 2010 Posted 22 April, 2010 The defender knew it was a penalty. I think anyone that gets hit on the arm by the ball in the box will think its gona be called. I just think the ref thought more ball to arm and as the ball wasnt heading into the net it didnt stop a certain goal so let it go. A different ref on a different day would have probably given it but some wouldnt have. We just had the feker that didnt.
doddisalegend Posted 22 April, 2010 Posted 22 April, 2010 Isn't that incident the same as Fonte against Charlton hit on the arm in the penlty box nothing given. I can't believe not one of those chances didn't go in the goal, it wasn't through lack of trying though.
trousers Posted 22 April, 2010 Posted 22 April, 2010 (edited) Hang on a min. The ball wass fired across the box hard and his arm was down I'd say the arm was 'partially raised' rather than 'down'.... Edited 22 April, 2010 by trousers
anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 22 April, 2010 Posted 22 April, 2010 That loooked like the Alamo. For the penalty claim, the ref can only give the handball if he thinks it was deliberate. You see them given all of the time and if I was a Saints player I would have been screaming at the ref but I can understand why it wasn't given.
saintjay77 Posted 22 April, 2010 Posted 22 April, 2010 I'd say the arm was 'partially raised' rather than 'down'.... I meant down as in not above his head which is when hand ball is almost always given. Your right though, looking again his arm does go up a bit but as full speed and on the wrong side of the ref I can understand the ref (giving the benifit of doubt that the ref wasnt blind as a bat and did actually see it here) playing on believing it was ball to arm and not a certain goal. Penalty or not, we peppered there goal and I am amazed we didnt get at least 1. Had we got the 1st I think it would have been flood gate time. But its over now. Lets hope the 2 above royally cokc things up and let us back in with a shout or hope that we get the automatic spots next year.
Whitey Grandad Posted 22 April, 2010 Posted 22 April, 2010 I'd say the arm was 'partially raised' rather than 'down'.... The ref couldn't see that. I looked straight away at the assistant but he just looked sheepishly back at the ref. Between them, they bottled it.
buctootim Posted 22 April, 2010 Posted 22 April, 2010 I thought the incident on 24secs was even clearer.
krissyboy31 Posted 22 April, 2010 Posted 22 April, 2010 Bloody Flahavan! Call himself a Saints fan?!!
Tamesaint Posted 22 April, 2010 Posted 22 April, 2010 Bloody Flahavan! Call himself a Saints fan?!! I kept saying that all evening to my lad. Do you think he posts on here? If so, what is his name??
david in sweden Posted 22 April, 2010 Posted 22 April, 2010 ...clear ****ing penalty! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/8634843.stm .and then the FA will discipline managers who speak out and criticise referees....:smt026....just think if Alea Ferguson had to put up with our refs. from League 1.......... He'd be on a touchline ban till he was 80 !
