MOTD

Very disappointed that they did not discuss the penalty decision, surely Hansen as a former defender should have commented that shirt pulling ( whilst wrong) should be consistently judged !

Ie. all or nothing !

It happens a dozen times each match but is seldom penalised !

Personally I would outlaw it completely and in this case feel that the BBC should at least have highlighted it !

Hansen: "I'd just like to point out that a penalty was given in this match, and rightly so. But sometimes, in other games, they don't get given. And that's a shame".

 

That would do it. Alan Hansen, pundit genius.

At the same time Fonte was tugging an Arsenal player, Giroud was tugging Hooiveld's shirt only yards away.

 

Both Saints and Arsenal players were fouling each other near the ball at the same time yet the ref gives it to Arsenal and MOTD completely ignores the penalty. Odd that...

Nope, I don't think MOTD ignored the penalty. I think they covered it.

"and MOTD completely ignores the penalty"

 

You didn't see the penalty on MOTD? Or any replays? Really?

 

Gosh.

 

I think you need to have been outraged by it exclaiming it the worst decision ever for it to have been considered covering it pal.

:toppa:

 

TBH I forgot where I was for a minute. Although I was confused a little, when Captain Contradictory said MOTD completely ignored the penalty. Guess he was wrong on that one. Again....

In hockey this is called a 'simultaneous breach of the rules' and play is restarted with a bully off.

 

In 40 years of playing/coaching/umpiring I've never seen this rule given.

 

In that case football can probably manage without it too and the referee should therefore compute: the relative histories of the two sides, who's at home, the media profile and potential grief he is going to get from the two managers, ditto the meejah, he should also consult the league tables and the relative position of the two sides, and consider the TV companies advertising interests. After he's done all this he should give the decision to the top-4 club, that's how it works.

 

cf Chelsea v West Brom in the last round of games.

 

 

Agree A got hold of B, fractionally before D got hold of C; B was never in any position to play the ball though A didn't help by looking guilty as feck!

I would want a foul for all shirtpulling but referees have relaxed their view on it - that looked like a one man crusade to reintroduce it, and normally I would be all for that - if consistent.

 

 

But I suspect that his decision will stand alone, because I give it three minutes in the next match before we see a similar offence unpunished.

 

If one shirtpull is a penalty then Lambert should have about eight in the next home game.

In most games we've had defenders not even looking at the ball from a corner and with both arms wrestling Rickie, Lovren, Fonte - but nothing given.

 

Inconsistency.

Exactly. I've made a similar point on another thread.
