Match Day Thread Bournemouth v Pellegrino In Sunday 3 December 1:30 pm

Yes, but he was a footballing god...we can't expect that from lesser mortals.

 

I'm really enjoying Charlie.
I spent too long listening to people over the summer. He has been treated pretty poorly by some very judgemental people.
Hope he keeps ramming it back down their throats.

 

I seem to remember that when he did his shoulder Austin could be heard saying “I’m okay, I’m okay.” (or similar) in between his cries of pain.

 

Dermot Gallagher's verdict:

DERMOT SAYS: Yes, it's a penalty. We talk about players winning penalties, here, Smith has lost the penalty. It is a foul but the way he goes over sells to the referee that he's dived. Jon Moss' instant reaction is to think he's dived.

 

I agree completely with Dermot, apart from the first sentence. He lost the penalty (quite right), so he lost the penalty.

 

Yes Dermot he dived q.e.d.

 

Good research, incorrect analysis. It clearly says that a direct free kick should be awarded for “attempted” kicks or trips. A direct free kick in the penalty are is a penalty.

 

Only if there is contact.

Weird ko time, Is it because they got EL?

 

Yes

 

Just seen a report that Jon Moss did NOT apologise and hasn't changed his decision. Someone telling fibs?

 

Now Bobby, there’s been lots of debate about whether Saints should have conceded a penalty this weekend. Wipe that from your mind as it is not your responsibility to even things up.

Probably best if you stop all these debates and just don’t give a penalty against Southampton.

Ps. If you fancy being on the telly a lot Sunday evening, you could always give us a dodgy penalty instead.

 

Hope we can role back a couple seasons and just old fashioned beat them. No dodgy pens, no flukes, no over time, just a pleasant 4-0.
Is that too much to ask. In short, yes. But still hoping.

 

Talking of which, as we didn’t lose this one, the Arsenal Match Thread is down to you @William Tell !

 

Good. It was an excellent decision.

 

I thought it was weird that a ref would be looking at replays mid match. Surely that doesn't help you look at future incidents impartialy

 

Bet anything Moss just said "if I got it wrong then sorry" or something. Which is code for F off and stop talking to me.
