That foul was one of the great examples of why football should adopt my idea for IFKs in the box. It was absolutely a foul, and it was absolutely in the box. But the ball was going out of play, and no one wants to award a game-changing penalty on what is effectively a dead play. Solution: stick 21 players in a small area, and play pinball!

Can we keep penalties for DOGSOs anywhere on the pitch?
 
I want us to fit gabb into the side. Wasted on the bench.

Gabb ings mo and redmond is an exciting attacking 4.

Not sure how to shoehorn that into an 11 though


I think you will need 7 other players. Maybe throw in some other subs.

Not that I am an accountant though - so don't take that as gospel.
 
And we are on a forum and it is open to debate.

The fact of the proximity to the line, speed of incident and bodies in the way - I am not surprised it wasn't given.

I was directly in-line with the incident and it wasn't clear.

And guess what - I just debated with you.


I think you're missing the point here; any dubious decision that goes our way is always correct, whereas any such decision that goes against us is always wrong. There can be no debate about that <ok>

I'm down. Though if you're denied an obvious goal-scoring opportunity outside the box, you take the penalty from the spot of the foul. I wanna see 35 yard quasi-free kicks with no damned wall!
