    Well there's the perfect point.. If you just look at a photo of one tiny specifuc moment it looks worse which incidentally was what I said in the 1st place regards the Longstaff pic today before the get Chaos brigade started up

    Indeed. It’s a bit boring a quiet on here isn’t it. Ha ha

    Honestly need the season over and either the takeover or not so we know where we stand. It’s been 12 months+ now.

    There’s a suggestion 12th July is a key date I read somewhere. Not sure why that date mind.

    That was just burns he's worse than indykalia.

    Notice he said no later than July 12th or some ****e like that.

    He's basically assessed that it's probably going to go through within the next 4 months, so he's put that tweet out and if it happens any day before then he'll retweet it saying he was right.

    You need to look again. It certainly is head height but chest height is dangerous anyway.
    It’s irrelevant when the photo was taken, his foot was a dangerous height next to Longstaffs head.
    You feel the defender has to go for it but the laws say if you go for it in a reckless or dangerous way it’s a foul. No disagreements, you are just wrong, as was the ref and var ref.

    Yes headers are dangerous but if you both go fairly for the ball with your head it’s not reckless. Kicking high is.

    I said I'm not arguing with the rule mate I'm saying what my personal opinion is on whether a pen should be given, so I can't be wrong.

    If I'm that defender I'm clearing that like.. I firmly believe if it wa the other way around plenty would be saying no way should you get a pen for that.

    It's the way it is I've learned to accept it, but me personally I don't want soft pens.. I want my defender booting that every time

    Clearly if your opinion is that it’s not a pen you are arguing with the rule.

    If you are that defender you are committing a foul.

    @captain wrong
    Do you think if the defender was trying to head the ball away at that height, and Longstaff come flying in with his boot at the same height, booting the ball into the net but also catching the defender, a goal would stand?

    Because in that situation you put your foot through it.. He didn't know that gormless Longstaff was coming so he cleared it... If he didn't Longstaff would've scored and people would be saying he was stood there like a plonker just put your foot through it.

    It's one of them mate I understand the rule, but I don't agree with it. A pen for that is as ridiculous as when robert was sent of vs arsenal.. Its just a situation that common sense should be allowed imo.

    It’s not ridiculous penalising some gormless defender for swinging his boot head height where someone’s head could be and actually was. Even more so when said defender could have gone for it with his head.
    Common sense says dangerous play should be penalised.
    As you say, if he didn’t do it Longstaff would have scored so he benefited getting away with punishable dangerous play.
    It’s clear whether you agree with it or not. If the rule didn’t exist boots would be flying everywhere and the last thing we need is more head injuries in the game.

    All he does is clear the ball and it's at chest height.

    The games gone mad when people want pens for that.

    Depends which part of the chest/head you are looking at and which part of his foot. Look again at the photo. It’s head height.
    All he does is clear the ball in a way which isn’t allowed. That rule has been there for a long long time. For me I wouldn’t care if the rule said it was only an indirect free kick but it’s still an offence.

    I respect your view

    Hey I respect your view that you want a defender booting that away, we probably all do, it’s just not allowed.
