Takeover (Covid-19/20)

30 to 50 on 3 maybe 4 cloggers to keep us up is what I'm expecting

 

See my issue with the handball one was this. It's not a penalty if your arms in a natural position is the rule they go off? Since when is an arm on the ground in a natural position?

 

Nah if we replaced 3 or 4 first 11 players we'd be a different force overnight.

 

I think we will be surprised, I also think Staveley was very clever with the "upwards of £250m over 5 years" comment. At no point did she state £50m a year.

 

New spine would do me, but still leaves us weak at LWB and RWB.

 

Yes it could be spend on a big chunk but not in January.

It's just a case of buying 3 or 4 run of the mill players

 

When you’re lying down….

 

That's where I've been going wrong, see I thought only the keeper was allowed to be lying down and handling the ball.

 

It isn’t I guess: but having said that was it a natural position for someone who is sliding and at a split second and it just so happens to hit his hand.

I don’t know how he would have even known it would hit his hand in the situation it was in.

I would have been annoyed if it was against us.

 

But if it was us, a penalty would probably been awarded after a 5 min VAR check
If it balances out over a season we have a
lot coming our way

 

There's no consistency. Brentford got a pen for something we didn't 6months or so earlier. Infact, ours was more of a pen since the Brentford player ducked a bit

 

I don’t think we are getting any decisions off referees. Some of the fouls against ASM early on where definite free kicks and they where ignored.

Our three penalty claims of which I reckon at least one was a penalty.

Why is the bottom 1 a pen but not the top 1? Does that tosspot Peter Walton post on here? Maybe he can explain

 

You could ask CC as well as I seem to recall CC didn’t think the Longstaff incident was a penalty either.

 

He thinks that for 2 reasons

1. He hates Longstaff
2. He's always wrong

 

There is actually an answer to this one. The top one I believe he kicked the ball. The bottom one he didn’t.

Having said that both are penalties.

 

There are a couple of other reasons aswell.

He’s standing on a line.
He closed his eyes so it doesn’t hurt as much.
The referee believed he deserved it for his future **** tash he now has.
It wasn’t Shelvey so it’s his own fault.

 

If it was Joelinton captain wrong would be wanting Tarkowski jailed

 

To be fair if it was Joe he would have missed Tarkowskis foot.

 

Neither should have been
