    It did impede him, it pulled him back, when he's trying to go forward to win the ball.

    its europe they play to a different tune and for once it went our way was how i view it but obviously no way would i have given it <laugh>.

    though having said that i have little sympathy for players whose first thought when defending is to grab the opponents shirt ot his actual body

    This is the rule:

    • Direct Free Kick: Awarded for holding an opponent, which includes shirt pulling that restricts movement.
    It restricted movement. Its a foul by the letter of the law.

    No excuses, just expressing an opinion - it's what the forum is for.

    I love this. The letter of the law rolled out when it benefits. Common sense when it doesn't.

    Good call lol
    But I do think we have been playing better without Salah
    Purely because of the balance
    Won’t repeat what I have already said it a few times

    but good win that tonight against tough opponents

    If you don't stick t
    If you don't stick to the letter of the rules things become ambiguous and then how far do you stray from the rules?
    Everyone knows where they stand when the rules are stuck to and applied.Unfortunately the football bodies don't do consistency very well.

    Good win. Inter have some great players but overall i wasn't that impressed with their team. Hated the head holding again by one of theirs - Thuram? when Jones struck him in the neck/chest.

    The disallowed goal was harsh. Anything that takes 4 minutes to review isn't clear and obvious. Wirtz made the most of the shirt pull but definitely a penalty for me. He was on course to getting the ball back and was impeded. If it happened the other end, I would say the same.

    Don't usually listen to the pundits but Seedorf and Sturridge talked a lot of sense.

    Because it happens about 10 times a game
    I always judge pens on my anger scale had it been awarded against us vs Man Utd
    I would have been fooking livid

    but by todays rules the first one should have stood
    (Although for me it’s handball as it played a part in getting the ball to the goalscorer)

    so those two evened out

    the rest of the baffling decisions did not even out
