Well that's turned the game on it's head........have to assume the linesman behind the goal actually made a decision as there was no way the ref could see that......
Stupid of Swinstigger to lead with his arm, inviting trouble...... He should have just grappled him to the ground then no penalty......
Well the panel on RTE (Giles, Brady and Dunphy) all said it was a penalty and a very good decision by the ref.......
So he deliberately headed the ball onto his arm? Blatant home decision. Hope the Germans turn their superiority into goals...
They're full of **** then, Tramore. You can half-strangle someone without giving away a penalty, but a plainly accidental handball is a good decision?
Shows the inconsistency of penalty decisions these days........ He lead with his arm so was inviting the problem......
Should an Italian be reffing this game considering his nation were knocked out by the Germans on Saturday?
I remember when I first started following football in the early 60s Giles was a Man Utd winger, he must be in his mid 70s now...
He is, he retires from his panel duties when this comp finishes...... Dunphy is just a cantankerous old soak with too many personal agendas...........Brady is quite good as he's still involved with the game.....
Maybe.... but then again, no. They should stop giving dubious handballs and start penalising WWF holds.
