... we don't do 'excess' possession ... we leave that to less creatively dynamic teams ... a couple spring to mind
If he ever stops laughing at his own jokes, he might get around to doing some ****ing work!
Actually, that's a very interesting still pic, as it shows the defender looking directly at the ball, not at Rose.

It defo wasn't a penalty 
i do hope Leicester gain revenge of sorts by getting a draw in PL match tomorrow and by beating Spurs in the FA Cup replay - hopefully by scoring a winner from Vardy who is clearly miles offside or even better from a dodgy penalty from an obvious dive
happy to discuss

I'm trying to be objective here, I've looked at it several times now, and I still can't determine the player's intent. I guess only he knows what was in his head.
I can honestly see why it was given though. One of those that can go either way depending on the ref.

... at last some sense ... but think about the intent like this ... seconds to go ... no 'immediate' danger (i.e players are more or less level tussling for the ball - Dyer is very quick and would think he could get a block in if Rose looks to cross or shoot) ... why on earth would he deliberately handball it?
... and his incredulous reaction when it is given is the best indication of his intent ... for me.
I don't think player's necessarily think like that. It's like committing a crime, if you knew you were going to get caught and punished, you wouldn't do it. But, just like Dyer, if you think there's a reasonable chance you will get away with it, you go ahead and do it.
I suppose, in short, IF that was his intent, he hoped the ref wouldn't spot it.
... there is merit in your logic but ... he had no time to think about doing it and getting away with it - he merely spins when Rose dinks it outside ... this is the point where we will agree to disagree ... I don't think he has any idea where the ball is, his only intent is to stop Rose going past him ... as he spins to do that the ball inadvertently (and unfortuneately for us) hits his hand ...
Possibly, or maybe he thought that as Rose's body was in front of the ball ( from the ref's point of view) he would just give it a little nudge away!
Again, only he knows what intent there was, if any.
Yeah but if you look at that picture a page or two back you can see Dyer has his eyebrow slightly raised as if to say 'Yes! I got away with it'
Penalty all day long.
Penalty all day long.
That video was so clearly wrong that the user took it down!
What does the speed of the game have to do with anything? He's clearly looking at the ball. Did the speed make it invisible?
.. gonna get awfully cold in that shadow ... something tells me that you are going to be there for a very long time ... although you'll no doubt convince yourselves that it's just a passing cloud rather than a total eclipse
He sees where the ball is, flicks out his arm at it and pushes it away.
All of your tears won't wash that away, I'm afraid.

.. nothing at all... that's why no player in the history of football has ever been hit by the ball when not expecting it
... you are 'clearly' the dumbest poster I've come across on these boards - congratulations - no question of your being overshadowed on that front at least In terms of disproving your laest masterpiece - for many years Littlewoods ran a 'Spot The Ball' coupon which was a bugger to try and win ... because no matter where you thought the players were looking ... the ball was inevitably travelling faster than the players eyes could follow or at least focus on ... in simple terms - and as your nemesis for the last couple of decades would say "I did not see it..."
... Dyer's eyes being aligned with where the ball is in a single frame photo from a high-speed shuttered camera proves nothing other than that you are 'clearly' a simpleton if you really believe it proves he had all the time in the world to decide "hmmm punching that ball seems a good idea"
..Keep'em coming Sheldon!
If you're going to accuse somebody of being stupid, then you might not want to post like a twelve-year-old girl on Twitter... nothing at all... that's why no player in the history of football has ever been hit by the ball when not expecting it

Random, rambling gibberish with no sentence structure and endless smileys? ****ing genius!
By your dopey standards, nobody's ever committed a handball, as it's a bad idea. What a stupid claim.
He thought Rose was going to go past him again, as he had all day long, so he made a poor decision in an instant and it cost you.
Get over it.
... blimey ...Nathan Dyer has now turned into Professor Moriarty with a cunningly devious plan
... and there was me thinking he merely spun round to try and get a block in on any shot or cross that Rose might be going to attempt ...... why is it then Sherlock, that your view only seems to be held by a scant (no pun intented) minority ...composed almost entirely of Spurs fans?
... save me ... I'm in a battle of wits with a man (benefit given) who's unarmed
Where's the devious plan in a man making a poor reaction in an instant?... blimey ...Nathan Dyer has now turned into Professor Moriarty with a cunningly devious plan

That might sound like planning to you, as you're a little deficient, but it doesn't to the rest of us.
Appealing to a bunch of people's opinions doesn't make you right. The facts make me right.
Lots of people thought that Leicester were going to get relegated this season. That didn't make it happen, did it?
They'll all have to wait until next season, instead.
OK then, you've been right all along, I'll leave it there ... good luck in the Champions League against Fiorentina ... and in any other endeavour in your little Minecraft world ...
I'm glad that you've seen the light. Good luck in the Championship against Fulham.
It's premature to wish you luck for something in the future? That explains your "instant is a long time to plan" thinking earlier.... just knew you you'd be premature ... priceless
Quite amusing to watch you trying to mock a team for playing someone in Europe, though.
We had to win some games to get there. You know, that thing that you've never, ever done in any European competition.
..no hard feelings Polly, put the kettle on .. speak later ..got some stuff to do first ..
