Only I never said the penalty was spawny though, but don’t let facts get in the way bro.

So just to clarify then, you do agree it was penalty, by handball, that stopped a goalscoring opportunity? Don't wish to put words in your mouth, but that is right, isn't it? :emoticon-0112-wonde

Was a penalty because the arm prevented the ball going into the net ... should not have been a red because there was deflection from his leg and (In real time) little chance that he could have got his arm out of the way (and it was not at an unnatural angle ... yellow.

Good game ... both teams will contest the title IMHO (along with Citeh and, potentially United, if the sum of the quality components can be blended into an effective team).

Still not so sure on us tbh think we will need a lot of luck in terms of injuries
I am still not sold on Thiago
Loved the idea of him on paper but he does not look like he is gelling for whatever reason

I think the rules should be changed to make it more fun, instead of;

Red
Penalty
Suspension

The opposing Captain gets to chose whether they want to take penalty or reduce the offending team down to 10 men. Only one punishment not two. The suspension rules still apply if they choose to send the man off, they don't if they choose to take the penalty. Yellow card rules remain unchanged.

Seems fair to me. :bandit:

I like the fact that you appear to be the first one to state that the rules need to be changed, as opposed to trying to completely re-interpret the existing rules to fit your agenda. :emoticon-0148-yes:

Nah, it hit his leg first.

So, if he'd headed it against the post he has the right to then punch it off the line? Despite Hasslebank's bizarre insistance that if you stand on one leg, it's a natural position to sweep your arm against your midriff, only the most one-eyed halfwit would claim he didn't move his arm to stop the ball rolling across him and into the goal. So that appears to be you and Jimmy.

I've never liked the current rules. I just think it's crazy that one offence results in three punishments, regardless of who is playing. I think there should only be one punishment on the pitch. Suspensions is a bit different, because it's needed to control repeat offenders over the course of a season. However, there's nothing to say suspension rules can't be modified either.

Before the change that Windy highlighted to me yesterday, I can remember our keeper getting sent off in a game, and conceding the penalty, followed by suspension. I just think it's bonkers, why are we punishing players twice on the pitch for one offence, sometimes fate plays against you, and whether the player intended to or not handball yesterday, there was no way he was going to avoid it, so the outcome was always going to be the same under the current rules.

Get back to me at the end of the season, your manager has good form for being a moaning **** when things don't go his way.

Tbf they all do
That’s sort of what I was asking
When I think about it they nearly all have

is there one who hasn’t ?
I think it massively depends on the press

when Klopp first came in there was a press love in but then it gets old and they start to twist comments and oppo fans just jump on it and love it
That could be any team
But I genuinely cannot think of a gaffa who didn’t moan - even your Farke’s and Warnocks
Hell - even Potter has had a few whinges
Howe did too ?
There must be one
