Pardon? Either way? I think you said 2 prem refs and a lino did not think it was a foul on the keeper. How could it have been given either way?
I cant see Philogene being rushed back starting immediately, more likely some 30 minutes before he's risked starting.
I appreciate my view on it may not match others, but to call it/compare it to common assault is way over the top and needlessly dramatic. He's not walked up to him on the street and punched him etc, it's 2 players going for a ball that unfortunately for us their keeper got to first and won, it's obviously up for debate if it was won fairly. But common assault...... Just no
Once scored two near post headers from corners .Next time I went for one keeper hit me in the kidneys both knees . Couldn’t walk back to my car got taken to infirmary then spent a week in Sutton bleeding from my kidney. Damaged the nerves in an area the size of my hand which took a couple of years to repair ! Took me about a month to actually play again - so if he’d hit the short arse lower what’s the verdict ? It was dangerous . Remember the silly sending off at Millwall the other year when our forwrd had no idea the sender was coming for the ball and he caught the blokes head - how do you balance the two decisions?
My view is the same, what happened to you and any injury is extremely unfortunate. But I've never walked onto a pitch not being prepared to put myself in a position where I may come off injured, in pain or anything like that. Challenges like this will always bring a wild range of different views, always have and always will
I agree if it was a defender jumping like that it would, but I'm also not sure a defender would ever jump in the same way Gunn did, he's been taught to claim balls like that daily for many many years and will have just been his natural reaction to winning the ball in that situation.....again is that right or wrong? That's obviously up for debate
Nothing wrong with questioning his durability, folk calling him soft as **** is a bit ott, no? Of those 27 games, how many did he start and not complete? Did he not complete due to injury or tactical substitution? How many was he subbed on and then completed? Need the full picture if some sort of assessment is to be made.
If you've got blokes who take a fortnight off with a cold they probably need a good talking to, if they nearly faint at work they probably need sending home!
Not nitpicking but ‘unfortunate ‘ had nothing to do with it , he didn’t like my success and decided to end it , if I’ve got my back to him and just flicking the header on to score he only has to wait and jump arms up I guess . He used the knees up action because as you say it’s a ‘ standard’ goalie action . Refs need to know when and where it’s ok that’s all . Not labouring it as we could be here all night , you know how it goes on here sometimes - anyway who are we getting ? LOL
Sorry, but on the replay Gunn sees Connolly coming, he is out of his box, he jumps like a keeper does expecting to get clattered knees up and trying to protect, but the key is, he is out of his box, different circumstances apply, I'm not against physical contact but that was reckless and endangered a player. If an outfield player does that it's a straight red, once he leaves his box Gunn becomes an outfield.player, simples for.me.
Sorry, didn't mean to play it down as I've no doubt that's a painful one, but it's unfortunate he connected to you in just the right place at the right time, slightly different impact point and it's not the outcome you got. I was a horrible bastard when playing and learnt that very quickly from training with the first team of a division 3 team at the age of 14. I had to learn to take it ( and give it ) or you didn't survive. It's 100% a different game these days though, I understand that
If a keeper sees a player coming, why wouldn't he do that to protect himself expecting the worse... Connolly could have done the same but chose not to. As for it being outside the box, it's an extremely grey area unfortunately when it comes to keepers
True, but when I arrived I ordered two pints for myself. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Cityzen thought that, then I pointed out the abv of the gravy he drinks compared to my drink. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
