If it had been an equivalent situation but with Joao Pedro being caught with a foot there wouldn’t even be a question. If we’re only looking for ‘contact’ with feet then it has to be the same with headers. Unfortunate, unintended - but a pen.
As blatant a penalty as you will ever see. The guy won the ball, went to turn and then was literally headbutted to the floor.
Don’t reckon the hedbut would’ve knocked you or me over mind! But it is a definite foul I agree. Not as bad as any of the ones we didn’t get v stoke though!! What I can’t work out is when do they invoke the concussion protocol? If the head clash was enough to make him roll around like that, how come he was allowed to take the penalty and didn’t have to be checked?
Not see the Dan Burn one in the first half? He was already on a yellow. Stopped a Spurs counter when the ball hit his arm away from his body but the ref bottles showing him what should have been a second yellow.
They always make a meal of it don’t they. Mayenda should be watching but I’ve got to respect that kid. Never goes down when he so easily could. Yeah Stoke was a fookin joke.
It’s crazy. They appear to get so much going for them! I guarantee if someone scores a goal like theirs against them it’s a conspiracy!
Just seen the bottom bit. That’s a good spot. I never noticed that. Yeah he went down holding his head, should have been fully checked over first.
I’ve said that a few times. This season they’re getting every big decision falling in their favour. It’s almost like the officials might be slipped some brown envelopes. I really mean that. Some decisions this season have literally had me belly laughing because they’ve been too obvious.
The standard up there is absolutely shocking 35 y/o Gayle and 31 y/o Boyle as a strike partnership, man
