Collymore Posted 18 April 2015 Posted 18 April 2015 I think this guy deserves a massive thanks. He could have so easily gone down for a penalty when 1 on 1 with Schmeichel but he stayed on his feet and Kasper pulled of a world class save. Events like this can be the difference between staying up and going down. I think he is man with something to prove and was desperate for goal. It would have been a stonewaller if he'd gone down.

katieakita Posted 18 April 2015 Posted 18 April 2015 Probert would have probably booked him for diving.
Collymore Posted 18 April 2015 Author Posted 18 April 2015 I'd like to see it again, but it certainly looked like his leg was caught and he stumbled on.
VLC86 Posted 18 April 2015 Posted 18 April 2015 100% a penalty. Fair play to him, he did what modern day players wouldn't normally do and tried to score.
notnow john Posted 18 April 2015 Posted 18 April 2015 So a player is fouled stays on his feet and gets nothing! Why don't all players do that?

Have to say my sentiments entirely, thought the ref missing Vardy's stonewall penalty was sh^t today.
ousefox Posted 18 April 2015 Posted 18 April 2015 Yep, I was just waiting for him to go down and a pen to be given.
Benji Posted 18 April 2015 Posted 18 April 2015 It was honest play but I suspect more because he still had a one-on-one chance and his striker instinct will have been to score.
ealingfox Posted 18 April 2015 Posted 18 April 2015 Balanced out by Vardy incident. That was a stonewall penner. Id be thanking Oliveira for being doggo more than anything.
shade Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 I didn't think it was a foul, he stepped over a leg and it didn't impede it, don't think there was any contact at all?
foxfanazer Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 I guarantee Gary Monk would've been furious with him had it been an important game for Swansea. It wasn't as blatant as the Vardy one though
Basingstoke Fox Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 I didn't think it was a foul, he stepped over a leg and it didn't impede it, don't think there was any contact at all? Have to agree with this. After Reading the comments and hearing Iwans opinion, I was expecting to watch MOTD and see a stonealler. Far from it! I think it would've been contentious. For the record, I'm not sure I'd've given one for the challenge on Vardy either.
ScouseFox Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 The Vardy one was not a pen in a million years. Haven't seen a replay yet but that's the first time I've ever been at the ground and thought he tried to cheat. From SK1 it looked like he knocked the ball past his man and purposefully ran into him rather than past him, then took a tumble. I'd have killed someone if a pen was given against us for that. I'll be interested to see it on tele tho if people legit think it's a pen, unless that's just us lot being biased.
StanSP Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 If it wasn't in front of goal without a direct chance of a goal (i.e at the side of the box) I think he would have gone down. As someone said above, the fact he still has a chance to score has kind of forced him to stay on his feet. Thanks to Kasper though cos that was a brilliant save. No-one moaning about the 'starfish' that he does are they now

He dropped his shoulder ran at pace and was completely wiped out by their defender.
Benguin Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 If we're going to tarnish our win by suggesting things that made us lucky we should also add in the unlucky moments. Vardy incident was a red card and penalty any day of the week as well. Cancelled out, we still win, i'm still positive, bore off all you "back down to reality" bumholes trying to ruin my celebratory weekend.
ScouseFox Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 Sorry to say mate but you couldn't be more wromg about this one.

Like I said live in front of me I was sure he'd tried to con the ref by just running straight at the defender. Luckily it's barely even a talking point because the result was right in the end, we won. woooo.

Certainly see them given.Thought the ref had a good game overall
shade Posted 19 April 2015 Posted 19 April 2015 vardy was 50/50 to me, it's one of those grey area ones, there's obviously contact but is it enough to warrant a player falling over/being put off.

No attempt to play the ball whatsoever, pushes him in the back and gets his leg in front of Vardy, and sends him flying. Pretty similar to Bony on Schlupp at Man City which obviously was also a stick-on pen.
