Absolutely. Once Barnes gets his touch the ball is going wide and at pace and there's nothing that can be done to prevent that whether he's clobbered or not. In the Alonso incident there's every chance that if the keeper doesn't take him out that he can get to the ball and get a shot away/set someone up. 

It’s nothing to do with where the balls going, the fact is there goalie only had eyes for Barnes and not the ball. If you watch a reply you’ll see  he’s watching Barnes and it comes down to dangerous play.

That’s the shame of it .....if Barnes wasn’t watching ederson he may have made proper contact with the bloody ball!

My father in law(a big city fan and went to the fa cup finalv man city and a season ticket holder for years) went to the tigers when thing's were bad with hooliganism.My mrs is down welford road now.....people allways say why did we get together,as i have no interest in rugby and her football!

 

No but Rugby Union fans generally seem to think they’re superior to football fans. There seems to have always been a real bitterness towards football from them.

The Barnes thing was never a penalty in a million years.

Attackers get wiped out after getting shots away all the time.

So when the ball is out of play it's acceptable to punch a player in the face then.

 

It's a clear foul and dangerous play, we've had players sent off for less.

Not goalkeepers we haven’t .........

 

it’s a greyish area and one which 99% of the time goes in the keepers favour .....

Nowhere near comparable 😂. Punching someone in the face is violent conduct, trying to make a save is not! It isn’t a penalty, it wasn’t given (rightly) as a penalty. Manchester City were simply better than us. Let’s just focus on Liverpool now, and see if we can get a result :scarf:

Trying to make a save, but missing and fouling a player is actually a penalty.

A foul is a foul no matter what happens to the ball afterwards.

Is he supposed to let Harvey just tap it in then? The pace Barnes is going at, there’s no way he can avoid contact. The only thing that irritates me about that incident is that Barnes didn’t put it away. It’s irrelevant now anyway

He’s supposed to get the ball, what’s the difference between a defender taking a players legs after the ball has gone and the goalkeeper doing it?

There is nothing in the rule book about goalkeepers being exempt from fouls?

Imagine for one second exactly the same situation at the other end but it’s Evans making the same attempt at blocking the ball, is it a penalty?

We got a penalty at Bournemouth last season when a defender wiped out Doherty as he scuffed his shot wide. 

 

They should be given on GKs as well but they invariably don't. Like an unwritten rule or something.

No but in the same way you're not supposed to just let a player dribble past you. If you can't stop them without winning the ball it's a foul.

 

Goalkeepers need to be held accountable, you take someone out without winning the ball it's a foul. You need to judge if you can win the ball cleanly if you can't don't dive in if you do and miss the ball then you risk conceding a foul/penalty.

Didn’t dive in though, came just off his line. If he’s gone towards Barnes and missed the ball that’s different but Barnes has run full throttle towards him and not way he can move out of the way. You have a different opinion which is fair enough. VAR looked at it and deemed the contact as unavoidable, which for me it was.

Man City and Liverpool are all fighting for the title, we're just doing our best to piss off as many pundits as possible by doing well 

Imagine if we beat Liverpool

That Gary Neville clip is another example of the non traditional 'big sides' being ignored/not looked at properly.

 

When talking about 'outstanding' players he mentions Gray.
