SouthStandUpperTier Posted 1 December 2019 Posted 1 December 2019 Thick as pigshit footballers. Stay out of the penalty box.
UniFox21 Posted 1 December 2019 Posted 1 December 2019 Why was that a retake? Did the Norwich player intervene and clear the ball? If not, then why was it retaken?

Like with us their player moved into the box before the ball was kicked. You won’t get away with it with VAR 1

trabuch Posted 1 December 2019 Posted 1 December 2019 You would have thought that after our retake at Brighton, there would be strict instructions not to encroach.

I assume that’s the important factor - arsenal player also encroached but didn’t get involved in clearing the rebound - the Norwich player who cleared had gained an unfair advantage by encroaching and there were still two Norwich players encroaching on the retake ..... footballer stereotypes !!!!

If a defending player encroaches and the penalty isn't scored, it's a retake. VAR was able to intervene because the player who cleared the ball was encroaching Edited 1 December 2019 by Guest

We got to the ball first against Brighton, but they encroached too so we got a retake. But unfair really. Defending team get punished even if the attacking team benefits
Gerard Posted 1 December 2019 Posted 1 December 2019 I'd be fuming if we gave away a penalty and someone encroached. With VAR it's just not worth stealing a yard anymore. Otherwise it'll keep getting taken until the opponents score.
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 1 December 2019 Posted 1 December 2019 Alan Smith doesn't even attempt to be neutral when he's commentating on Arsenal. 2 1

cstrafe Posted 1 December 2019 Posted 1 December 2019 (edited) I know Leicester benefited from pretty much the same exact scenario last weekend, but I can't help but feel disappointed with VAR due to how petty it is. When they brought it to PL, I was not thinking that it'd be used to disallow goals due to an unintentional hand ball in the build up play 30 seconds before the actual goal was scored. Or, retaking a penalty due to a defender stepping into the area a fraction of a second too early. It's almost as if they are looking for reasons to take away big moments from the game. edit: actually, the Vardy penalty situation was different but Maddison gets the goal after Brighton encroachment. For FPL reasons, I liked the retake lol, but Maddison getting the rebound and the goal would just overrule encroachment in my opinion. Edited 1 December 2019 by cstrafe

Whatever happens the attacking team get another chance. Surely if the attacking team encroach and gain from it they lose the penalty.

Ah I get your thinking, the penalty gets retaken who ever causes the encroachment, if we are going to start being so harsh then yes that should be looked at I agree.
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 1 December 2019 Posted 1 December 2019 3 minutes stoppage time? Pull the other one. Took about 5 minutes to take the penalty.
cstrafe Posted 1 December 2019 Posted 1 December 2019 As I said, the issues go much deeper than "Emery doesn't know his best 11".
MC Prussian Posted 1 December 2019 Posted 1 December 2019 One can laugh at Arsenal's style of "defending", but please tell me what they have to offer in midfield...
