Stinkenzo Posted 2 February 2020 Share Posted 2 February 2020 (edited) Should be a penalty but i've always felt with those sort of situations that Sterling was never going to get the ball after kicking it anyway. Think it's one of those classic: not in the area = foul, in the area: no foul Edited 2 February 2020 by Walkers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't have it both ways. It doesn't *have* to be one or the other though, it's still a contact sport. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayfox Posted 2 February 2020 Share Posted 2 February 2020 Fascinating game to watch. But I'm staggered they haven't given the 2nd one. If loris gets there 1st the ball comes back into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in this situation he's either been brought down by Lloris or Sterling's dived, there is no other explanation. For me Sterling's been brought down, as Bayfox says if Lloris get there first the ball doesn't go out for a corner, unless it bounced back of Sterling and I'd say replays show Sterling kicked the ball.

TheUltimateWinner Posted 2 February 2020 Share Posted 2 February 2020 (edited) I ****ing hate it when thick as pigshit pundits say someone isn’t that type of player.

Stinkenzo Posted 2 February 2020 Share Posted 2 February 2020 Can't wait for Man City to score a hat-trick of penalties in a few weeks against us, probably all given on soft handballs blasted at Soyuncu from 2 yards away with his hands down by his side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's never going back in the box, like the bunny. But it really is the cancer of football. Absolutely no doubt football games will eventually take as long as NFL in the next few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammo Posted 2 February 2020 Share Posted 2 February 2020 Sterling is only still on the field because of who he is (his current ‘Raheem can do no wrong’ media profile has influenced Dean and the VAR big time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Tielemans challenge against Bournemouth (that they said was erroneously reviewed by VAR) should have been a red, then that Sterling challenge should be too.
