They've still got Spurs, Wolves, us and Liverpool to play in quick succession as well. In their own hands then. It's irrelevant who they have left to play at this stage as every team has played half the teams in the league and all remaining fixtures are about equal for everyone. With Wolves, Spurs and Leicester to play you could say they can put their destiny in their own hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully there's enough fixtures of everyone around us playing each other enough times that it can limit the damage of us being erratic. We need 4 wins minimum, if we don't get at least 4 then I almost hope we don't qualify as it would be scandalous haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerbyshireFox Posted 7 March 2020 Share Posted 7 March 2020 I love how the pre match handshakes have been stopped but at full time, everyone is shaking hands, congratulating each other, high fives coming off the pitch 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt we may have shot ourselves in the foot last week but thank god we have inconsistent teams chasing us! Please show up against bloody villa. Indeed- **** the Villa and it’s back to 10 points potentially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose thats just the Premier League doing their bit though. Say if they carried on the formalities at the start of the game and players contracted the virus, people would be asking questions. If the players still want to contact each other that way after then so be it. Theyve been told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facecloth Posted 8 March 2020 Share Posted 8 March 2020 (edited) I've only seen the Spurs penalty on the Sky Sport you tube channel on my phone, but surely Mee doesn't actually touch Lamela? They showed one replay on those highlights from a crap angle, but from that it looked like a dive. Edited 8 March 2020 by Facecloth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that myself I posted on the previous page about it, it’s Mee’s reaction Tho that sold it as a penalty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 8 March 2020 Share Posted 8 March 2020 It's a stonewall dive but it's also an awful tackle attempt from Mee and I can see why it'd be given tbh. You can't tackle like that, miss the ball entirely and expect no foul to be given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah certainly thought any contact was minimal, not enough to cause him to go down two steps later, amazed they didn't protest. Also anyone see Liverpool? Mane was tackled outside the penalty area took three to four strides then threw himself to the floor? surely the clearest case of simulation? he also "caught" the ball with both hands over his head earlier in the game and didn't receive a yellow card? When you look at what Hamza was sent off for and see those two incidents it make no sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messerschmitt Posted 8 March 2020 Share Posted 8 March 2020 14 hours ago, st albans fox said: not unless the defender cleared it and kel then had to retrieve possession .... if it’s just a tit tat between two players fighting for the ball and it touches the attackers arm then a goal that immediately follows is ruled out ..... I think it’s not too complicated to work out if arm contact is close enough to a goal being scored ........ I havent seen one ruled out this season that was incorrect within the rules but there have been a couple that even VAR missed (Newcastle and soton beneficiary’s I recall) Ok, thanks, that helps a bit, are you a referee by any chance?

Very slightly but once contact is made on a player like that he'll always go down as opposed to carry on and try to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
