Angus Scott 459 Posted 27 February Report Share Posted 27 February Such dumb commentator & summariser, neither of them have an idea why the ref gave a free kick after the penalty came back off the post. They don't even know the basic rule that the penalty taker cannot play the ball again if it comes off the post. And these are supposed to be experts. They are an embarressment, talk about stealing a living Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sishades 1,104 Posted 27 February Report Share Posted 27 February We all know that when we go to Brighton, Albion will have 6 chances and score 6 goals and 5 percent possession. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bats8711 501 Posted 27 February Report Share Posted 27 February not watching same commentary - what are they saying where they don't know the rules? @KingsX yes I can see that, but losing a Europa League game knocks our PL top 4 chances down 5%? Seems high to me. But fair enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StanSP 30,283 Posted 27 February Report Share Posted 27 February What have I just watched Clearly blows his whistle. Player entitled to take the free-kick. Scores. Reckon Mason has fvcked up as he thinks Johnstone is in goal then tries to make amends by disallowing the goal. What is VAR getting involved for? What can they even overturn in this respect? Mason has had a mare and maybe time for him to be taken out of the limelight. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bats8711 501 Posted 27 February Report Share Posted 27 February again - have they even said what VAR ruled it out for? The tweet said offside which is what I thought they may be looking at, but they never said. Notice how usually when they say no goal it says offside, handball, foul, etc - but this time it just said No Goal without a reason. And that screenshot said "checking goal" but it usually says for what. It's because they can't do NO GOAL We ****ed Up so they just kinda hide behind it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cos he realises that the goalkeeper is organising his walll but that shouldn’t make any difference in my opinion because that’s the goalkeepers problem - he’s had time to organise it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So it's his mistake which shouldn't have resulted in Brighton losing that goal. Surely he should check for that before blowing the whistle the first time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Surely he should check for that before blowing the whistle the first time. I think he didn’t realise cos he was hidden behind the wall. Idk where he thought he’d gone to mind. Tbh I think it’s the right call. He’s obviously ****ed up (as you’d expect with Mason) and panicked once he realised but he did blow his whistle again so it’s not a goal and in the spirit of the sport it’s right to not allow the goal imo. A ref letting a player have a free shot at a half open goal would be a bit unfair 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bats8711 501 Posted 27 February Report Share Posted 27 February Legit question I've always wondered - why isn't there a consistent set of rules around the taking of free kicks? Why are free kicks in the offensive half all stopped, set up, 10 yards, spray down, wait for the whistle etc. But free kicks in your own half you can take quickly and defending players can hover over the ball? Like even when the taking team is yelling at the ref about a player literally standing on the ball, the ref doesn't really seem to give a shit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Corky 14,496 Posted 27 February Report Share Posted 27 February Brighton should've had six points this week- they've got none. A lot will be made about the disallowed goal but two missed penalties and other great chances squandered. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
winteriscoming 1,231 Posted 27 February Report Share Posted 27 February Brighton can’t criticise too much having missed 2 penalties. Can see them stopping up by finishing between bottom 4-6. Like they do every season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Surely he should check for that before blowing the whistle the first time. If a ref messes up no team should be punished for that. It’s like saying if a ref sends off the wrong player we shouldn’t correct it. Should be the same as when refs get in the way of play. It’s a mistake, call it back. Just say you messed up and everyone should get on with it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
