I'm glad Neville got a dig in at Carragher about his defending, loved to block, pull shirts, get anything in the way of shots like hands and arms.

It should be deliberate like it used to be. There is a penalty every game. Ruining the game. Ours this afternoon was worst than that one. Never ever a penalty. What was the defender meant to do. 

Dunno man. Like ours today, the player slowed down (he’s not fully running like Carragher said) so I think his arm doesn’t need to be there. The Man City one just now, surely Gomez can just stand up to that - let the ball hit him, instead he’s turning his back (which a defender shouldn’t do) so wit that his arm is out.

 

I agree it’s stupid now but in both cases their arms prevent the crosses.

The only consistency I ever wanted was from the referee within a single match.  Couldn't care less if the referee in a different game interprets things differently, as long as both teams in the same match are treated the same.

What are you saying? No, you need consistency throughout the league, in every single game.

Roy Keane on Kyle Walker - he’s a car crash, he’s an idiot. 😂😂

[ajthefox]

Because he's up against an idiot

Sky - if you love this match so much, why don't you marry it?

Disagree! What if one of these penalties go against you one match and the same situation in another match but for you and the ref doesn't give it. This is why consistency needs to be every game

[ARTY_FOX]

Gomez was probably just about far enough away to give that. 

[RowlattsFox]

The more I see this one the more I think it's a definite pen, it's just cool to complain about hand balls at the minute. Gary Neville thought the Chelsea one in midweek was but this one isn't? 

 

I don't think you should get a free shot at goal for incidents like that though, I think a indirect free kick is a fairer punishment.

Exactly this, with what we have now it might be harsh but you can be certain it is more consistent. Last season we lost out on so many penalties because of how the ref viewed it... no consistency at all. It is why this has been brought in

And then rolling his eyes and cursing under his breath when Mica Richards said that was perhaps overdoing it

This is where it became hard to see what was deliberate and what was by accident. Its a fine line. This way if it hits the arm its a peno simple. As they said its upto the defender to get his arms out of the way. If you know that if it hits your arms a peno will be given then you know where you stand. No ambiguity 

[ajthefox]

It's a good thing that the refs were consistent, and so long as that continues you can't really complain too much but it's a bloody joke really.

 

Ours was hammered at the lads arm from 2 yards away and on the reverse angle, it looks pretty clear to me Gomez's arms were just moving naturally as they do when you run.

I'm out of reps. But that made me laugh.

Keane would get battered by Richards. 

 

Can't stand the cvnt. 

[UniFox21]

He's given a foul for that?

I take your point, but personally I'd prefer that to a ridiculously harsh rule that it not actually applied uniformly (though it has been today).

We had 2 fullbacks playing centre half?

Martin Tyler calling him Bobby Firmino, you're a broadcaster not his pal you tit.

Imagine if back in the day people had referred to 'Bobby' Mancini, or 'Bobby' Baggio. Urgh.

Has Martin Tyler always been this annoying? I don’t remember him being this bad back in the day.

For about 5 years yes. Should have hung up his mic quite a while ago.
