davieG Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 Every time a ball is hit into the penalty are it's awash with fouls from nudges, pushes, holding obstruction etc. Obstruction by both attackers and defenders is par for the course but nearly all of it is done in a subtle way.

Or played football when someone's nudged you just as you're about to jump or just of the ground? It puts you off balance and gives the player doing it an advantage. I don't necessarily agree with it, but theres a slight push by Slimani to gain an advantage. And can people stop saying 'the game's gone', it's such a stupid little soundbite that doesn't even mean anything. A player is entitled to use his body weight to nudge back and to hold his position, FYI. Slim was stronger and wanted the ball more than Kone.

The Huth handball was not a pen though IMO. Yep thought it was a foul by Slim - clever but he pushes him clearly, not even subtly, his arms were out so I don't think we could have many complaints if it was disallowed.

Darkon84 Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 1 minute ago, Ashley said: The game has gone, too much diving and fouls which are good tackles result in free-kick nowadays. Watching some videos of old school football and they got up and got on with it. None of this fannying around now. His header wasn't a nudge you see it week in week out players putting a arm up like that. There are fouls which are pushes yes, but that last night wasn't anywhere near one Oh ok, sorry, I didn't realise. Perhaps we should all just give up. That's it, the game's gone lads, no more football to be seen or played here! Football was so much better when people could get away with rugby tackling goalkeepers or straight out booting people with little consequence. I don't like the diving etc, but it's tough, that's how it's changed and evolved, so you'd best get used to it I'm afraid. His header was a nudge, take those specs off. You clearly see, from his body, arm and what happens to the defender that the defender has been pushed to put him off balance and away from Slimani, therefore allowing him to get a more free header. As I said before, I'm not complaining, I'm glad we won and he scored, obviously, BUT, you do see those given. That's all it comes down to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davieG Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 You've also go the other side of this when players end up behind another player who's shielding the ball it only takes the slightest of touches to get the ball holder rolling forward to get a free kick. Mahrez is particularly adept at it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Slim did is not using weight to shield a ball or win shoulder to shoulder or hold postion, it's a push in the back Edited 5 April 2017 by Darkon84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of us saw it last night and counted ourselves a tad lucky to get the goal as you see nudges like that flagged up all the time. Obviously, I'm not complaining, but there's definitely something there. Something...but nothing to have a reason to disallow it....Falling back, on your opponent, then springing forward is also a defenders trick...but then again I am not saying he did... Ps... Lets ask our specs expert.... Blue tinted specs....did you see that push....No blind eyes..mind Edited 5 April 2017 by fuchsntf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkon84 Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 Just now, The whole world smiles said: he was very clever just enough to put the player off his jump not quite enough to look like a blatant foul. Slim knew it was a foul you can see him glimpse at the ref before his celebration prayer. Exactly. It's not some huge foul, and the game's not gone. It was clever play from him to gain an advantage. You sometimes see fouls given for it, you sometimes don't. It's not a huge problem like it might look like from some of the replies back and forth I think enough has been said on the matter now anyway.

WiFoxes Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 I kind of thought it could have been a foul, but as I was watching with no sound I made sure to glance at all the Sunderland players. Not one appealed for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudulike Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 Notice in the first half when a Mahrez free-kick was swung over to the back post, Huth heads goalwards and Pickford tips over the bar. Watch the treatment that's given to YB29. Nothing given for that either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fox Covert Posted 5 April 2017 Share Posted 5 April 2017 Anyone been to Sunderland? One of the biggest shitholes on the planet. Who cares whether they like us or not? Walk round the town centre Saturday or Sunday morning and the pavements are densely spattered with puke. Don't quite know what the local pubs do with their beer. The local brewery Vaux actually makes a nice pint, but you won't ever get a decent pint in Sunderland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
