Decisions Against us

[LocalNative]

It's where the infringement ends, not starts. It was a 50 50 call that went against us.

I've rarely if ever seen it given the other way, rightly or wrongly.

If a defender starts holding an attacker outside the penalty area and continues holding inside the penalty area, the referee must award a penalty kick.

I've rarely if ever seen it given the other way, rightly or wrongly.

There's not much consistency on it, but the rule is fairly clear. If there is a hold on a player and it continues up to and beyond the 18 yard line, it should be a penalty.

It was definitely a foul, and it looks like he was still holding Danjuma beyond the line. One of those calls you either get or don't get, and usually don't when struggling down the bottom.

The worst decision we got this year was the non-foul on the keeper against Fulham

I was surprised this was the rule tbh as decisions are always given where contact was initiated. Have been for as long as I can remember.

I'm not blaming refs for us being rubbish. I absolutely believe in big team bias, but decisions is way down the list of reasons why we are where we are.

The only one I really didn't understand this season was that call for a foul on the keeper against Fulham. That was a nonsense, and going 1 up there makes a huge difference.

That was a terrible bit of refereeing. But I looked at it closely and Keane was offside, so would have been disallowed.

Don't think it was clear on the offside tbh. There was a wider angle that showed another defender a bit deeper - it would have been really close.

Obviously a still frame doesn't tell us for sure, but there are two defenders beyond the play there when it fell to Keane, and it wasn't a long time after it came off Tarkowski. So the offside was definitely close.

Where did all the extra time come from ? that puzzles me.

It’s definitely close but looked marginally offside to me. Think your freeze frame is a split second too late there, with Keane about to strike the ball.

But we never got a chance to test that as, in my opinion, he incorrectly awarded a free kick for a foul on the keeper

Oh was an awful decision for sure.

I always thought it

I always thought it was where the 1st foul took place. But the rule is very clear that this isn’t the case. The commentator on tv also said the first foul is outside the box, so it’s a free kick. You’d think the referee and VAR would know the correct rules, but apparently they didn’t either!
