He's rubbish, an absolute liability and he should be nowhere near the team, but I can't blame him for the penalty today. Blame a stupid rule and a poor referee. Young was a much bigger problem today.

Thing is Windy, he's a professional footballer, irrespective of the rule being stupid or not, it's his job to know the rules and to abide by them. Both he and Young are massive problems. Dyche is arguably an even bigger problem for allowing either of them to play.

I don't disagree that he's a massive problem. He should be nowhere near the team. However, this idea that players on the move can have their hands down by their sides like they're Michael Flatley is a complete nonsense. Imagine every defender running alongside a forward without moving their hands from their bodies, whilst the players with the ball can run how they please. The defender would be yards behind in seconds.

Keane's a donkey, he's cost us loads of games, he'll cost us more because Dyche keeps giving him "time on the grass", but he wasn't at fault for that one today. Young cost us the game (although we'd have found another way to lose it, I'm sure).

I agree with this generally, but other defenders in Keane's position today would have had their arms either clamped to their side or behind their back to avoid giving away a penalty.

He didn't just have his hand away from his body Windy, he had it straight out at 90°, it was an absolutely stupid piece of play. I agree with you on Young by the way, I bemoan his selection every week when I see the team selection. More than that though, I am dumbfounded that Dyche keeps trying to get both of them in the team.

Hows he "not at fault", he gave them a free goal and let the team and fans down.
 

My 9 yo daughter plays at cb for her Saturday league team and she knows she can’t have her arms in that position in the box. She’s only been playing for 6 months, and she’sa better cb than this clown.

It’s actually laughable that a professional footballer has gave another penalty away so stupidly, in more or less identical circumstances to the last one.

Watching it then again on motd. Why the fck has he got his arm out so far. So hard to make a case for him. Frustrating clumsy player.

That video of him pointing at his arm to show there wasn't a handball in a similar situation last season shows his grasp of the rules of the game

I actually walked out the bar I was in when saw the replay. Didn't even wait for the VAR decision
 
Never mind that he was on the pitch, he shouldn’t have been in the squad. In fact, he shouldn’t have been in the stadium. Come to think of it he shouldn’t have been in the city. He shouldn’t be in the country.

If she had a close call with the arm by her side when the ball struck it...she would learn to keep her arms by her sides and she would be fine.

She wouldnt be throwing an arm in the air a few mins later.
