2017/18 Oumar Niasse

[davek]

The inconsistencies of referees should be brought to the fore and under the microscope with the precedent being made by this. The phrase "Ive seen them given" - the default reasoning of all these pundits, including the "retrospective panel" member Danny Murphy - should therefore be redundant from now on if slight contact equals the Phil Neville definition of a definite dive. Will there now be a glut of defenders registering complaints to examine penalties...I'm not sure. But you can bet your bottom dollar that should a serial easy faller like Young at Man Utd be brought up as often as he should be given his antecedents, the likes of his manager Mourinho will be clamouring for definitive camera evidence to corroborate any ban.

Murphy would be well advised to keep that shiny dome of his well and truly down if Niasse is banned for 4 games.

What winds me up about this is that for years, we've been told "there's contact, he's entitled to go down". Er, no.
Off the top of my head I can remember two incidents with Seamus when the lad has been caught in the box and he's jumped straight back up and tried to play on. What happened then? No penalty because he didn't go down and stay down. Niasse does what hundreds of other players do week in, week out and whack, ban (probably). It stinks, frankly.

Do they only look back on decisions inside the box/penalties given or any dive/foul anywhere on the pitch?

Only incidents that lead to a red card or a penalty.

They will take the soft route and ban him.

Will he receive extra, if appeal fails ?

Oh right. Cheers Mate.

Dunno.

He clearly dived, just like virtually every other striker does, like has been said this hearing will bring into focus the “entitled to go down” argument if nothing else because there was certainly contact. It’s a strange one this as he has clearly committed the offence for which he’s charged as in conning the ref but again there was some kind of contact, personally I’m all in favour of this new charge but I think it should be reserved for where there is clearly no contact whatsoever because then there can be no possible defence.

This kind of thing is only for teams below the top 4 clubs

Football is becoming a joke. TV and the so called pundits have killed the game.

It's amazing that we are all concerned about our sweet prince. a few months back, most wouldn't have cared if he was banged up. and the key thrown away.

There was contact and not just accidental, therefore an offence has been committed by the defender who played the man, just not very well and then whinges about it

That was my view also after seeing the vid.

Top 6 since Liverpool and Arsenal have moved down the pecking order.
