2017/18 Oumar Niasse

Our Prince will be back for the derby and slot a hattrick against the rs. Such a shame we'll concede around 10 goals in return

 

[tim cahill]

Yeah, if the ref did a better job, it's just a yellow and job done? But because the ref was incompetent, it's a 2 match ban?

It shouldn’t even be a yellow though.

 

[Mozza1987]

They cant take away the goal, the punishment must fit the crime.

I get what you're saying but if the ref thinks when it happens dive then he just gets a yellow and nothing else comes from it so I can't see how you can go from that to a 2 match ban myself. That only works if they say if you try to dive to win a foul then it's a red card then it works. Currently it makes no sense.

Well 1 is an attempt to deceive, the other is a successful deception, just like attempted murder and a successful murder.

We all knew that this would be a given because of the publicity. However it does open gates for other decisions to be challenged and how much contact is to be allowed in the future.

 

[TommyDavo]

Even if you think it was a dive then a 2 match ban is a joke when if the ref thinks it is a dive at the time he just gets a yellow. How is this right? Also many worse dives this season than this which didn't get anything.

This is simply a layer of protection for the match official. Can you imagine if he calls it wrong for one of the big boys and not only fails to award a penalty but also sends their man off then MOTD proves it actually wasn’t a dive

Another first for us admittedly an unwanted one !!

Only successful though because they are saying the ref can't do his job properly. The rule should be if you are caught diving then you get a red card then it works and makes sense otherwise it's a joke.

Andy Carroll buts his elbow into a defenders face for the umpteen time this season, nothing happens some cry arse RS grass who admitted he touched him and was at fault for the pen and the second goal started bitching to cover up his poor performance, and Oumar gets a ban typical

That is no different to a player getting sent off for a foul when it wasn't a red, it happens sometimes. The red card would just be changed. At least this way the ban afterwards would make sense if the ref didn't call it a dive at the time when it was.

 

[Khalekan]

The ref on the day had more common sense than a panel of people who would overwhelmingly have been influenced by the cacophony of outrage from 'experts' like Shearer, Neville etc etc.

It's a disaster that'll be shelved very quickly.

Excellent point, Dave.

For this Star Chamber to work correctly, they would need to sit immediately the game was over and deliberate.

That way they would not have time to have their opinion colored by the likes of Neville

 

[TommyDavo]

Hazard, who I think is usually the most “fouled” player in the premier hits the deck every time an opposition players arm comes across him and Sanchez is the same in all areas of the pitch, resulting in numerous pressure inducing free-kicks. That surely now has to be looked at, as the contact is invariably minimal.

 

[TheBigIguana]

If I ran the club media I'd put out a video every week from now on of all the dives that go unpunished every week. Put the hypocrisy of this whole thing on full display

The free kick that Arsenal scored from was given for Sanchez (the Spurs one) putting his arm across Alexis just like Dann did to Oumar. But that was ok

I think they've made things more difficult for the ref. This referee was right on the spot and IMO called it correctly . The FA have just called him a blind idiot !........Will a penalty ever be awarded again ??
