How is that not a foul, but a tap on Alison’s shoulder blade was a few weeks ago

 

[Nymzee]

This serves teams right for sitting back on a lead and allowing players to cross the ball in endlessly.

Dunno striker only had eyes for the keeper and backed into him made no attempt to play the ball foul for me.

I’d be utterly fuming as a Burnley fan TBH. Another embarrassing case of inconsistency

 

[marsh]

Annoying. Would rather Burnley had won

I mean its open season to block keepers now if thats the standard.

That centre forward needs releasing if he’s actually trying to play the ball there, he missed the flight by 5 yards.

In reality it’s one of the most obvious cases of obstruction you’ll see.

Not sure how that wasn’t a foul. He literally steps towards the goal with the intention of hip checking him. If that was us this place would burst into flames.

That’s the point isn’t it; not just keepers either, 3 blockers at every attacking free kick & corner to leave players free

 

[Bwana]

Seriously. That was a goal.

Leno hitting Tarkowsky with the instrument....

Seriously rollin' on the floor.

 

[johnjoeefc]

It was a foul but then it wasn't clear and obvious enough to overturn if that makes sense

It was us, against Luton only with less contact and it was disallowed and we went on to lose the game.

 

[Nymzee]

No foul for me whatsoever.

It makes sense in the instance but what "clear and obvious" means seems to vary widely from instance to instance.

In other news, I'm pleased to see Everton still above the relegation zone. Everton, Everton!
