Simultaneous just means happening at the same time. People can simultaneously run in opposite directions In the case of people colliding when they are both heading towards the ball, if an act is careless, then this is punishable by way of a direct free kick. But you are absolutely right that determi...

Indeed. It's a fair proposition But none of those who disagree with me have managed to frame any of their argument within the rules. I'll happily change my opinion. But to do so without any reasonable argument would be nonsensical. And so far, the only arguments against have definitively ignored any...

I'd wager a similar proportion (at least) of the football watching public don't actually know the rules of the game.

But ignorance doesn't stop you from having an opinion. Just from having a valid opinion

Remember, Foster wasn't anywhere near Championship level 6 months ago. And now could end up being our POTY

There's a player in Tresor, somewhere. Seems idiotic writing him off at this stage

Roosterbooster

He's always running in to the box towards goal then just turns his back that isn't a foul. The rules must be wrong then "Impeding the progress of an opponent means moving into the opponent’s path to obstruct, block, slow down or force a change of direction when the ball is not within playing distan...

Trafford is only about 2 yds away from where Morris heads it before he makes contact with Adebayo. At this point, the ball isn't even in the shot. And Morris hasnt even jumped. It's also irrelevant according to the rules, but even so. Based on this, its extremely unlikely Trafford wouldn't be in the...

Whether he new where the other player was or not is irrelevant. I view it as an accidental collision so play on. An accidental collision can still be a foul if you impede the player, as it can be deemed careless Have a look at the actual rules. Don't use opinion, or make anything up. Use only the r...

Here are the rules, just for clarity. Seems most people don't know them Direct free kick A direct free kick is awarded if a player commits any of the following offences against an opponent in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force: •charges •jumps at •ki...

It’s a simple fact that if your looking at where the ball is you can’t be looking at another player at the same time. Why is this relevant? And also its untrue. If a player and the ball are in the same field of view then it's obviously untrue. But you can still know where a player probably is even ...

Both Trafford and the Luton player were both watching the ball and there for no foul was committed.

I've checked the rules. And this is not in them. Why do people keep making things up?

Roosterbooster

It is quite phenomenal just how many people skew the context, manipulate the events, and actually describe a different scenario, just to try and justify an opinion, rather than observe and assess, before then formulating an opinion And no logic, rationale, or even presentation of fact will change th...

I'm not sure how anyone watches that and thinks it's not a foul. It's not even debatable. Just the basic application of the laws of the game is required. Somehow, the ref, VAR and Webb have all ignored them, and created a law that doesn't even exist to allow the goal The AVAR spells out exactly why ...

Striker stands his ground

Then moves

And deliberately obstructs

I'm not even sure how you argue your point without flinching. He moves away from the ball directly into Trafford. What else is he trying to achieve with that movement? Seriously.....,?

Roosterbooster

It’s not really a clear and obvious error by the ref to give the goal as the keeper isn’t getting near the cross? Also we were/are gash. 3 things 1. It doesn't actually matter if Trafford is getting near the ball. A foul is a foul anywhere on the pitch, proximity to to the ball being irrelevant 2. ...

If referees had made all decisions correct this season, we would have had (I reckon) 18 points. We'll have 2 more for the goal disallowed at Forest, 1 for the last minute penalty not given at Bournemouth, 1 for the last minute penalty given at Villa, and 2 tonight. Plus the 12 that we have earned, ...

It's a definite foul. 100%. The more angles they showed, the more obvious it was

Not sure
but he's not very good (and that's putting it politely)

How can you possibly know for sure? He's barely played

He's probably our fastest player though and I'd love him to be on with us defending a lead

Roosterbooster

If the Roberts rumours are true, then we must have someone lined up.

If he goes, we have 1 RB, 1 LB, 3 fit CBs (1 of which is out of favour, and one who had barely played a game)

We'd need a RB and LB as a minimum I'd say

You could potentially turn that on it’s head & ask every club throughout the PL & guaranteed they’d all state perceived injustices going against them.

You could. But I don't think we've won any points this season due to any borderline or generous refereeing/var decisions

There’s also the last minute handball at Bournemouth that was given as a goal kick

I can forgive the ref for that. Its clear on video but not in real time

I think we have potentially lost:

1pt v Man U
3pts v Palace
1pt v Bournemouth
1pt v West Ham
1pt v Villa
2pts v Forest

Any more?

probably the first time that onfield reffing has directly led to us missing out on points.

Fair enough if you think that contact was sufficient enough to knock Duran off balance. I definitely don’t. You only have to look at how his legs move to know the contact doesn't affect him. The wrong leg moves. There's absolutely no way the contact causes any notable effect on his motion. But he f...

I think you could see how referees think by Mike Dean's reaction on Sky. "It's a penalty, he felt a touch and went down, like a good striker". Since when has any 'touch' been a foul? Lyle Foster felt a big touch and went down..... Neither were penalties. But obviously one was given. No-one's surpri...

Interesting you say that, all the passing & heat maps from that game show Brownhill as the furthest forward of the 3. Maybe. But I don't think necessarily reflects things accurately. Brownhill does alot of the ball work when we are around the box, so will have high percentage passes on this area, e...

Reckon if he's fit I'd play Ramsey off Foster and Odobert one side and JBG the other.

I thought he was more of a 10 than an 8...

If we line up with Tresor, Amdouni, and Odobert away at Villa we will deserve everything we get.

At the very least, Gudmundsson should come in for Tresor.

If we didn't have so many CBs already, I'd say Dier would be an excellent short term acquisition given his versatility. But he isn't going to play there for us. And he doesn't have the legs like Brownhill to replace him. So you'd have to use him as a 3 alongside Brownhill and Berge. And then that le...
