Re: Keith Hackett in DT
A good post, thanks.
Would agree with everything that Hackett writes about the 2 penalties and severe punishment for Wenger.

Ouch! Quite a damning read...
The FA will not like that. Hopefully it will spur them into action.

Graham Poll says much the same in the Daily Mail - while adding just how fortunate Arsenal have been with dodgy decisions this season

Re: Keith Hackett in DT
Wenger effectively refused to be sent off and stayed in tunnel. Points deduction is the only thing that will hurt Wenger and Arsenal. Just like we got in the 98th minute. Wonder what Sean would get for same offence ?

I just hope that the 2x 1 point from each match that we have been robbed of by Arsenal, do not matter at the end of the season.

Re: Keith Hackett in DT
Wenger then stated after the match that Ben Mee should have had a red card! Their player was not going for goal and there were other defenders in the middle - what is he on? Of course he believes Coquelin who lied about kicking Barnes. He is another spoiled and arrogant manager who unfortunately are fawned upon by the media because they make good copy. They are ruining the game and the PL or FA should sort them out.
Re: Keith Hackett in DT
I noticed Martin Keown added balance to the debate on MOTD when he said about the obvious penalty the referee missed when Gray tripped Mustafi, so it kinda evened itself out despite the horrible way it came. I raised the same point and was shut down immediately on here with people bringing my family into it.

If Martin Keown, in his day, had been penalised for the Gray/Mustafi minimum contact the referee would have been surrounded by 11 Arsenal players doing their pieces.KRBFC wrote:I noticed Martin Keown added balance to the debate on MOTD when he said about the obvious penalty the referee missed when Gray tripped Mustafi, so it kinda evened itself out despite the horrible way it came.

If you are going to call that contact a deliberate foul then we may as well call time on football as a contact sport.
ANyone who has played the game at a decent level and/or officiated knows that there are many times when accidental contact is made and that is exactly what should be considered. Unfortunately, with these 'knowledgeable pundits' spouting rubbish these days about there being contact so he is entitled to go down, fans etc. are being brainwashed into a very poor interpretation of TLOG --which many pundits don't know anyway.
Re: Keith Hackett in DT
whether it's a deliberate foul or an accidental foul it doesn't matter, if you go for the ball (good intention) and miss the ball while clipping the man, it's a foul anywhere on the pitch. Deliberate or accidental has no relevance apart from whether or not it's worthy of a card. Like the penalty we received, was it a deliberate foul by Coquelin? no it wasn't, he went for the ball and didn't know the man was there, he missed the ball and took the man, easy penalty to give but it certainly wasn't a ''deliberate foul''Ashingtonclaret46 wrote:If Martin Keown, in his day, had been penalised for the Gray/Mustafi minimum contact the referee would have been surrounded by 11 Arsenal players doing their pieces.

Re: Keith Hackett in DT
For gods sake take off your clarets glasses. Of course it should have been given as a penalty. I thought it was at full speed and def on replay. All the other decisions were correct with the notable exception of not flagging offside as the cross came in which given the linesman position is inexplicable.Ashingtonclaret46 wrote:If Martin Keown, in his day, had been penalised for the Gray/Mustafi minimum contact the referee would have been surrounded by 11 Arsenal players doing their pieces.

Re: Keith Hackett in DT
I personally think as a referee that grays WAS a penalty and the arsenal one was NOT.
Grays was a clumsy tackle. But still a foul.
Arsenals actual pen WAS offside. Therefore no pen as the first offence was offside.
Burnleys award was another clumsy challenge and was clearly a foul.

Re: Keith Hackett in DT
There's just one problem with that penalty. It's this. Gray went for the ball, didn't get it, his foot touched Mastafi's, Mustafi fell over. Clear penalty? OK.KRBFC wrote:I noticed Martin Keown added balance to the debate on MOTD when he said about the obvious penalty the referee missed when Gray tripped Mustafi, so it kinda evened itself out despite the horrible way it came.

But in the same incident, Mustafi went for the ball, didn't get it, his foot touched Gray's Gray fell over. It's a clear free kick.
So what do they do? Drop ball on the penalty spot?

a troll? if you believe I'm trolling by saying I thought Gray should have conceded a penalty then you are thicker than I thought.claretdom wrote:Reading a troll trying to explain the basics of the game to someone with ashingtons knowledge and experience is pretty funny.
Ashingtons ''knowledge and experience''
I don't know who Ashington is, I don't doubt his knowledge but on this instance I respectfully disagree that a foul has to be ''deliberate'' to concede a penalty. I take it you disagree? otherwise you're actually the troll on this post, seeking desperately for attention by typing stupid replies with zero relevance to the topic to provoke a response. If a player goes in for a tackle to get the ball, misses the ball and takes the man, is that a deliberate foul?
Re: Keith Hackett in DT
You said it yourself, Gray went for the ball, missed the ball and took out the man inside the penalty area, I would expect us to receive a penalty if the shoe was on the other foot so I won't blab biased nonsense when it goes for us. I was simply highlighting in some f**ked up way, both sides were screwed out of big decisions so it evened itself out, unfortunately ours came the way it did.dsr wrote:There's just one problem with that penalty.

Re: Keith Hackett in DT
To be fair it's being blown way out of proportion, he emotionally lost his rag in an emotional game and refused to sit in the stands. He should face punishment for refusing to move when instructed to do so but the complete over reaction to him touching the fourth official is laughable. People are acting like he cleaned out the fourth official or did anything in an aggressive confrontational manner, way over board imo.Chester Perry wrote:The Ref community are really gunning (no pun) for Wenger - the latest from Poll in the DM

Re: Keith Hackett in DT
You've completely missed my point. The point is, it is completely against the laws of physics to suggest that Gray touched Mustafi but Mustafi did not touch Gray. The touch resulted in both players falling to the floor. What did Gray do that Mustafi didn't? What did Mustafi do that Gray didn't?KRBFC wrote:You said it yourself, Gray went for the ball, missed the ball and took out the man inside the penalty area, I would expect us to receive a penalty if the shoe was on the other foot so I won't blab biased nonsense when it goes for us.

and it is the way such petulance feeds down to the grass roots that is the focus of all the ire - in the amateur game the ban would last months - that and the previous from Wenger (the longest serving manager with a single club in the English game by a trip to the mars and back twice) which is causing so much focus.

Re: Keith Hackett in DT
OK let's clear something up guys:
The Laws of the Game state very clearly that when a TV replay shows there's contact then the player is entitled to go down and win a penalty. That's how penalties are won. It's all there in the Book of Laws of the Game in the chapter about how to win at winning penalties.
The pundits probably know exactly what chapter it is. I'm sure. But that's exactly what it says.

My assailant got a 10 year ban and a criminal record. Nit for a minute suggesting arsene gets that level of punishment.
Hasnt stopped me going out on a saturday and doing something i thoroughly enjoy.
As referees we are told not to touch players more so as you go up the levels for the simple reason it sets a precident as to what is acceptable.
2 way process IMO

Re: Keith Hackett in DT
Wenger knows he's in bother when you look at his post match interview. Clearly wanting to laugh it off as nothing. He knows he steps over the line. You can't touch officials (and rightly so!) in any way at all. If he gets away with this then the FA are doing nothing to protect our young refs coming through.
With reference to the ban at games then AW should be locked in a cupboard during the games ..... that way he sees as much as he usually admits to anyway.
And finally, Lawrenson - as TVC says, what the hell are the BBC doing having him on? What an arrogant sod he is thinking he can put himself across as he does. Pop him in the same cupboard as AW.

Re: Keith Hackett in DT
The ref saw the incident with Gray and Mustafi and indicated that he felt Mustafi had dived or to use the parlance "went down too easily" that's why there was no penalty. He didn't miss it! Just because there is a collision doesn't mean it's a foul. It's a bit silly to say well Arsenal should have had a penalty when they quite clearly shouldn't

Players push each other all the time, lets ban them all for touching each other, assault.
Re: Keith Hackett in DT
Who is crying assault ? You are the only one who seems to be using these words and exaggerating.
Are you seriously saying you do not see the difference between pushing an official and pushing a player ?
Wenger lost it and he lost it because he thought his team were going to lose 2 points to lowly Burnley.

you made that up, I never said that. What I actually said was a foul doesn't have to be deliberate for a penalty to be given, miss timed tackles are sometimes still fouls despite not being deliberate. (This was in response to a comment you made ''If you are going to call that contact a deliberate foul then we may as well call time'') FOULS DON'T HAVE TO BE DELIBERATE TO BE PUNISHABLE. A FOUL IS A FOUL WHETHER IT IS ACCIDENTAL OR NOT.
''you accept that players push each other all the time without punishment.''
Players do push each other without punishment..... I'm not making it up, just stating facts.
''Are you trying to say that officials use common sense in deciding, just as happened on Sunday?''
I don't understand what point you're referring to? when did the officials use common sense? Sending Wenger to the stands?
What I'm saying is I think people are going overboard with the whole Wenger thing, yes he should be punished for not listening to the officials when sent off but people acting like he should be severely punished for a bit of handbags are acting soft. He's a chap, nearly 70 year old, he poses no actual threat to anyone.

Re: Keith Hackett in DT
KRBFC --you want players banned and charging with assault when they push each other, therefore you are saying that they should not get away with it, therefore, by that maxim, every contact on the field is punishable by awarding a free kick or penalty --that is your insinuation.
I maintain that this is not the case and that officials use common sense in making these decisions, hence the fact that the officials did not consider every contact made by players to be punishable with a free kick or penalty.
Wenger's actions on Sunday were unacceptable because, although he may not be an actual threat to anyone, he has brought the game into disrepute by his actions. This is not the first time that this has happened and it won't be the last, however, if he gets away with these actions the FA are giving the green light to all managers/coaches and players at ALL levels that they can get away with it.
If you had to deal with the many disciplinary cases, many of which are violent offences against officials, which crop up each weak at grassroots level you would realise that Wenger's actions are totally unacceptable.

I dont care how old wenger is. If he pushes a match official that is setting an acceptable standard if he is not severley punished. Pushes, slaps, punches where does it stop ??? Then u get the grey areas. Opens up all sorts of interpretations and disparagies of punishment.
Touch, push, punch, slap. All assault .
Go out in a saturday or sunday and try refereeing and see how it feels to be verbally and then physically abused.
Rest assured it isnt a pleasant experience. Thankfully most players and managers know what the acceptable behaviour is and therefore why i go out and enjoy my hobby. (Even though that has taken me to a good standard of football)
