We now know that shirt pulling in the box is allowed

CaptJohn · Post by **CaptJohn** » Sun Apr 04, 2021 2:21 pm

I'm not sure when the rule change was made but pulling the shirt of a forward when he is about to score is now allowed to prevent him from scoring. WTF is VAR for if not for blatant fouls like that. It was either a penalty or a red card for the defender for denying a clear goal scoring opportunity. OK I think we got what we deserved from the match (Sweet FA) but that was a clear penalty.

Someone on the ratings thread said it was "a slight pull" of the shirt

I was actually surprised the shirt remained on Wood's back tbh

Sean Dyche should announce that shirt pulling will be part of the training sessions at levels at Burnley Football Club

Easiest of decisions. Clear pen and a red card.

It’s crazy that incidents like that are totally ignore by VAR. Whether it prevented Wood from scoring or not it was a no-brainer of a penalty.

Aclaret · Post by **Aclaret** » Sun Apr 04, 2021 2:51 pm

Ref didn't see it, Neither linesmen didn't see it, VAR didn't see it. Perhaps it didn't happen and we are all seeing things !

Goodclaret · Post by **Goodclaret** » Sun Apr 04, 2021 3:02 pm

Again, can you imagine the uproar if that had cost a "big team" a point? It's just such a blatant error it's embarrassing for the ref's/VAR once again but "because it's only Burnley" it will be barely mentioned.

Woonderbah · Post by **Woonderbah** » Sun Apr 04, 2021 3:09 pm

I think if Wood misses the ball then VAR would have to give a penalty.
I was dumbfounded it wasn't given by the officials in the first place.

Anywhere else on the pitch it's a foul and a card.
The only decision the referee had to make in this case was what colour card.
It was a penalty.

We are very poor at getting these decisions. Pieters did the right thing in the first half, whether he was hurt or not, by staying on the ground knowing that if the incident is reviewed it will be given. Wood could have forced the referee to communicate with the VAR and they would have had no option but to award the penalty.

Clearest pen of the day. I was surprised that the Ben Mee handball in first half didn’t get more attention. I thought it was arm to ball rather than other way round.

I feel bad now for shouting at Wood for missing that. No doubt would have buried it if he hadn't had to stop to put his shirt back on.

Totally agree. Nailed on penalty for us and probably like you I was amazed when no more was made of the shot that Ben Mee blocked early in the game.

Prevented a goal, penalty and red card incident. So only 3 out of 4!

Could have been given but I dont think it really impeded Wood. He got good contact on the ball and should still have scored despite Souhamptons fortune with the save from Forster.
If it was given they could have had no real complaints but maybe we have had a couple of handball shouts which could maybe have been given and would have been similarly soft.

I’d say should, pulling a shirt is either an offence or it’s not. That split second could easily and probably did impact on Wood’s approach to the ball.

Yet ANOTHER example of why I wrote the answers I did in the VAR survey.

To be fair, Dyche not going to town about it hasn’t helped, even if it had changed nothing. These blatant errors even from the match day officials are poor, but when someone is in a studio reviewing it, to get it so very wrong is an absolute disgrace.

I really would prefer to go back to having genuine mistakes every week from the ref and assistants. Getting it this wrong with the tech available is just corrupt.

You really do have to wonder how on earth that wasn’t picked up by VAR. Unbelievably last night on SSN they reported that Wood missed a good chance to get a point but fluffed it. They made no reference to the shirt pull.

MOTD however couldn’t believe it wasn’t given and neither could Gallagher.

It wasn’t anything but an easy decision for Moss.

I think if Wood had done what undoubtedly somebody like Lacazette would do, i.e. Go down in a heap, then a penalty would have been given. Not that I would want Wood to do that but it does get results.

I haven't heard or read from anyone who didn't think that it was a stonewall penalty (and would have been a red card). To be fair to Wood, it probably happens most times when he's challanging for the ball in the penalty area and, therefore, he didn't give it a thought to appeal.

Moss has done us before. Hes a very poor referee but VAR it really poor too at times. Like this incident. We don't get much from match officials not even justice.

They expect a reaction and Wood didn't probably because he knew it was his own fault he fluffed it rather than the shirt pull. Either that or he needs to learn from Barnes a bit and make it known to ref.

Culmclaret · Post by **Culmclaret** » Tue Apr 06, 2021 8:04 am

Bednarek’s body shape is natural and he is looking the other way so it is clearly an accidental or unintentional shirt pull.....
