    Re: Today's Premier League

    I found out today for the first time that if a pelanty is accidentally hit with both feet (due to a slip), it's a free kick to the opposing team as opposed to just taking it again (which is what happens if the keeper cheats and jumps off his line prematurely).

    Mahrez got unlucky, and the rule seems weighted in favour of the keeper.

    Really harsh decision by the ref. You'd be proper pissed off if it happened to you. I mean if refs are allowed to use interpretation for offside decisions, as he did it that very same game, surely he could have used a bit of common sense with this.

    But that's all about advantage. If the keeper moves but the ball goes in then it's not a retake for obvious reasons.
