Todays Talking Point

Re: Todays Talking Point

Commentator on Radio Wales thought it should have been a pelanty kick, Ratcliffe thought not.

Agree he did get his shirt tugged slightly but, the question is, was it enough to go down and get a pelanty?
I don't think so personally and we have seen this decision from referee's, quite rightly IMO, a few times recently.

The striker could have brushed that off and scored.
Got what he deserved, feck all.

I thought it was against the rules to pull someone's shirt?

Re: Todays Talking Point

Wasn't there another penalty claim just before or just after that one?
Any videos of that one?

Just a quick reminder that there are no rules in football, just laws
First thing they taught us when I did a refs course years ago

It is but when you go all Premier league and fall over like a ponce it has a tendency to sometimes backfire

concerned about the atrocious spelling in this thread!

Re: Todays Talking Point

Pelanty I take as a joke......Ones that crop up time and time again in ALL message boards/newspaper comments etc are
"should of..." instead of "should have..."
"he was beat at his near post (or wherever)...instead of "beaten..."

Could have been given, seen some given, seen plenty that haven’t.

Re: Todays Talking Point

Made the most of it but shirt pull so penalty.

That's how I see it. Whenever I see a contentious decision that goes for or against us, I tend to think how I'd feel if it happened to the opposite side. If, for example, we get a dodgy penalty, how would I feel if we had conceded one like that?

If that had happened to us at the CCS, where one of our players had had their shirt pulled, even if the fall was a little theatrical, I'd have been raging had we not had a penalty and I suspect most of us would have felt the same.

If the referee blew up every time a shirt got pulled there wouldn't be much football at all on show.

This was one of those arbitrary decisions, some will be given, some won't.
Has always been that way and always will be.

Absolutely and I think that's why fans get frustrated. Wednesday fans will be livid, City fans think he's a diving ponce. Neither can be proved 100% right or wrong.

Thankfully we have VAR to iron out any inconcistencies here.

That one on Etete where he won the ball and the defender just stayed on top of it was a very poor decision, he was whistle happy.

Didn't see it only listened on RWales.
Ratcliffe would agree with you, he was up in arms at the referee's incompetency.
