Trying to win the ball in the box and a penalty = no red card.

Taking the man not the ball and giving away a penalty = red card.

Players who commit a foul to deny a goalscoring opportunity will no longer automatically be sent off, football's rule-making body has confirmed.

The previous 'triple-punishment' rule required a red card - and therefore a suspension - as well as the award of a penalty under those circumstances.

However, players committing accidental fouls that deny a goalscoring chance will now be cautioned instead.

But deliberate fouls will still incur a red card.

Those include holding, pulling or pushing, not playing the ball, serious foul play, violent conduct or deliberate handball in order to deny a goalscoring opportunity.

 

[SWP's back]

That's the way I interpret it, it's a deliberate foul in the box.

So it's a penalty.

But it's only a red if it stops a clear goal scoring opportunity AND there is no genuine attempt to play the ball.

Fair comment. It'd be a big job to get them playing a beautiful game.

It'd be fucking impossible with what Palace have got. Hence the Allardyce appointment ;-)

 

[SWP's back]

Dunno mate.

I do though. That's what I'm saying.

This is insipid from Gooners. Talk Shite must be wanking furiously.

Cook has just gone studs up,from behind,into the achilles of an Arsenal player - yellow card only.

 

[super_city_si]

Bournemouth playing really well

Theyre too busy blaming Pep.

We didn't even get a free kick for the one by Arfield on Sagna.

Fair enough mate...found this on sky.

The law has now been changed so players committing accidental fouls that deny goal-scoring opportunities in the penalty area will not be automatically sent off, with a yellow card sufficient punishment.

As the amendment states: "When a denial of a goalscoring opportunity offence is committed by a defender in the penalty area, the penalty kick effectively restores the goalscoring opportunity so the punishment for the player should be less strong (e.g. a yellow card) than when the offence is committed outside the penalty area. However, when the offence is handball or clearly not a genuine attempt to play or challenge for the ball, the player will be sent off."

Just bang this in Bournemouth.

 

[Pam]

Boooo

 

[kaz7]

Hee hee good half

 

[@BluePhil8]

First 10 minutes of the second half going to be vital. If Arsenal come out fired up it could be a long second half but after that first half showing it wouldn't be a surprise if Bournemouth win by 3 or 4.

 

[citytill1die84]

Would love Arsenal to finish 5th Ozil and Sanchez would definitely be off.

 

[wattle]

Like Sinclair, Roberts, Rodwell and Delph?

Thanks for supporting my point. Like I said, our scouting seems a bit shit. I don't know how you can include Roberts in that list???? The others you mentioned have hardly ever played for various reasons. I'm on about scouting and buying a few players that are good enough to play in the first 11. And I'm not having there aren't any around and the we're too big a club bollox.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Good

It is,but it pisses me right off that such an incident receives lesser punishment than Fern's.

Think that's Arsenal's problem. They never seem really fired up.
They play the same way no matter what and if it works, more the better else c'est la vie.
