Dropped ball

I imagine he'll have had a slap on the wrist for that.

I suspect so, but hope not. Fair play to him, he knew he got the previous “corner” wrong and made a joke out of it. Good to see and made me chuckle. Very rare with these robots nowadays

Watched it on TV and even from the camera on the half way line, i immediately said that the ball went out of play. They have cameras much nearer to the goal line and never once showed a replay from that angle. Linesman deffo at fault.

Ball boy defo at fault. The game had not been brought to a halt when he had his brainfart

Another cock up from the officials. Mariner also shook his head for the pen, before receiving his instructions and blowing up for it.

TBF I thought Ederson gave another penalty late on, I think the referee would have given that if we had been winning.

That one was a clear dive, Eddie had actually given up on winning the ball and made himself big.

That is correct. You play to the whistle and that includes the ball boy. Wasn't his fault David Blunkett was running the line

Does anyone recall the 3rd Division game we played at Stoke on the Friday night?
We were winning 1-0 and it was like 1 min to go and Stoke all over us.....
The ball was slowly going out for a Stoke throwing near the corner flag.... A Stoke sub was stood there and obviously to speed things up, he wanted to pick the ball up and give it to his team member as quickly as possible..... Only he leant over onto the pitch and picked it up just before it crossed the line. There were no Stoke or City player going for the ball....
The Linesman flagged and told the ref it hadnt gone out and the sub was booked!
City free-kick instead of a Stoke throwing and we won the game a minute later.

Absofuckinglutely! I’m not sure what gets into his stupid head, but it might be long past time someone told him he don’t go to ground outside his 6 yard box! He definitely caught him with his legs!

I actually thought it was more of a penalty than Walker’s tackle, which appeared to knock the ball away from Mayer, who I think was jumping over the challenge and dived. The contact on him was incidental to the challenge, and definitely wasn’t reckless or endangering him. The only factor that anyone can use is that Walker slid in and raised his foot, but that was because that was where the ball was on the bounce.

He looked to the Lino who gave it

It was a pen to be fair, but so was the push in the back that caused Gabby to miss that header. Linesman didn't intervene on that occasion.

It was a pen. I was sat in the SS3 and it was as clear as day. I'm a fan of Ederson but I'm not sure what goes on in his head sometimes!

That was a clever little dive. Have another look.
