FA Watch

[ultimateharold]

Cant disagree mark, definitely seems the case.

Is it just me or does it seem that there is extra being played, generally speaking, since the OT game?

Spot on, its rare to see anything less than 4 mins in any game since the derby.

Peter Walton really got it wrong in tonights Liverpool v Birmingham game.He gave a penalty,where The Birmingham player Carsley was adjudjed to have made contact in the penalty area with N'Gog.Replays show clearly there was no contact whatsoever.It was a blatant dive.

Though I agree, compare this to Rooney's "penalty" claim against Almunia (Arsenal) in August. He tries to take the ball around the keeper but massively overhits it, losing control and then begins to fall to the ground before Almunia has made contact.

Would Ngog's mass criticism still occur if he had dragged his leg and FORCED the contact as Rooney did?

Could it not also be argued that Ngog's penalty was more legitimate than Rooney's since Ngog kept the ball in play and in his possession despite Carsley's attempted (and missed) tackle?

Discuss.

 

[jamiegrimble]

Possibly.Though the angle of the Carsley tackle gives us the clearest view of no contact.

just read this in the paper itself, and although it seems mildly tongue in cheek , its actually well researched and is good publicity for FA Watch.

This is just the coverage we need to make the FA sit up and listen.
For once, well done Henry Winter.
