Match Thread | Stoke vs Man City (11/02/15)

[Lancet Fluke]

No clean sheet in 10. Just what the specific fuck on stilts is this bollocks and where is it all going to end?

And even in the last clean sheet, the linesman played as big a part in the clean sheet as most of the defence.

What an idiot

Lol

"Idiot" is being polite

Looks like its deliberate for whatever reason he felt he needed to do it. Would love to know who's given that decision though. There's loads of deabte at a slow-mo of it, Aguero's other hand and the ball are obstructing the view of the linesman and probably the ref. Surely guessing at best!?

So if Aguero had a strike in an opponents box and it was going well wide and a defender accidently sticks his arm out and the ball hits it it;s not a penalty then?

that literally is not a penalty in any way. the handball has to be fucking deliberate. christ does anyone know the rules?

I don't think you are ever going to get away with scoring a goal with your hand like that whether he meant it or not. It was a stupid decision by kun.

I know we are all blue to the core but some of us really need to take our blue tinted specs off sometimes.

 

[Marvin]

It was accidental and it didn't gain him any advantage, so how the fuck is it a handball?

I'm fuming about it, one of the worst decisions you will see this season.

Has to be intent to be a handball offence.

 

[stony]

The question we should be asking is who gave that decision? Deliberate or not, the ref didn't see it and there is no way the lino could have seen it. So who decided it was handball?

 

[bitsmith]

Clear handball and clear booking, don't know why the fuss.

 

[Bilboblue]

Stupid from Kun, but understandable.

Thiose saying it was a poor decision, it wasn't, it was a correct decision.

My gripe is, how many times is this fkn ref gonna allow them dirty bastards to kick Silva about???

 

[Hamann Pineapple]

I don't think it was deliberate, momentum that's all

 

[Ric]

It was the right decision to disallow it. Presume it was already going in, so not sure why he did it.
