Someone should take his shovel off him before it's too late.

No, get a bigger shovel.

Guardian podcast had Daniel Harris on it and jesus wept, the guy spewed out every ragcafe cliché within about 1 minute. Oil money, oppressive regime, Jose started with worse team, Pogba missing etc etc etc. Professional journalist apparently, so bitter

Sky rolling news all about the Herrera non penalty how about talking about the NAILED on pen when Otter was thrown to the floor by Herrera

Thanks for the links. Maybe, I don't recollect penalties given in similar instances where the foul is away from the ball in play.

C**tana in the F.A. cup derby, ball is 2 foot over his head.

 

[foggy1974]

Maybe there should be a rule to give red card/yellow cards without penalty in such cases.

what like Herrera

Peg has done what Peg does, Creates a shitstorm so it deflects from his teams shit display. See Snidy is toeing the party line, saying we had a lot of the ball but didn't hurt them and they were controlling there game from Helms Deep (their own 18 yard box).

Taking the fight to City then just seemed a little sad, like stumbling back in though the door shouting and-another-thing half an hour after losing the argument.

Not all fouls in the box are given as penalties though. It would be harsh if it was given IMO.

Wrong. Every commentator called it as a pen. Bein. Sky. BBC.

It was a pen.

 

[SWP's back]

My opinion was not based on the kind of foul, but about how far Otamendi was away from the ball.

That’s literally got nothing to do with anything.

 

[SWP's back]

I base it on the simple principle that penalties should be given for obstructing (unlawfully) a goal scoring opportunity. In this case, from what I remember, there was no way Otamendi would have got the ball even without the foul.

Then your principle, as well as being simple, is also wrong.
