No attacking foul?

why would the palace defender dive in his own box when they're defending a potential goal?

Wrestled him to the ground

 

[ford7]

Cunts.

Partey obstructs the defender?

Agree but was never going to be overturned

 

[skillman]

Odegaard stopped forward motion in the run up, but they never seem to enforce that rule on penalties these days.

Means keepers are at even more of a disadvantage than they already were.

I always thought it’s ok as long as the taker is still moving, is it not? You’re probably right, just never thought it was so pedantic really.

No need to wait for whistle for free kicks anymore ?

 

[Paladin]

Two fouls. Penalise the second, not the first. Coote / VAR have no problem favouring the bigger club - less chance of hassle. Institutionalised bias.

 

[Blueknows]

Same. Neither last week nor this have they looked like a force.

Well walk the league this year.imo

Def pen. Defence switched off and keeper brainless! Not worried about Arsenal they don’t look as fluid as last season.

It is when its us. Was it Kev who scored against Newcastle but got drew back because the ref didn't blow his whistle?

You are meant to always be moving forward on the run up, as being able to take steps then stop is rightly deemed unfair to the keeper, but they never seem to invalidate the penalty when a player violates the rule.
