He blew when the ball had bounced in front of Jack. PiGMOL propaganda said when it was in the air He denied a goal scoring opportunity which a player would be sent off for andbanned for a game

He didn’t though, I posted the screenshot of when he whistled for it. It was way too early.

Just like fuckwit Dermot yesterday, they like to rub salt into our wounds.
Basically laughing their heads off

I don't agree there, at all. It he had left it with the initial advantage, this thread would be 200 pages shorter, and Hooper would have received a great assessment.

So if Haaland had played a terrible pass forward, you think he should have allowed it all to play on?

Yeah, thanks for that. I've been through it carefully, and there is this bit you refer to: "The referee can wait a few seconds to allow a possible advantage to develop, and if the non-offending team does not benefit and gains no advantage, the original free kick can be given. However, the non-offending team should not be given two chances, e.g. a player is fouled but recovers and has a shot at goal; if the player does not score, the referee cannot go back and give a free kick for the original offence."

The problem I think, is the law doesn't state clearly when the advantage signal should be made. In my days of refereeing, a referee would assess the situation, possibly for a few seconds and then make a decision. Either give the foul, or play the advantage, giving the appropriate signal (and shouting as loud as possible to the players). There was never a scenario of signalling advantage then going back for the foul.

I think the reaction of the City players indicates that it is also their understanding that once advantage had been signalled, that is the decision made, and it is not then possible to retract that decision and give the foul. If the advantage doesn't materialise, then that's just tough luck.

This said, I still can not recall one instance in professional football, at any level, where a referee signals advantage, then goes back and gives the foul. Yet people say it happens in every game. Maybe it's a subconscious thing that we think we do or don't see, but really pay no real regard to. Well I hope someone can point me to one of these that assistant happen in nearly every game, just so I can set my mind at ease.

Compare the penalty awarded at the Emirates where not only was he given advantage & shot they were then awarded a penalty.

Bunch of utter cunts.

 

[MadchesterCity]

My own pathetic mini protest will be not to watch any football tonight, I’m still very pissed off about the obvious cheating and corruption

 

[hello]

Are you saying that you've never seen a ref play advantage, then bring play back for the original foul, when no advantage occurs?

That must happen in nearly every game of football I've ever watched.

Absolutely, but Sunday was the first time I've ever seen a ref play an advantage, see the advantage is a fucking great advantage and think fuck it actually we'll come back for a free kick. There has to be more to it than the fat fucker wanting a rest surely as basic incompetence doesn't cover it like it usually does.

Watching MOTD I also think if we are ruling goals out for Akanji literally touching Allison when jumping last week, someone coming through the back of Ake is surely a foul?

Sending him head over heels and then some. Anywhere else on the pitch would have been blown for a foul.

Its a new cop out, why did they drop him after the injury time non Pen for Wolves at Rags, what about the other 90 mins. as its us, different rules, he would be dropped if he did exactly the same for a red top
