The PGMOL Apologies Thread

[SebastianBlue]

Well, it never stopped me :)

And you know me. Always one to give someone the benefit of the doubt before I call them a ****. And then do it anyway .....

And you know me: I just assume everyone is a **** until they present statistically significant data to the contrary. ;-)

Any apology to Fulham yet?

See they are doing that pointless show with Webb this week when they talk through incidents and release audio.
Probably this week so they can bring up Ake’s goal but until they release all audio from all games, they can cherry pick the decisions they want.
Guarantee no mention of:
Rashford Penalty, Wolves non penalty, both penalties in Dippers v Bournemouth, Forests red card, Salah being offside etc

Refs a!

Refs a!

All of that was actually correct.

Agreed. The ref did nothing wrong there. Goalies have been taking the piss for too long.

Refs a!

Genuinely looks like he doesn't have the technique and didn't know he was doing it. Even on that last one, he almost did it.

I think every penalty I've seen this season the goalie is always a yard or two off his line.

I can't remember which tournament, maybe USA 94 or even Euro 96 goalies were running out to their six yard boxes during penalty shootouts, it was ridiculous

Not only did the goalie move there were loads of players encroaching too.

I think they actually do try to time it to the kick these days because it is always checked by VAR. They still come forward but they usually leave their standing foot back on the line. I imagine keepers actually practice this because it’s something of a skill.

The most egregious I’ve seen was Dudek in the Champions League final in 05. It’s absolutely absurd how far off his line he is. Even though the enforcement was very loose back then I still remember thinking at the time that the ref would surely tell him to retake it… but no.
