Bony at £20m is just what they need

Bony at Swansea at £20m is just what we need

No way we should pay them that much to take him back.

It has to be deliberate to be a penalty so your post makes zero sense.

I don't think that's the case under FIFA rules. We see people smashing in a cross and a player is a yard away penalties are given. There is a weird rule when it comes to penalties about arm positions etc. The fact that even with replays pundits, fans and even on this board are saying penalty and no penalty. I'm not being biased and I have seen them given against us in the past too in similar circumstances.

If the rule was deliberate there would be no penalties because most are unintentional in the box, how many times have we seen Cahill or terry have their arms like a basketball player from a shot outside the box without it given? For me there is more of a problem with handball than the offside rule.

Anyway it's an extra game both teams probably didn't want or need but a draw seemed fair in the grand scheme of things

The commentary on the Cardiff game is first class.
38 minutes gone and there has been nothing said that I can disagree with
Though the "crowd" looks woeful

I think 90% of hand balls in the box are not deliberate. That's why defenders put their arms behind their back as the amount of penalties that are given. I think Dyer flicks his arm out and forearms it away, I don't think it's deliberate but it's a penalty for me. From the refs angle it looks nailed on

Well if it's not deliberate it ain't a penalty. I know you have bias and i understand that, but
it has to be DELIBERATE to give a penalty.

Ridiculous penalty.

Kilbane, is an ex-Everton player, supporting the referee who's atrocious penalty call against us, has let Everton take a lead into the second leg of the semi.

Do we have Madely again as ref for the second leg?

Yes Madeley again.

Terrible, isn't it?

The stand opposite the camera looks completely empty.

Where are all those Cardiff fans that were so vociferous about getting their shirts changed back to blue? The ground is half empty.

Have they fucked off because its the FA Cup and they don't care? Or have attendances been similarly poor in protest against Tan?
