It was a foul for sure, but penalties have to happen in the area not outside

The law says if the pulling continues into the area then a pen should be awarded

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Loads of untied memorabilia up for grabs.....one bloke is selling ' allegedly ' his really tasteful MUFC block paved drive !!!!!

The ref stated it was sustained pulling into the box. So that means the offence started outside surely.

And like others said, pulled backwards yet fell forwards.

I think the way he fell is irrelevant. It could easily have been awarded if he stayed on his feet. Pulling the shirt is the foul

So that started outside the box - therefore free ick and not penalty?

It can be initiated outside and, if it carries on into the box, then it’s a pen

Only if he had let him go before he got into the box

The rags I know have said the same. It literally is papering over the cracks.

Same here....deep down, they all know. Their demise is inevitable.

To be fair I do think it’s a pen.
I’d want that if it was done to a city fan.

The defender had got himself in a pickle and had a good tug.
It just needs to be applied consistently across the board.

It will never be applied fairly across the board. That’s the problem.

And beautiful

Atwell on VAR, deciding the game! So much for referees decision and all that!

Surprised…NOT!

It was shit defending

Of course they do!

They might not admit it, or say it out loud, but they know the gig is up.

They whine like swines when they're losing or drawing games, and go over board when they eventually win one.

It must be purgatory being a rag. They spend most of their weekends either hiding away in isolation or strutting around town in their replica shirts like it's 1999.

To be fair to them, it was a relegation 6-pointer.

Which the wrong side won. 8>(

 

[Longdarnit Blue]

We all know Pep doesn’t like to keep the disgruntled and unhappy at the club but nobody on here can think selling the raggies St Beneathus is a good move. There’s 48 hours before the transfer window ends. Please keep the glorified soul for another window at least.

He says a lot of things, his reputation is already in tatters. He doesnt give a shit apart from whos going to pay him next.

From the special one to the special brew.

But it’s not one when Bobb’s foot gets stamped on in the box.

Lots of rag fans saying that they should go and get Donnarumma. Why would he move to that shitshow? They are not in Europe and look like a complete bunch of clowns. They really have not realised their new place in the world - biggest team in the world my arse!

In terms of money spent on it, they could be.....

Again I think that’s a nailed on pen. The issue is they are both pens. One given and one not. I get that the majority of people will think that mob get preferential treatment and sometimes it’s hard to argue against.

Similar today Fulham should have had a goal stand.

To be honest it would be nice if decisions were correct the majority of the time no matter who it’s for.

He wont hand his notice in and can the rags afford to sack him. Tricky one.
