Wolves (A) Post Match Thread

[Blue Smarties]

We’ve a game at 17:30, focus on that.

If this was Aguero or God forbid Sterling, do you think there would be calls for retrospective action?

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

OP - Why? He headed it first. Yeah it went in of his arm into the goal but he only cheated by not admitting it to the ref. It that's the level of truth you want players to stand up to then there wouldn't be many teams that could field any players let alone a team.

Not only that, had he said he’d handled it, it’s very very doubtful the referee would have changed his mind anyway. I remember Michael Owen saying he’d not been fouled at Arsenal but the penalty was still given. That being said, I don’t actually think it was handball, not under the laws of football definition anyway!
As you said, they all cheat for the entire 90 minutes, from claiming throw-ins to rolling around like they’re shot. This one seems like a strange case to be attempting to take the moral high ground on.

The laws of football involve interpretation and I can pretty much guarantee that any referee or VAR on seeing it would have ruled it out as a handball.
That said I agree that it's absurd to complain about a player celebrating a goal or demanding retrospective action against him.

If the other way around and aguero owns up to handling meaning we don't get the points. ....... I don't think so

 

[chaddblue]

Ain't gonna happen in a million years and if it happened to one of our players we'd all we going mental !!!

We were cheated / unlucky... take your pick... but we didn't lose, forget it and move on

 

[aguero93:20]

It wasn't violent conduct or simulation so no scope for a ban.

Next you'll want to ban defenders that don't own up when they get away with a foul in the area.

Can Boly be charged retrospectively for purposely deceiving the Ref? He MUST have known he'd cheated, nevertheless, he jumped around like a new born lamb to celebrate. In addition, I haven't seen a single mention about his conduct in the media. I've even heard pundits express sympathy for officials who "...could not have possible seen the handball..." and mention the fact that even our players didn't see it. I guess it could be argued it wasn't deliberate, but we haven't even had the debate. I think this is an absolute disgrace, imagine the outcry if it had been Raz?

 

[urban genie]

Results done, isn't gonna change seems petty to want him banned.
Modern football thinking I suppose though

Leave that injustice and wah wah wah it's not fair bullshit for the scousers.
