Forest away Tuesday 14th January 8pm

[Catrin]

I agree with Rudedog on the pen. If the ref gives it VAR isn’t overturning it.

[Kenneth]

I agree with that too, but 'what would VAR do' unfortunately isn't a good measure.

[Buzzo]

Are we allowed to be slightly partisan on these descisions

Would be given this season is more than good enough for me. Blatant pen if it’s anyone other than Salah.

[Sus]

I wish it was a penalty as well, and think Salah is definitely owed a few

[rudedog]

He's just out muscled, the significant contact is shoulder to shoulder. Many many cheaper pens have been given, but the threshold for a pen should be higher than this.

shoulder to shoulder




You can’t use your hand/arms to push people over

[Kenneth]

We can all play that game

[Buzzo]

That pic also shows the contact with the leg. They don’t make any contact with the ball. It’s definitely a pen.

That’s not where the foul took place though???

Unless the game you’re playing is demonstrating how you are wrong. If that’s the case, well played

It ridiculous but Salah is definitely treated differently to other players by refs, and seemingly our own fans.

Come now. He did himself no favours by going down so easily in his first few seasons. He cheats as good as the rest of them. Doesn't make it right.

[vlahka]

As far as I'm concerned ever since Lovren touched a players shoulder and they fell and were given a penalty, all these shoves in the box are clear penalties.

Dear Mo I I wrote you, but you still ain't callin' I left my cell, my pager and my home phone at the bottom

This is Bob your biggest fan.

very good to be fair. Made me laugh.

He frustrates the **** out of me. When he scores he gets a bye. The last 3 games he's been bang average. Mainly because we insist on playing him for 90 plus minutes every game. I still appreciate him. He's a freak in respect of numbers. I just think he's becoming a passenger.

That's crazy talk re Salah. The entire team was dormant for the first 45 and then woke up. Salah was no different, as well as play in Szob with two great little passes into the channel for square passes across goal which were both blocked, he was twice unlucky not to win it with a great save and then on the line block. He was heavily involved just didn't come off on this occasion.

That pen call is usually 50/50. Konate uses his body like that often and I've not seen one given against him. Yet.
In this game though the chance of awarding was probably 20% given the precedent the ref set throughout the game of letting things go.

It is nuts that foul threshold unofficially differs inside the penalty area. Imo if ref had a clear view of the leg across / shoulder barge movement then there was enough to give it and let VAR review it.
