West Ham at home Sunday 13th April 2pm

[SB]

First half was decent.

Second half was poor.

Yep no argument there.

[Tatterdemalion]

I think its cause he turned his head before hitting it so they can claim he wasnt looking when he hit it.





In normal world thats a penalty.

I think his arm was out to stop him colliding with his own no.4, but yes very lucky not to concede a pen there. I wonder if we'll see a spate of 'no-look' hand balls?

[spud_gun]

That Diaz goal was a thing of beauty. Unreal assist from Mo

[Exiled_red]

He looks to be sliding so presumably his arm is out to stop him sliding into someone, but in category of seen them given. The cynic in me says that's a pen we never get, but I imagine teams playing against us would...

[vlahka]

I dont believe hes got his arm up to stop himself. He's not travelling that fast. He's also leaning back as his feet are shuffling. He can stop instantly, which he does. Besides he would have used his friends back to stop himself, not the back of his head. Thats a blatant purposeful handball.

[BG1973]

It's suspicious to me because he has no reason to look away. Other than trying to con.

[peterbread]

Maybe he’s just a big Bobby fan and wanted his no look moment in front of the Kop.

[Scratch]

He looked away cos the players in front of him missed the ball, so he suddenly had a ball flying at his face. Natural reaction to look away. But still, ball hit his up raised hand, so should have been a penalty.

Yep I agree with that too.

[BG1973]

Yeah you're right, he'd do well to intentionally look away like that.

Bit of a weak effort though..

[vlahka]

Look away? Everyone in that area is trying to get their heads to the ball to either score or clear. Plus his face isnt arms length away.
