MATTowl1994 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Was having a little looksy at what the 'iron' thought of the penalty decision that was waved away and here's what was had to say. I thought it was quite funny "With him electing initially to decisively give a penalty thanks to a clear view - but then bottling it thanks to the reaction of the home fans and players. After consulting with the linesman: they then gave a corner. The ball never went out."

i used to be sc_owl Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 There was no way it was a penalty. However, had the situation been reversed I would be fuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigblue Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) Both the 'match report' and the comments below seem to avoid the central debate - was it a penalty?! They moan that the referee was a "coward" and that he "bottled it", but make no claim that it was a foul. The reason for this is patently obvious - it was never a penalty in the first place. Claiming that the linesman had "no better view" than the referee is just stupid. The ref was behind the challenge, the linesman was alongside it. It might've been difficult to see clearly from his angle, hence getting the initial decision wrong. I, along with anyone on the Kop side of the South or the South side of the Kop, could clearly see Prutton cleanly take the ball. The linesman was in the ideal spot to see it just as clearly; but I'm not sure the ref was. Good work from the officials all day long that! I do understand the sour grapes though. They are from a place called s_CUN.T_horpe! Edited August 28, 2011 by bigblue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0114 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Credit to the linesman because I was sat right behind that and Prutton clearly won the ball. The ref was a bit quick to give it I thought anyway but Prutton should never have been turned so easily in the box. Was bemused to why they were given a corner as it never want out and how is it our fault that he makes a good tackle doesn't go out and because the ref messed up they get a corner. If it weren't for Clinton Morrison stopping it on the line people would have gone ballistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I find it absolutely amazing that they didn't shoe it in the football league show. It would have cleared it all up whilst making the ref look an idiot for giving a corner when the ball didn't go out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cersei Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Pffffffft, we never get any flippingluck normally, Didn't look a penalty to me for what it's worth and i was sat in line with it, Also we could have beat Sflaphorpe by three more goals if we had more teeth up front, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Oadby Owl Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 It was never a penalty we all agree that one, but great credit to the linesman for alerting the referee to that + for the referee for changing his decision. I thought the game was restarted by a drop ball on the corner of our box because didn't they nearly score from the resultant cross? Scunny were a very good side and it was easy to see how they had got a point at Charlton last week (by all accounts deserved to win!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last_Great_Hope Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 So the Scunnt fans think he "bottled" it? If, as we all seem to believe, it's was an incorrect descision to give a pen, then the Ref has shown that he certainly has the Cojones by admitting he was wrong after consultation with the Lino. That's no mean feat for a guy who is being watched by 16,800 people, and who'd job it is to get the call right everytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburghowl Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 There was no way it was a penalty. However, had the situation been reversed I would be fuming. I think that is fair. The fact he even gave the penalty in the first place was ridiculous. He obviously wasn't 100% certain and you have to be 100% sure to give a penalty. The following reaction with suggesting a drop ball and then the corner proved completely that he didn't know what he was doing. I can see why they were upset, I would have been too if Wednesday had a penalty chalked off, but in fairnedd there was no way it was a penalty in the first place.

They are from a place called s_CUN.T_horpe! Totally agree, I sit on the Kop half way back, just to the south side of goal, I saw prutton just get his toe to it, one of several great tackles from the midfield marvel on Saturday! Thought it was a very brave decision by the ref and linesman! My dad didn't see it clearly and thought it was a penalty! Most disappointingly, it wasn't shown on the football league show! Strange as it was a main talking point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latemodelchild Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I'd say the penalty was a bigger talking point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had what happened Saturday happened within the last few years never would we have got the players reaction that helped sway the officials. It was clearly the right decision in tue end but without the protest from the players the penalty would have stood. Yet another example of the mentality that GM is installing into the players. Look also at goal celebrations. When Nadine scored his 2nd and Wednesday's 3rd every player was celebrating except from Leitrim and jones on the half way line who were discussing tactics on the half way line. I started a thread Saturday about GM (moving forward? You bet!) and this again is GM putting his stamp on the team. Good times ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 They are bound to be hacked off, but they along with Alan Knill make themselves sound stupid by saying Prutton hacked Dagnall down, because he didnt and the replays prove it. The author states he can tolerate an honest mistake...obviously not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_B_SWFC Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 If the "penalty" had stood, wouldn't the ref had to have sent Prutton off? It did look like a goal scoring opportunity from where I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonbones Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Had it in my ear yesterday from the wife's family who all saying they were cheated. None of them went mind you, but wouldn't take it from me that they were wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
