That 'Penalty'

Your analogy assumes the person you cut up has right of way. As Duffy was in possession of the football, he has "right of way". So in your analogy, Fox is you as the person doing the cutting. And as you rightly say, it goes on your insurance

 

Fair point. In which case I retract the analogy as a poor one, because one of the cars isn’t there to try to stop the other getting past.

lol

So we agree Fox clipped his heel so it Penalty clear and simple 

 

We do Michael. A clear modern day  penalty.

I'll have to live with the way the games going. 

You are adapting better than I. 

 

Wish when it happened at the other end though and our players are left looking like Douglas Bader the refs wouldn't book our lads and give the opposition a defensive free kick.

It’s a clear penalty, Fox clips his leg as he’s running

If that was a penalty, then make the game totally NON contact.

Fox did every thing possible to NOT to touch him, it was just contact by accident, no way did Fox deliberately stick his leg out to stop Duffy, but hey! that's modern football.

Those saying it was a pen need to hang their head in shame.

 

Their lad got a whiff someone was close, felt something touch him and threw himself to the ground.

 

Watch it, watch it again.

 

It's pure cheatery.   It's almost Gordan Watson esq it is that bad.

 

 

I've watched it and watched it again and again 

 

Fox clips his trailing leg and that takes him down it was a Penalty all night long

Doesn't have to deliberate

That is what I am saying, Football is too heavily laden in favour of the Forwards, so much so that any ACCIDENTAL  contact is deemed as a foul.

Last night Fox did every thing to avoid contact, and the very slightest touch and Duffy was going to fall over like an Isis sniper had got him.

To me, that is cheating.

Modern football is a crap game for Pansy's.

I'd be all in favour of winding the rules back 50 years but sadly it's not going to happen.

Say the same thing as much as you want, all it makes you is more wrong.

 

Listen, everyone knows you are an arse, just try this:  Stop talking crap.

Ever read the rules mate, because what he is saying is bang on the mark? Sadly!

Just because you disagree with him doesn't make it not true

 

Put it like this: A referee who had a good game also thought it was a penalty. 

All the pundits and commentators for Sky at the match yesterday thought it was a stonewall penalty... albeit it simultaneously a little soft

A not insignificant number of Wednesday fans have conceded it was a penalty

 

It was a penalty. Had that been Fernando Forestieri instead of Mark Duffy Owlstalk would be full of "he was very clever to win the penalty and force the contact", "it was soft but a penalty all day long". You know it would be. 

 

Maybe, just maybe... it was a penalty.

....It would have been a yellow card for simulation and the press reporting afterwards Wilders disgust at the lack of Corinthian spirit in the modern game ,unlike his own saintly charges, and how such blatant  cheating wasnt only a scourge on the game but that Wednesday had brought shame on the whole City in front of the watching nation and such a wonderful occasion.

 

 

But yes. It is a penalty to the letter of the modern game.

Never a penalty in this world, or any other world.

Cheating Blunt took a dive, sorry 'Simulation', and the save was poetic justice.

Wildebreast has them well drilled in the art of diving. Bunch of cheating scrubbers who can dive better than Tom Daley..

UTO

I've watched it again and think the same. He did everything he could not to touch him, fox's contact doesn't bring him down, he brings himself down.

Imagine you're the united player (horrible I know), I'm convinced the only way your legs would get crossed like that considering such minimal contact is if you did it on a purpose - difficult decision though
