Ante's Bubbly Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 We never thought for second that a penalty would be given for that. Some dodgy refs might have been pressured into giving it, but the ref last night was one of the best I have seen at this level. He allowed the game to flow, the players seemed to respect him (apart from when Derby players desperately wanted him to give them a penalty), but they all seemed to listen to what he said to them and got on with the game. Some of the Derby layers got a bit naughty late on, but that was because they were losing a six pointer and their behaviour was quickly kerbed by the ref with no fuss. As you say Shandypants, Kadeem's hand was not in an unnatural position and the ball was fired at pace from behind another player. There was nothing Harris could have done to prevent the ball from hitting him, other than being somewhere else. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 A couple of occasions he could have let us play advantage but pulled it back for a free kick. apart from that he was ok. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee A Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Spent his career at Man United under Ferguson. Probably the first time he's ever shouted for a dodgy penalty and not got it. He'll learn. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geriatricowl Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 20000 Wednesday fans "no way was it a penalty". 20000 Derby fans "it was a definite penalty". What do we expect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 If a ball is blasted at a player who has his arms In a natural position it seems obvious that it shouldn’t be a penalty as there isn’t any kind of foul play. Just an unavoidable accident. But I’m not certain what the rules actually are? Clearly neither are the pundits or officials because they all disagreed with each other! To some extent it doesn’t matter because it wasn’t given but I would like to know for sure what the rules are! They change them more often than the COVID rules! It’s impossible to keep up (well impossible for me anyway- someone must be keeping up)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s impossible to keep up (well impossible for me anyway- someone must be keeping up)! Just looked it up on the FA website. It’s not an offence if the hand/ arm isn’t making the body ‘unnaturally bigger’. God knows what that means to be honest. Palmers arm was by his side. Is that making his body unnaturally bigger? Or is is naturally bigger? if he dint have arms at all it would have gone past him. So is it supposed to be a pen?. no wonder the refs can’t get it constantly right! Who writes these bloody rules??

Quist Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Thought ref had good game. Did not notice him much which was a good sign. He may have got couple of things wrong but did far better than some we have had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
