I think it was soft but after we were robbed so badly against Sheffield United we deserved a bit of fortune. Yeah this - was a soft penalty and we got a bit of fortune on this occasion. We should have probably had at least one penalty in the Sheffield United home match so swings and roundabouts... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need more nastiness in our team, he did the clever thing and got the team 3 points Yeah exactly. Rival fans may whinge about it as do we when it happens against us BUT when you think back to that blatant hard shove on Ollie and nothing given.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMelvillan Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Thought it was 100% a penalty and was disappointed linekar called it a dive. A kick anywhere on a player can a: hurt and b: disrupt their stride. Honourably struggling to stay on his feet would have got him nowhere because match officials will not recognise a foul as a foul unless the player ends up on the ground in apparent pain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Not many angles - contact is clear after Duran gets ahead of AJ. Ref had a clear view and felt he’s impeded him enough to stop the attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's his right leg that collapses, get your Claret and blues off, although don't get me wrong, I don't give a shit, we needed that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately if you don't go down, the ref will not give the pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derryvillan Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 After years of watching Kane,Salah and Pogba leave their leg in to draw a foul/penalty I'm comfortable with the penalty decision. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I thought it was a clear penalty, of course if it was the other end I wouldn't want it given, but would have to conceded if you kick someone in the ankle like that after the ball is gone, then giving away a penalty is a huge risk, obviously Aaron Ramsey didn't intend it, but was reckless from him, presumably in his over eagerness to impress. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) just looking at his stats, i know he is raw and a bit.....erratic, but he has 4 goals and 1 assist in 563 minutes. so a goal every 140 minutes, or 1 goal in every equivalent 1.6 games. Or, a goal contribution every 113 mins, or 1 goal contribution in every equivalent 1.3 games. Will be interesting to see how he develops, i do wonder if he needs a loan though, to get games week in, week out, to help develop/improve. on a lighter note, he has 5 yellows in 563 mins, or a yellow contribution every 1.3 games........

But if you watch the video you can see his foot move and he generates absolutely zero power as he tries to push off it when he lands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth saying he seems a lot more disciplined when he starts games, but when he comes on from the bench he's putting himself about and leaving one in just to force the defenders to make other decisions.

Hank Scorpio Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 He has an insane amount of potential. We actually have a coaching staff to get the best out of a player for once so I'm hopeful! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
