Genie Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 43 minutes ago, The_Steve said: That’s not what happened though - go back and watch it - Watkins is shoved in the back then pulled up by shirt. It’s 100% a foul. The shove is debatable, sometimes you get them as I mentioned before. The problem was he theatrically threw himself to the floor which might have gone against him (also as it was only 2-3 mins in). The shirt pull image was actually the defender trying to hold Watkins up. The images are not comparing the same thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a contact sport and an amount of pushing/shoving is acceptable within the rules. A shove does not necessarily equal a foul, otherwise there would be a penalty awarded literally at every corner and set piece. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A situation where there is a bit of jostling, such as a shoulder-to-shoulder, I'm fully with you on. I think both players have the chance to be able to 'hold their ground'....but you can't have someone standing behind someone else and shoving them two handed in the back.

I imagine some pilgrims supporters have some authenticity to express towards the PM about now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
