BOF Posted March 27, 2010 Moderator Share Posted March 27, 2010 That was thick from Collins, you could clearly see the player was going to nick it. No complaints about the pentaly being awared. I do have a few complaints about their dirty challenges escaping the ref's attention though. there was no contact so how was it a penalty?There was contact. Minimal, but enough. He wasn't going towards goal though. He was quite clearly heading away from goal. That, for me, makes it not quite stone-wall. But Collins was stupid to give the ref a decision to make.

I do have a few complaints about their dirty challenges escaping the ref's attention though. there was no contact so how was it a penalty? looked like he clipped him to me. Could ne wrong though, would need to see it again. Either way, it was a bit silly of Collins to put his foot in there when it was so obvious the Chelsea man would get his toe on it.

villaajax Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Nicholas says definite pen! Going to be one of those games, we play well but get nothing! Nicholas is a top 4 man so I wouldn't completley believe him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 He stood on his toe, minimal contact but Collins would have complained. That's how I'm sure it was a penalty. The guy is a very strong person and has alot of things to say so the fact he didn't even moan at the Referee but just looked guilty says it was a penalty.

tonyh29 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 just seing it again ..it's a bit of both Collins make contact and then we had a great dive but the Ref has to give it i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Zirkov milked it, diving clearing in the woods It is to be expected. It was a stupid, ill-thought challange. Clumsy Collins at it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dogg Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I think we could see Downing on for Carew and put Gabby in the middle. Or Downing for sidwell maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDon Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I think we could see Downing on for Carew and put Gabby in the middle. Or Downing for sidwell maybe. If Carew comes off there will be hell to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I don't think we need to change much apart from Agbonlahor really has to get forward more. When we get the ball he's playing far too deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted March 27, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted March 27, 2010 The stream I've got made it hard to tell, I can't blame the ref for giving it either way but if theres contact, to my mind, it's absolutely minimal and nowhere near enough for Zhirkov to audition for the next Superman movie. As it is, we've not been bad at all but could be better. Friedels not had a lot to do, defence has been decent, midfield in the centre is doing much imo as both teams focus on the wings, Young has been good once again. Gabby's been quiet, I don't like him out wide to be honest, and Carews become our RVN seemingly. The hopeful punts down the pitch aren't going to do anything, but when we can be arsed to pass we've looked good. Sidwell's ball for the goal was abolutely sublime.

tonyh29 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 can't see Milner staying on for long ..think he is suffering ..not helped by Chelseas policy of elbowing and kicking lumps out of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete165 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 we've played well this half and are a bit unlucky to be behind. no drama, no 'we are shit', no terrible performances. we'll probably lose another 3 points to spurs today, but they are home to the bottom side, we're away to potential champions with a magnificent home record, so let's no overreact should that happen.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 It was a pen, yes the chelski chav milked it but Collins shouldn't have gone in the way he did. Stupid challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dogg Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 why on earth would we take carew off? To keep the 4-5-1 formation and Gabby is a better lone striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 27, 2010 Moderator Share Posted March 27, 2010 Zirkov milked it, diving clearing in the woods It is to be expected. It was a stupid, ill-thought challange. Clumsy Collins at it again. Collins didn't make a challenge. He went over to make one, realised he'd got too close to the player and tried everything he could to get out of the way. Once Zhirkov spots him getting too close he knows he can nick it past him, make contact as he goes by and fall over for a penalty. Collins error was in getting near enough to allow him to do it, ultimately it's a dive, but one that will be given nine times out of ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__pedro__ Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 It was a pen lads, forget about it. Need to get Ashley on the ball in the 2nd half. Milner needs to be pushing up in behing JC too, with Stan and Sid in behind he can afford to play a bit more adventurously. Malouda would have had Cuellar on his arse several times already. Still think we can get something here, C'MON!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
