The_Steve Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Quite hard NOT to give that as a penalty. He moved towards the ball, raised his arm and brought it under control. Not sure how happy anyone would have been if that had happened yesterday with a QPR defender and we hadn't got a pen. Apart from the fact that Fletcher (the player putting Bassong under pressure in that gif) is offside as the ball comes in and influences how the defender is going to play the ball out, so it should of been an offside call and not a penalty, poor call. Plus it hits his chest first, not an intentional hand ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine, so you would have been happy if that hadn't been given as a pen. against QPR yesterday. Very magnanimous and I suspect quite a minority opinion.

briny_ear Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Plus it hits his chest first, not an intentional hand ball. It's very questionable whether it hits his chest, but, whatever,I must have missed the bit in the rules that says if a ball hits a player's chest first then it can't be handball if he subsequently controls it with his hand. C'mon guys, admit it - you're reinterpreting the rules of the game here 'cos you don't like MON, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Well well well.. Rose handball in the box penalty not given. MON is such a lucky manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Oneillaphobia - the irrational fear of playing players in there preferred position, most usually playing a centre midfielder at right back, despite having a perfectly good right back on the bench. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted March 17, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) hahaha... all the ironic cheers coming from Sunderland fans when MON decides to bring a striker on against 10 men.

dudevillaisnice Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 One of the worst games I have ever seen.. Sunderland really are terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mehman Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 From what I have watched the last few weeks and with their run home, Sunderland are in some deep, deep trouble. Typical MON late substitute when it could have been made 20 minutes earlier to better effect. Glad we don't have to put up with that anymore.
