Villarocker Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 2 minutes ago, OutByEaster? said: Okay, lets then break it up - you're right, getting the ball doesn't mean not a foul. In this case, Cash gets to the ball first and plays it - there isn't a foul in that action, so the foul must be in the next bit - but the thing with the next bit is that the West Ham player is nowhere near getting the ball, which Cash has juts played away from him - so it's a tangle, a tangle in which I think you'd have to go some to claim that Cash was preventing a player getting to a ball that was moving away from and already out of his reach. There simply isn't a foul there. None of which matters anyway as the morons at the Premier League have apparently said it's a penalty because Cash didn't make significant contact with the ball. This is the worst officiated league in Europe - it's scandalous. Sometimes I wish our manager was a little less classy. Spot on, OBE! Explain to a 10 year old's team forward that he may be taken down in the box by an opposing defender, without the defender touching the ball, but it won't be a penalty. Then, turn to your teams' defenders and tell them they might win the ball in their box but the attacker wins a penalty. Make that make any fooking sense, please?

Herman22 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 The proper cheats of the league, the Fernandes and Saka type players must be loving the step back in time. If you dive but the ref is gullible enough to give it the VAR won’t bother getting involved. Remember the simpler times when we thought VAR was being brought in to get to right decisions. Now it’s to tell refs who give the wrong decisions that they are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osirus Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 This is the test now, can we push on and win this game, which admittedly we should be as we've been the mutch better team, The lack of match fit striker might do us, but I think Emery has got this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him being less classy wouldn't help us. I don't know how he does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calcifer Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 1 minute ago, villanmac said: **** redknapp. The ref gives it because he didn't see a touch of the ball which is fine because he's behind and there's bodies in front of him. So the premise is he gives the pen cos he thinks cash hasnt touched the ball. As soon as VAR sees he has decision should be overturned. Redknapp isn't gonna be impartial is he? He's a hammers fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defenders are allowed to do stuff like that, attackers usually not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 1 minute ago, The_Steve said: this is a foul on Cash for me in the build up. He’s jumping into the man and using his on his shoulder for advantage. How the f**k is that not a foul on Cash? Honestly, this game is just so corrupt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East London Villa Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 "Not a clear play of the ball" is the most subjective bollocks I have ever heard. Whatever you think of this specific decision, that is just going to cause huge confusion going forward. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Other Mat Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 (edited) I think the Ref gave it because he wasn't certain it was a peno. You could tell be his reaction after he blew the whistle. But instead of VAR clearing it up they've gone and given it because they don't want to interfere. The system is completely broken.

MrBlack Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 2 minutes ago, OutByEaster? said: The player takes him out as he clears the ball. Cash is in the act of playing the ball and the contact happens. Cash is fouled. I dont disagree with that sentiment, I'm just saying this is what Ref/ VAR will see and claim. They'll always side with the attacking team at home in a call like that. Cash knows this. He knows they're unreliable and shit. He also knows that Soucek isn't going to score from where he is. But he regularly acts without thinking.
