And, we’re off.......2018/2019

The ref is right to wait and see how it develops, if Salah somehow wrestled free and got a shot away and scored then it would stand.

If he missed then the ref can still award the penalty. That’s what I would do anyway.

If you really think the ref would give a pen without him going down you havnt been paying attention.
That’s why players go down because the refs don’t give it unless they do.
Salah has gone down and been criticised for it but if he dosnt he gets nothing.
How long did the Cardiff defender have hold of him it was a joke , but the ref never blew until he went down!
It might be what you or me would do but unfortunately not prem refs.

Like what?

Did you miss the wink at the end of my post?

As for what you've missed, you've obviously not kept up with Homers predictions this season.....

I might be wrong but I think it might have something to do with Homer's ability to jinx any outcome, no matter how certain, by predicting it to happen. Hence the "a draw and so end all of those years of hurt at Anfield" end to his post being met with those responses. For example with Homer's previous if he predicted Easter would fall on a Sunday next year then it would almost certainly be on a Wednesday.

I thought both responses were in jest with regards to that.

I believe it’s about Homer having a cloudy crystal ball - he has made a few predictions in the past during matches that ended up going to opposite way and it looked like his predictions were the mark of doom in nothing but a jovial way and it’s been a running joke from all sides for over a year now I think.

It was reported, and therefore I had to look into it,
Didn’t like the Antichrist reference and whilst I get the running joke, just thought that it went a bit far and was being ganged up on a tad

he is an easy target and often doesn’t help himself, just doing my bit to help endangered species 👍

Sorry but that’s not always the case.

Good refs spot and penalise an infringement regardless of a man going to ground.

Really good refs let play continue as long as possible to see if the attacker can score despite the infringement before blowing.

Of course it's not always the case, but the player being fouled isn't going to know whether the ref will give it or not as there is no consistency, and so much goes on in the box that isn't and should be punished.

If Homer was upset or offended by my comment then I profusely apologise.

As with me and I have messaged him. If it was not Homer, then whoever it was I publicly apologise to them now as it was never my intention to cause offence with the post.

Sort of, well sometimes 😎

I doubt Homer complained, he's got the skin of a rhino.

Would be interested to know if it was reported with a reason typed out or just left blank because it’s easy to click the report button when using a phone maybe it was done in error

Pair of bullies!

You 2 should make a vlog with Homer down at ascot to promote his channel as an apology.

I was entertaining family yesterday, so fleetingly watched the game, saw the slo mo of the penalty and let's just say that if it had been City and a penalty had not been given I would be livid. How long did he have hold of him. The fact Salah had to chuck himself down to get a penalty, well the decision to award a penelty should of been taken before that. As a defender you have to say it was poor, Salah had his back to the goal and enough time was used for others to get back.

If that is aimed at me sir that is the last thing that Martin needs for his channel. All of his hard work will be obliterated within 5 seconds with me appearing naked on the screen👍

Whilst he's gone down at the end like a scene from Platoon, I have to admit it was still a penalty

Agreed. And we have an array of wildlife to worry about

Isn't that sub-section g, part 4 of the rules of joining the forum? I thought it was a pre-requisite

Well you must be watching a different league cos there’s none of them in the prem.
Maybe in the past but not now.

Completely neutral and I want liverpool to win it. Can also see Conor Coady scoring a cracking og on the last day of the season.
