The Footie Thread

Maybe the ref & VAR got this right, though I’m not 100% convinced. A rhetorical question; if you jump and you’re on the way down do you put your leg out or do you bring it closer to your centre of gravity so you don’t fall when you land? Just asking… I don’t think it’s conclusive either way and I’d say it’s just a coming together.

As I said earlier - the little nudge on his waist while in mid-air throws him off balance and causes his leg to flail forward slightly.

That did cross my mind as if your feet were in front of your hips then bending them would bring your feet closer to you. He was so straight at the peak of his jump though that it would be a weird donkey kick to bring his feet towards him...I think.

I genuinely don’t know the correct answer but in my opinion he doesn’t make an effort to pull his leg back BUT, as I said, it’s inconclusive.
