The Footie Thread

[hairball_89]

I disagree. Salah didn't have any intention to make a challenge to win the ball. If he had he would have made an attempt to jump. He was looking for contact to get the foul and I'm glad that it wasn't given. Maybe in the future he'll actually try to win the ball rather than trying to win a foul.

While I agree with you and don't think it's a foul. what's your opinion on Kane's "signature" back into the player in the air while he stays firmly on the deck?

The one against lallana at Brighton where he got a pen for taking the man in the air out sticks to mind.

That surely is the epitome of "winning the foul not the ball"? I know it's different circumstances. And as I say, not a foul on Mo, for me. It's a contact sport and he should be fighting for it

Not seen 99.9% of the Fulham game, but re Salah, him and sterling are 2 peas in a pod. Strong as an ox outside of the box. Jellyfish inside the box.

Oh dear tashy, this was outside the box ?

Kane should be penalised and booked for doing it as he has no intention of playing the ball. He watches the opponent and waits for him to jump and then backs in to him. And yet for some reason the refs buy it. I hope I'm wrong but someone is going to get seriously hurt before long by landing awkwardly.

Oh, and @fundy, yesterday was a beautiful day down on the South Coast. Went for lunch at the Bankes Arms. As December days go, flipping awesome.

Is that the pub across the ferry from Sandbanks?
If so, I've spent many an hour in there drinking far too much, and if my memory serves me, they used to have a fantastic juke box with loads of rock music available!
What a pub .............................. if that's the one you're talking about.

Thing is though Kane has done this for a while now .
Just bad reffing ,they don’t know what’s a foul and what isn’t now.

The difference is Kane actually got the foul. Salah's one today was a bit of a flounce, nowhere near enough for a free kick. If you're going to ignore the ball and try and get a free kick, especially on the edge of your own box, then you have to do it properly and make sure you win it.

Leicester been superb first half, cracking hit from Maddison

Didn't want to post during the game given the "Homer jinx" but delighted at the first half performance where we could have had three and on a different day and a different ref had a penalty. Wasn't so happy to sit back as much as we did in the second half but we couldn't have played at the same intensity and would have left gaps and Liverpool are too talented to not exploit them. We have been on an upward curve for a few games. Could do with Arsenal doing us a favour tonight and then a big game on Wednesday at home to Brighton

Its ok, your analogy of him suggests it would be a foul, that's good enough for me?
