The Footie Thread

Carragher spitting rubbish as ever. They had hold of each other in the build up. Soft penalty but no way a foul on the fluffy haired one.

Do you think defenders might learn eventually?

Hmmm. I’m no fan of Jamie Carragher but I agree with him on this one. That was very much six if one and half a dozen of the other.

Or is it perfectly acceptable now for a striker to drag a defender back by their shirt to gain an advantage, whilst the defender must remain squeaky clean?

That’s a very harsh decision for me.

Haaland was cheating on that one, but he got away with it on that occasion.

Good response by Chelsea

 

[Swango1980]

Got to say, Gallagher looks decent

 

[AmandaJR]

He talks cack. It's blocking now in the other box.

Anyway, Chelsea deserve the game to be level. We're off the pace and they're not.

If he had actually tried to defend and not rugby tackle then the ref doesn't have a decision to make. Haaland gets away with a tug but the other Chelsea defender clears it so it shouldn't impact if the guy just defends .

Let's say Haaland scores with a header, you then have to hope it gets ruled out by var for the initial tug.

Another straight red ignored for a studs up tackle in the Liverpool game. Haaland is given a penalty when he committed the same offence first. You can see why the “smaller” teams think VAR is rigged.

What was the straight for?

Haaland pulled down Cucurella first? That wasn't on my TV

He pulled him first. Cucurella didn’t dive.

Cucurella pulled Haalands shirt far longer than the other way around. And then pulled him to the ground. One player was savvy, the other naive.

Was thinking of it, thanks

Haaland can even score with his member . Some all rounder

That’s not how it works.

Think it was Matip diving in two footed.

Do tell how it does work then.

Decisions in football are now like PCC in golf.... the punters are just left scratching their heads!
