Could've easily hurdled over the flipping thing, can't believe he failed to see it tbh. Guess it must have been accidently left there following a earlier free kick or something.

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Normally I'd say this is the referee's call, but in this case it is so obviously not a penalty, and Sterling must have known it wasn't a penalty, that I really think the player shoudl have 'fessed up to the ref. Whether the ref would have taken any notice is another matter, but Robbie Fowler did it once, didn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Sheene Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 I am shocked that Man City had the nerve to take the penalty and score from it. The Referee has obviously made an honest mistake which all the players were aware of so man City should passed the penalty to the Keeper or hit the corner flag or even skied over the bar in the name of sportsmanship. 9 minutes ago, The Dolman Pragmatist said: Normally I'd say this is the referee's call, but in this case it is so obviously not a penalty, and Sterling must have known it wasn't a penalty, that I really think the player shoudl have 'fessed up to the ref.

EmissionImpossible Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 I don’t understand this reaction to Sterling, seems to be what happens to the poor guy. I can only remember one player ever saying it wasn’t a penalty and that made no difference. The guy seems to get hounded a hell of a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then everyone would be talking about the incident and him in a positive light today. And questioning how bad the officials were to have not spotted it? Do they still have those so-called 'officials' behind the goals in European games? The ones with the poles (no flag) who do b*gger all to help with anything during the game. Be interesting to see if they saw anything (clearly not I guess). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNasty Filth Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Agree, he should've pointed it out to the ref, but after listening to a former player yesterday, he said that it would be pointless, as all referees will not reverse the decision at the risk of having their authority and decision making questioned, which in European competition would be even more so because of the cultural football barriers that exist. So in that respect, don't really blame sterling tbh, but like others have said, it would be nice to see some morality shown here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw some Bundesliga highlights where a player looked like he was fouled but the attacker just lost his balance. The ref booked the player for a foul. The attacker went to the ref and told him it wasn’t a foul and the ref took the booking away and shook the attackers hand. It can be done right and this was less than a week ago. I am sure the referee lost little credibility if any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly why I believe he performs for Man City but not England. Whilst playing for England he plays with fear, fear of the whole nation hounding him for the smallest of mistakes.

If he’d stayed in the ground he would have won a penalty! Which bit of non-contact cause his legs to go out behind him? I've jumped over the goalkeeper in a similar situation, and never ended up horizontal without there being contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
