Nonetheless that is a hilariously unnatural collapse to the turf. On first watch I thought Fammy was doing a flying kick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a difference between using your body to shield the ball, and what this defender is doing - which is using his outstretched arms to hold Famara from getting through. The more I see it the more it looks like a move from WWF,or whatever they call it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Still not sure. Only thing you CAN'T say (but i have seen people say) is that it is "definite", either way. Worst decision on the night was Pisano's goal being ruled out. That's when I started REAL:LY getting the hump with the ref. Still, made the lat bit more exciting, and nerve-racking.

Famara's feet are distracting to the naked eye because they're in front, and on their own it looks like he slips. The key thing is the QPR players feet, which are nowhere near the ball, making no attempt at a tackle, once Famara is goalside of him, that is not a fair challenge. I imagine had the QPR player actually touched the ball first, the ref may have been more sympathetic - but he makes no attempt on the ball, Fam outmuscles him.

robintherobin Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Walsall 87/88 two legged final Lost the first leg 3-1 at home (their third goal was in stoppage time as we threw everyone forward) Won the second leg 2-0 away Lost a penalty shoot-out to determine the venue for the replay. Lost the replay 4-0. Though when we did go up automatically in 1990 we did get our revenge by beating them 4-0 in the last game of the season.

Mr Popodopolous Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Penalty perhaps a questionable or at least debatable decision, but with the disallowed Pisano goal plus all the recent marginal calls i.e. Weimann's hattrick of disallowed goals during this run- probably due a shall we say not 100% certain call aren't we!

Not an obvious penalty, but if you then take into account the ref’s position, you could see why he did give it. Not a blatant / stonewall pen, but maybe not as soft as I thought.

I don't believe Fam had control of the ball and the defender gave the ref a decision to make when he really didn't need to. Would not have been happy if it had been given against us. It's not about control of the ball. If it was, then what about all the penalties given when the striker takes the ball round the keeper, overhits it so it will be going out for a gaol kick, but the keeper brings the striker down as he goes past? The defender gets his arm across/around Famara's middle, under his arm pits, thereby preventing him going for the ball. It is this holding that causes FD's feet to come up off the ground as his body pivots around the defenders arm. You could argue that FD made the most of it, but there was a definite hold, unlike Gayle's swallow dive in the West Brom game. If the penalty had been awarded in the 50th minute, mots fans would say they've seen them given. When it's the 90th minute then it becomes hugely contentious and the defeated club will always argue as QPR have done, and I'm sure we would have, had the positions been reversed. I used to play as a striker, so tend to see things from that perspective, but wonder whether other fans perhaps see incidents like this more from a defenders point of view?

I used to play as a striker, so tend to see things from that perspective, but wonder whether other fans perhaps see incidents like this more from a defenders point of view? For me, it’s a bad touch from Fammy and the ball gets away, The defender to start with is ahead of Fammy who them uses his strength and a fair bit of tussling to get ahead just about. Both players are as bad as each other really, and then they both go down. It’s not a dive for me, but it is six of one and half a dozen of the other and could equally be given as a free kick the other way. Let’s say I would be mad if it was given the other way. Also on reflection, Taylor does clearly back in to the defender on the line as the cross came over that Eros puts it in the net from. Ref has seen it early and blown. One you might get away with a fair bit but not ‘wrong’ as such. Why I feel no sense of guilt about the result at all is the amount of pulling in the box which should have led to a penalty earlier, and a lot of cynical fouls they hit away with.
