Rossi the Robin Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 I missed the first seconds so didn’t realise the ball was there. Thought the victim was just walking along minding his own business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Brilliant! Lansbury knew exactly what he was doing, and deserved a red, but the Swansea player also deserved a kick for his actions. Players doing that when the opposition have a free kick needs eliminating from the game - refs need to take a harder line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep should have been a yellow to Swansea player assuming Lansbury was “trying” to take a free kick I say trying like that because I assume he was intended to cause a situation because the player was impeding the kick, typical shit housing when a player stands over a free kick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YGBjammy Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 100% a red. Reckless and dangerous, knew exactly what he was doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingswood Robin Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 The ref blew the whistle, he's free to take the free kick. If you're stupid enough to step in front of someone as they are about to strike a dead ball, expect to get walloped! Once the refs indicated he can take the kick, he's free to take it and under no obligation to look out for someone acting like a wally. As for assault, it's football not tiddlywinks. Yellow card and a cold sponge for the Swansea player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Cut the man some slack. He's got a bit of a chip on his shoulder because he is shite. Nice strike the other night though, to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBris_Southstand Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 It probably should be a red, but I bloody loved it nonetheless. Good on him I say, the gamesmanship around free kicks happens multiple times every game and the refs do nothing. The new refs directive is to let the game flow more, so they blow for less fouls. Yet apparently when they have blown up this consideration for letting the game flow goes out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marmite Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 When a player kicks the ball away the ref should yellow card him automatically then tell him to go and get the ball and bring it back or he will get a second yellow for dissent. By the way, whatever happened to the rule that if you disputed a free kick, it was advanced 10 yards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveybadger Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Watched the first angle and thought he’s lost it and it’s a red. Then watched the last angle when you can see the Swansea guy toe it away and I genuinely think he wasn’t aiming to kick him directly. Possibly follow through and boot him as a result but not directly. so in short red card or nothing, not the yellow card fudge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Manning is completely at fault, Lansbury is looking upfield for players and then looks at the ball/floor, by the time Manning has nudged the ball away Manning doesn't have time to stop as momentum has started. No red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No if’s but’s or maybe’s - just book the player. It’ll soon stop! What, like players being booked for taking their shirt off when they score? They know its a booking and it happens all the time.

Should've been kept, but the officials just didn't implement it properly. Rather than ditch the officials, they ditched the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, whatever happened to the rule that if you disputed a free kick, it was advanced 10 yards? The reason the rule of advancing a free kick ten yards if it was disputed was dropped was because if the kick was awarded wide on the right or left of the pitch say 40 yards from goal and the defending team disputed it it was moved to 30 yards, so then they disputed it again so it became 20 yards, then it was disputed three more times so it became a goalkick.

spudski Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 I've been waiting for someone to do this in years...fair play I say. What's the point in a free kick, if the defensive team are allowed to reorganise. The attackers should be allowed to take it quickly. They've lost all advantage otherwise. Personally, I'd change the rules. Blow for free kick, but allow to be taken straight away without having to wait for the ref to blow again, or defence to reorganise.

I think most people that have played at any competitive level of men's football would have cheered that, i certainly did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
