JakeOTIB Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 (edited) I must be in the minority, but I genuinely thought that was a stonewall penalty… I was sat in Dolman E28 so it happened pretty much right infront of me and from that angle, it just looked blatant. Any one else agree with me or I’m I chatting a load of rubbish? Happy to be proved wrong. Edited April 13 by JakeOTIB 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And let’s be honest if Huddersfield hadn’t spent so much time feigning injury and trying to break up the play then the game would have already finished. For that reason I have no sympathy for them 33 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only seen it once & looked a handball but as you say, we wouldn’t have been playing then if they hadn’t wasted time repeatedly. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be fuming if that was given against us, I'm not sure it even hit his hand ! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packman Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Thought it was harsh, funny though as Huddersfield were a bunch of cheats imo. Hope they go down now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP thought it was a pen from his view and the ref agreed so that’s the most important thing. When I’ve had a chance to see it again I’ll let you know what I think Edited April 13 by Back of the Dolman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke_bristol Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 I’d be raging if that was given against us, he tried to make a sliding block and that’s a natural position for the arm to go because your head goes backwards as your torso goes forward, and instinctively your arm goes out prevent the back of your head whacking the floor. Huddersfield were fuming though, so it’s funny. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 I left with 30 seconds to go of the 5 added minutes , who knew She meant 10 ffs But looking at the highlights , the guy doesn't complain much , the Ref gives it straight away and every City player appeals . It seems a good shout , even though I still can't see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveF Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Looked harsh on the TV but we didn't get any good angles. Surprised so many people are moaning about their time wasting! The win was crucial for them and the two points dropped could see them relegated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as the pen delayed was delayed for 2 minutes I really don't think the played time was too much over the 5. But I expect Huddersfield will attempt to time it and make a point if they feel hard done by. The cheating barstewards. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the BBC gave the time as 90+10 , the added time was 5 minutes so as we were so shite 30 minutes before the end of the 5 I felt safe to leave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddersfield were fuming though, so it’s funny. I think what your referring to in this case is his right arm which protects his fall? The ball hits his left, which was flailing has he did a bit of a clumsy twist of the body to protect himself from the ball. (He dived with his left instead or right foot which turned his body) IMO - by the modern, current handball rules - it’s a penalty. Is it a ‘harsh’ pen, probably yes by old standards, but that’s the rules these days. Hence why in those positions players often choose not to dive in and instead try and block whilst holding arms behind backs. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I would be disappointed if this was given against us but the rules are the rules. i was in line with this & seemed so obvious yet all the Social Media meltdown are based on a poor tv angle. Well done Rebecca. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genghis Khan's pants Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 It was a penalty under the rules I guess but very harsh - defender has gone in to try and block a cross - is there any "conscious" decision by the defender to block the ball where his arm is - I would argue not - maybe there should be a review of what constitutes a penalty - sometimes I think penalties are far too much a "reward" for the offence.....plus I want Brum and Stoke to go down..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 I moved second half to that side of the Dolman so had a great view. It was definitely one of those that sometimes get given (today) sometimes don’t (us for about 3 years) Overall I thought the ref was pretty good today, seemed to have just the right amount of chat with the players and a sense of humour. Oh and she seems to have upset Joey Barton who’s making judgement on a persons whole career on one decision on one camera angle, so that’s good. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Cyril Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 I thought the ref was very bloody good today. The fact she paused to make important decisions might have made it look like she was influenced by players bleating, but I don't think that was the case. She might have also appeared as our first "homer" for years.... But that was only because of a rash of "anti-football" by an away team fighting to stay up. Good job and way better than the average ref we normally get at Ashton Gate. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
