England Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 I don't think the ball was "in play" as the ref hadn't blown his whistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipps Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 I don't think the ball was "in play" as the ref hadn't blown his whistle.←The ball was in play, the ref had blown for us to take the freekick and then once it had been knocked into the middle, the ref blows again for the foul.I mentioned this on Saturday to a few people I was watching it with.So as far as I'm aware, it should have been a penalty!!

brady bunch Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 yep a missed penalty no doubt, the ref had a good game, but the ball was in play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Apparently the commentators on TV were puzzled why it wasn't a pen aswell. They said something like 'Bridges stayed on his feet to be fair. Maybe if he had gone down... But who would have taken it?! Gillespie I think?'

Nibor Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 That ref was a complete prima donna and made a number of bad decisions. Completely over officiated the game.Nibor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSR Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Agreed he pushed Skuse in the face which in turn should have been a penalty?or am i wrong bridges was just in the mox but skuse was the reason he sent him off i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted September 6, 2005 Admin Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Was interested about this so have just watched the incident back.The referee is CLEARLY heard blowly his whistle to take the free kick (meaning the game has re-started), but before Scott Brown kicks the ball the ref has blown his whistle for a second time after seeing the incident. So YES it SHOULD have been a penalty.The swing was aimed at Michael Bridges, the interesting thing just before the free kick is taken there is a close up on Bridges you can see him talking at the defender "It Appears" by his expression he is winding him up - so maybe the player just reacted to that....It is safe to say the sun got to the ref Saturday as there were many other strange decisions given by him.

It is only back in play after it has traveled it's full circle. Therefore it pains me to say it but the ref was correct on this occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laner Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 It is amazing how many people who watch and play the game do not know many of the rules←I agree. I remember watching an England game on the TV once years ago with Brian Clough as co-commentator.The actual commentator was confused about why a free kick had been given from a Goal Kick (the ball had not left the Penalty Box before it was played by an outfield player... or something like that).Good old Clough starting his comment saying... "Well if you knew the rules of the game..."Brillant TV, although I don't remember him being asked to commentate much after that!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
