Magalhaes is doing absolutely nothing except blocking Evans from getting to the ball. His movement in the video is not the movement of a player trying to get to a ball or move into a better position. His wide stance gives away that he does not plan on being moved. He doesn't even attempt to jump...

Great picture. Not seen that. I'd be insterested to see the entire vid from that angle. 50/50 if the ball has entered play but yes be a hard sell for a defensive FK if it had. Like I said the grappling in the box is ignored. I'd be all for the likes of this being called a penalty.

Sky showed an edited clip of this that pretty much started with Evans reacting to having been held almost the entire flight of the ball. The 3 mins Skysports highlight clip on YouTube shows it better. Def a foul on Evans but we all know holding in the area is pretty much ignored. As for ETH, if...

That's such a good picture. In my mind the ball was much further away when he is fouled.

Is the fact I think VVD is comfortably cutting out that pass if he doesn't foul the player any consideration? The foul is so long before the ball gets there it's hard to know what was going to happen. Prob the right decision. Also, personal attacks were made at Southerner before and Mods are...

Can't wait to hear your opinion on the nail on penalty not awarded to Utd today I wonder if the referee and VAR official involved will be stood down next week? That's how it works right?

Lol, some stretch that. Absolutely belongs in Gen refereeing chat. I'll go back to shouting at clouds now.

Why is this in "As seen on TV"?

Referee has been absolutely played there. Defender practically has him in a choke hold and the ref is doing nothing, then sends of the retaliation that is always going to happen. I'd have been going crazy on my whistle to show I've seen what the defender has done. Red for both or caution for...

Not much will happen IMO. All part of the theatre in the view of the authorities. You are some piece of s**t to behave that way when a man has his little kid with him. Absolute scumbags.

Absolutely shouldn't be given. Absolutely would be given in the EPL, ECL and World Cup thanks to some idiots that decided the laws needed tweaking.

Please point out the personal attack on that post. I would have thought someone so abrasive, argumentative and arrogant would be less sensitive. Sad thing is, you're going away thinking you've nailed this. I can't help you. Become a politician, you'd excel.

I can only assume you deliberately ignore parts that discredit YOUR OPINION on purpose. You do this continuously on this forum and it's quite disingenuous (and very annoying) I have answered your point. Can't help but feel you're just looking for an argument when you post on here.

You must have watched a bad angle because you are way off. Do you think it likely an AR just randomly elbows a player as he walks past him?

I'd accept a 3 game ban for the AR. Maybe 6 as he is an official. Anything more is excessive. Games have to be refereed with a lower burden of proof or we would almost never be able to send anyone off. This incident is not really part of the football match is it.

Ha, true but he'll be missing out on his match fee (about £1k?). But yeah his contract will probably state he isn't guaranteed any games.

He uses the word assumption because that video is not proof of a man deliberately elbowing someone in the face.

Interesting how not one judicial system in the free world works like that. In a football match, sure, a reason given by a player for SFP or VC is usually completely irrelevant. The laws allow the ref to be judge, jury and executioner for the sake of a game to finish in 90 mins. But this is...

Grabbing the arm of someone who has walked past you is pretty high on the aggressive act scale. I encourage all those of you calling for the AR's punishment to try this at work or, even better, your local supermarket and report back to me how you get on. This is quite clearly an instinctive...

Happy to see a normal man lose his income but would be aghast if a millionaire footballer was banned for life for elbowing a ref! Utter, utter cretins.
