Wright penalty decision (17 Viewers)

[Brighton Sky Blue]

with a clear gap in between them when he makes the move

we are going around in circles here so i'll leave it now but it's one of the clearest pens i've seen in a long time

Well, since the Charlton game. Scratch that, since Southampton.

The Woolfenden one, which I didn't see in real time, is ridiculous. What stage was the game was at? I'd like to see far more of those given as pens.

 

[Warwickhunt]

Not that I’ve seen

I got the recording from sky q I will try and capture where he stuck his finger up his arse

 

[Liquid Gold]

It makes it all the more frustrating that the ref was blowing for every little falling over on every other area of the pitch.

If it's a foul in the centre circle it's a foul in the penalty area and if it's foul play on 50 minutes it's foul play on 3 minutes.

The guy was a disgrace.

The ball has been headed past Haji. In turning to chase it, he obstructs their player which knocks him to the ground. The ball's not within playing distance, so it's not shielding. Accidental on the part of both players.

Oh come on

If what some are saying about what happen to EMC you would expect the club to raise it with the relevant authority’s.

Also EMC needs to learn to concentrate on his game rather than just trying to play the Man all night

You can honestly look at my screenshots in post #200 and not see even the possibility of an obstruction?

I say it every game, needs to park the physical battle sometimes, collect the ball on half turn and just run at them. Did it once first half and scared them shitless

I’ve not seen a foul given for obstruction in a very, very long time, haji got his body in front of the defender and the defender scissored him (so to speak). From the other angle defo looks a pen

What’s dones done though, hopefully we’ll start getting the rub of the green soon

the video also shows haji isn't close enough to furlong to obstruct him

I still can't see it he's clearly in advance of the player, he's already in advance of him and the guy is already manhandling him?

These are better screenshots.

At the point of the obstruction I'm talking about, he definitely isn't chasing the ball. Their player is running, Haji is turning. I agree with David O'Day that he "moves across the defender", but the point is you can't do that when the ball has gone past you. The obstruction isn't deliberate, and nor is the consequent tangling of legs as their player is knocked backwards.

Would have been nice to get a pen at that stage of the game though, and on another day a ref might give it because it all happens in a split second.

they really aren't as the videos shows it to be very different

Well the officials didn't see it that way, so it's a pointless argument anyway.

My wife was watching it on Sky and the commentators and pundits didn't think it was a penalty.

Haji's turning around across the path of a running player, he's not "already in advance of him" in a foot race. If he was and the guy simply brought him down from behind it would be a stonewall pen. If the ref hadn't seen the first contact, which knocked their player backwards, he would obviously have penalised the second.

 

[wingy]

It was furlong again wasn't it, the same furlong who got away with one on the wing down at their place very early on, l guess it comes down to naivety, and if you still doubt it has anyone noticed the subjective opinions of the sky pundits, the truth is we must all see a different game.
If Bidwell or.whoever.makes that challenge we all applaud.him right ?

 

[coop]

He Wraps his foot around Hadji clearly and brings him down that is 100% a penalty.

4th picture shows him starting to lung at right and then Wraps his foot around him to bring him down.

They said it was a 'coming together'. It really wasn't.

I put it on the page "is Furlong a fudge packer" if you want to see it

Yep I saw it as well, wondered if he was going for the ball sack but unlike Vinnie's action was taking the reat route, referee only wanted to see what he wanted to see..

Hinchcliffe never seems to think a penalty is a penalty! He thought the same in the Soutampton game when Harwood-Bellis fouled Wright & despite the 3 pundits in the studio thinking differently. I think he would see the foul on MVE from a few weeks ago as not being a penalty either, just as he proclaimed that foul on Woolfenden wasn't one because they were tugging each other, and despite there being no evidence that Woolfenden was doing anything of the kind.

 

[robbiethemole]

Hinchcliffe has always been a toss bag

 

[wingy]

I'm going to open it up again as was it Furlong,think it was and the thing that convinces is that as he's placed his left foot just Infront of Haji he pulled him back at the same time .
This is evident as Haji's upper went backwards before going down, unless I've missed something Calista?

You can't see what I see, and vice versa. So perhaps we've both missed something

Only the ref's view matters anyway, and he was in a very good position to see and "feel" both contacts as they happened.

 

[Nick]

Imagine if we were awarded penalties for as little contact as the one Chelsea have just got.

We would have had at least 10 more penalties this season.

Maybe the issue is that it isn't "slight contact" on our players so doesn't count?

 

[stevefloyd]

I'm not saying there's a conspiracy, I'm saying we're consistently on the wrong end of very poor refereeing desicions, our league position is irrelevant.

If you think we're not I'd like to hear how you've come to that conclusion.

Against Ipswich alone we've had the Hirst non sending off and tonight's penalties not given.

The thing is these referees are human and make mistakes but the standards these days is absolutely shocking the useless refs are actually costing managers their jobs and robbing fans too but they don't appear to be held accountable at all and continue to fuck up, to be fair they are not being helped by the cheating diving bastards but when a referee is looking straight at an offence and apparently don't see it you have to wonder if they have a bet on it

 

[Gleneagles65]

We were well beaten, move on to Charlton.

 

[Marty]

On the emc thing

I haven't seen it, if that's what has happened, I would have no complaint with EMC just getting up and smashing his teeth down his throat.

If you're referring to 'these referee's' as being human, you're doing a great disservice to us genuine humans.
You ill informed other species, you.

 

[skyblue_55]

They say things even there selves up over a season , so we are in for a good few sending off’s & a shit load of penalties coming our way

Penalties possibly, SO's we've had about 3 already.

It is and if that is obstruction you have watched very little football. Haji is ahead of the player and running towards the ball. Every defender does worse on every attack
