Where was the blood pouring from the studs having hit his thigh?
Where was the blood pouring from the studs having hit his thigh?Course but when that recklessness ends with a stud to the inside of someone’s thigh it’s a little awkward to ignore
Subjective anyway
Yeah a still image is great, it makes it look like he's miles late after the player has gone by him. He's just kicked the ball and their player has actually gone into him.View attachment 33375

I just don't get how people are blind to it...
Because if a player runs into a player late which as a tactic has definitely become a thing!Had an outfield player attempted the same challenge I’m sure he’d have been sent off, not really sure why that makes a difference’ but to the ref I’m sure it does.
Keeper should have been booked minimum was very dangerous.

All I'm saying is he makes contact and that gives the ref a decision to make. I think it's way worse as his leg is locked out so rather than hitting and crumpling it lifts the player off the ground. The fact his leg only has one place to go is probably why the ref deemed it dangerous. At the time I thought it was a good challenge but where does there player go to avoid contact?Yeah a still image is great, it makes it look like he's miles late after the player has gone by him.

Where was he meant to put his leg after he stretched to kick it? He wasn't even going in the direction of the player, their player went into him.
I can't believe this is a hill you are willing to die on after everyone in the sky studio and Mark Robins said it was a pen I'd trust their judgement over yours any day of the week.anything can look worse in a freeze frame
i can't believe this is the hill you are choosing to die on? a shocking penalty to fucking leicester
D-H makes contact with him, it doesn't matter if he has nowhere to go though as it's still not a pen anyway you look at itAll I'm saying is he makes contact and that gives the ref a decision to make.

It's sideways his foot go sideways from the impact suggesting he really is lateView attachment 33375

Ok so what happens if a player kicks it and another player slides in late and gets kicked instead of the ball.All I'm saying is he makes contact and that gives the ref a decision to make.

If those stills showed a situation where Thomas had missed the ball and caught the man, then clear penalty and potential red card. However , that isn’t the case.View attachment 33375

that's the thing, if you applied the same logic that gave the pen yesterday there would be about 100 fouls a gameOk so what happens if a player kicks it and another player slides in late and gets kicked instead of the ball.
Their player was actually the one that initiated contact after the ball was kicked by Thomas. Usually a player kicks a ball and then another player goes into them afterwards it's a foul, isn't it?
Thomas has nowhere to put his leg after kicking it.
The player would have left his feet so wouldn't be at a normal height you'd expect them so I'd suggest no foul given. His boot doesn't strike their players foot it's a fair way up the leg which makes it different. I think there's a fair amount of Sky blue glasses being used here. Similarly although their keeper doesn't make contact with Godden he absolutely should have got booked.Ok so what happens if a player kicks it and another player slides in late and gets kicked instead of the ball.

Exactly. It doesn't show the context that he's just kicked the ball and their player has gone into him.If those stills showed a situation where Thomas had missed the ball and caught the man, then clear penalty and potential red card. However , that isn’t the case.
It isn't a red card I have repeatedly said that but on balance I think it is a pen.If those stills showed a situation where Thomas had missed the ball and caught the man, then clear penalty and potential red card. However , that isn’t the case.

It wasn't contact with his foot or shin it was his thigh I don't think you'd get away with it anywhere on the pitch.“he makes contact”
Its not netball!
It wasn't contact with his foot or shin it was his thigh I don't think you'd get away with it anywhere on the pitch.
He didn't initiate the contact Thomas dived across he carried on running straight. Thomas initiated the contact. Just because it was half a second after the ball was played doesn't make it less true.No if the player was on the floor through as he foot goes up could easily be at knee height.
The issue is that it was their player that actually initiated the contact, Thomas didn't go in on him thigh high after the ball had gone.
no, no it's not a foul anywhere on the pitchIt wasn't contact with his foot or shin it was his thigh I don't think you'd get away with it anywhere on the pitch.
Not if both players are going for the ball and have a chance of going for it. If it was a diving header in to someone's thigh I'm not sure how that would play out...Is a clash of heads always a foul?
he did though, Thomas is allowed to kick ball and doesn't have to move out the wayHe didn't initiate the contact Thomas dived across he carried on running straight. Thomas initiated the contact. Just because it was half a second after the ball was played doesn't make it less true.
Mate you are deluded if it was the other way round you'd be screaming.no, no it's not a foul anywhere on the pitch
only person who is deluded her is the fella arguing with the world because they made a bad call and is too proud to back downMate you are deluded if it was the other way round you'd be screaming.

Yes he kicked the ball and their player ran into him after he kicked itHe didn't initiate the contact Thomas dived across he carried on running straight. Thomas initiated the contact. Just because it was half a second after the ball was played doesn't make it less true.
Yet Thomas went for the ball and actually kicked it before their player actually got there.Not if both players are going for the ball and have a chance of going for it. If it was a diving header in to someone's thigh I'm not sure how that would play out...

How the ref doesn't even give a free kick for that is beyond me.
Their player runs straight Thomas makes the lunge.
