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.

The wife thought he grabbed his nutsIn my opinion looked like he deliberately shoved his hand up EMC arse
That's what I thought but someone suggested it was finger poking.The wife thought he grabbed his nuts
He doesn’t obstruct him, he’s chasing the ball and is ahead of their player. Have you ever tried running without moving your arms?View attachment 47930

It's basically a sexual assault ! It needs reportingFurlong definitely grabbed him and got the reaction he wanted. EMC lost his head and just took his eye off the game. It was a plan and it worked, they knew EMC was the dangerman and done a job on him.
Hope he learns but reports Furlong as that should not be something a player gets away with.
Not a suprise, the ref pandering to their antics all day.View attachment 47925
Ball in play for just 45 minutes.
Well below the average of 55 minutes in the PL this season.
People saying "VAR gives it" and wanting VAR in the championship, should remember back a couple of seasons and what we are losing from the game with VAR.
Sooner have questionable refereeing decisions than VAR all day. Its a blight on the game.
I would rather have blatant mistakes like that corrected because they ruin the game more for me than a VAR check. Clear and obvious is what it was set up for.People saying "VAR gives it" and wanting VAR in the championship, should remember back a couple of seasons and what we are losing from the game with VAR.

yeah VAR is a good thing, how much it is used isn'tI would rather have blatant mistakes like that corrected because they ruin the game more for me than a VAR check. Clear and obvious is what it was set up for.

Fuck me... we'll be golden when it evens out over the season!
Probably get accused of some kind of disloyalty for this. Their (horrible) player gets to the ball first, heading it past Haji, who can't get out of the way, resulting in the Ipswich guy being smashed backwards to the ground by Haji's arm, and that's why their legs tangle. I presume that's how the ref saw it.

Is there a replay of this?It’s sexual assault. I’m sure you could get a player to lose his head by committing all kinds of crimes. I hope EMC reports it to the police.

VAR doesn't even get it right half the time. And it's up to the VAR team what the referee ends up reviewing.I would rather have blatant mistakes like that corrected because they ruin the game more for me than a VAR check. Clear and obvious is what it was set up for.
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.He doesn’t obstruct him, he’s chasing the ball and is ahead of their player.

they clearly show a largish gap between the defender and haji which the defender then closes and stumbles intio hajiAt the point of the obstruction I'm talking about, he definitely isn't chasing the ball.

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.

Fair enough, and like I say on another day we might have got it. But there are an increasing number of different versions of this stonewall pen on here now.they clearly show a largish gap between the defender and haji which the defender then closes and stumbles intio haji
it's a stonewall everyday of the week pen
I agree. It's like you said before, he moves "across" the defender.This is the best video - shows that Haji is not actually moving "towards" the defender
with a clear gap in between them when he makes the moveI agree. It's like you said before, he moves "across" the defender.
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
Always love the same fans who say the refs are incompetent insist that the solution is to give the same refs even more leeway to control the flow of the game and make big decisions based on what another ref watching on telly has seen.People saying "VAR gives it" and wanting VAR in the championship, should remember back a couple of seasons and what we are losing from the game with VAR.
