The 'other' penalty incident

[Guest ohsamisami1]

Did no one else think we should have had a penalty for the tackle that injured Riise?

 

He's just inside the box, crosses the ball and their defender then comes in with a very late challenge that got no where near the ball and took the man out.

 

I agree 100%, buts its like rafa said, if you want to analyse the game for all the incidents, then there were a few that should not have been over looked, the tackle on carra deserved a yellow card, momo got one for a lesser offense. Robbie was ajudged to have nudged that defender before shooting, (albeit he missed) and that tackle on risse was late and disgusting!

got the ball first.

 

good solid tackle.....just happened to injure him.

Agreed.

How did he get the ball first when it was half way across the penalty box by the time he went to ground????

Got the ball first? Riise crossed the ball over and then was totally cleaned out by the Sheffield United defender, blatant penalty.

If he did get the ball first Riise could never have crossed the bloody thing

[Sion]

I was amazed nobody else mentioned it. The commentators called it fair? if it was in the centre circle it was a free kick no doubt.

Didn't think it was a penalty at the time but would have been a foul anywhere else on the pitch so maybe...

[Guest JV]

Thought it was a peno at the time myself and nothings changed that. Also thought the challenge on Carra deserved a yellow card.

See I don't understand how those two statements don't conflict with each other.

[Gomez]

No. Sheff Utd were robbed. The Big clubs always get biased refs in their favour.

 

FFS you'd think some people don't read the papers.

Have you actually seen it?

 

What a load of f***ing b******s you speak sometimes.

They don't conflict in the eyes of many referees but they should.

i happen to agree with OM

 

Riise crossed the ball, the defender goes to tackle but the foot Riise had crossed with gets jammed under the defenders leg.. no foul for me..

Fairly sure that it was the standing foot that was caught, but regardless, if a defender goes to ground, doesn't get the ball but does get the man - that's a foul. If it happens in the box then it's a penalty.

[owenthomas]

you're wrong as well then!

And possibly had the foul on Gerrard been in midfield i don't think the ref would have given it. Ref saw it as a goalscoring chance and Gerrard lost his balance because of an attempted tackle that missed.

 

There were many inconsistencies during the game but i think the draw was a fair result

[Repington]

Alan Green thought that incident was a penalty as was the incident at a corner when Hyypia's shirt was almost removed; he was quite critical of the referee throughout for giving some odd decisions to Sheffield United players.

[Earl Hafler]

That was bizarre, reminiscent of Hierro on Quinn and yet the ref only spoke to Morgan...and to Hyypia ! WTF did Sami do ?!

 

If a defender or attacker does that whilst running towards goal, it's a foul ( usually ). Why won't they be more consistent and give them during corners ?

I got this s*** from a "friend"
