Shearergol

Need a new centre back asap

Goalkeeper makes a great save from shelvey.

They onviously won't be a partnership next season like. Dummett might stay LB but no chance Goufran is our first choice LW. And/or then

If Dummett and gouffran play for us next season we'll go down. Such a weak flank.

Dummett at fault for all 3 of their main chances.

7-0 away win

The linesman and 4th official have been dropped until further notice.

Spurs fan at work is convinced Barca are about to steal Pochettino.

21. John Marquis 20. Pontus Jansson 19. John Akinde 18. Glenn Murray 17. Erhun Oztumer 16. Omar Bogle 15. John Morris 14. Tammy Abraham 13. Jonathan Kodjia 12. Wes Hoolahan 11. Billy Sharp 10. Fernando Forestieri 9. Scott Hogan 8. Lewis Dunk 7. Conor Hourihane 6. Aaron Mooy 5. Chris Wood 4. Tom Cairney 3. Jonjo Shelvey 2. Dwight Gayle 1. Anthony Knockaert Aye, reet WTF?! :lol: :lol: Billy Sharp is better? Aye right. Wondering if they mean Josh Morris, not John (who I've never heard of). If so, that's based purely on his goal scoring run at the start of the season. He's been utter shit since December. The list is a poll of fans by the way, nothing more.

Yeah that's my understanding of it too.

That's not what he meant though, if I'm reading things correctly. Shearergol is saying that if the pen is put wide or in the back of the net, it doesn't matter if there is an encroachment. If we scored as we did, Gayles encroachment should have meant a retake. If Ritchie had missed but a Burton player had encroached then it should have been retaken, if Ritchie had scored when a Burton player had encroached it should have stood. Players from both teams encroaching means a retake. The rules are understood. What I mean is Gayle's encroachment had no impact on the penalty. Had the penalty been saved and Gayle scored the rebound, that in my opinion is when the rule should be applied. I'm not doubting what the rule is, I'm stating what I think it should be. I know what you mean to be fair but personally i actually agree with this rule, or players will bomb in the box all the time before the ball is struck. Which wouldn't matter unless the ball rebounds. Suppose it might put the keeper or taker off though.

Encroaching should only come into play if there's a rebound. Why does it even matter if a defender is in the box if the player scores or puts it wide? It doesn't. Doesn't it? So defenders are allowed to do it??? Effectively yeah. If the goal is scored, the defenders' actions are rendered meaningless by the rule above. Think I've just misinterpreted your point tbh. Spot on Dave, the defenders action are indeed rendered meaningless if the goal is scored. I get that much. I'll give up now before it clouds the real debate.

Freekick taken from where Gayle is at this point

It was taken from where Gayle ended up. No it wasn't. so another new variation? He ended up on the other side of the box? Surely it would be on the box edge where he encroached Eh? Watch it. It was taken from EXACTLY where Gayle was. It 100% was. So it's as the kicks taken or hit the back of the net? There's a screen shot in this thread showing where Gayle is as Ritchie strikes the ball. The ref puts the ball where Gayle was at that point. It was taken from there.

Yeah. She scored too.

It was taken from where Gayle ended up. so another new variation? He didn't have a clue what to do did he.

It was replayed from the penalty kick, and another 2 minutes or something.

Only the final few minutes.
