Jayson

Purely because you dont want to be

Look at the pictures man, the guy has his bodyweight on his foward arm which is breaking harpers hold on the ball. Thats not minimal contact just because they dont smash heads together, it looks easier than it is.

You cant jump that high when you have no foward step, hes moving backwards In which case you have to question his positional sense as well then. This. The guy has looped it in far to high, thats why none of the defence has gone for it. Harpers standing between the middle and front of the goal, just where he should be as both strikers are on that side. You can keep goin on, theres no case against him. If there was id be making it, ive no reason to back up Harper.

Dangerous position to punch, if you misjudge it even a little it could land anywhere. Hes done the right thing. Of course he did the right thing. We won the game 2-1. Silly me. Not sure how the ref making a mistake makes it the wrong thing to do. Should fowards only run from very deep instead of breaking the offside trap just incase refs get the decision wrong? Its part of football, you do your bit & you expect them to get it right.

Spot on. Hes probably thinking the guys just gonna try to head it & he's gonna be able to catch it above his head as most keepers would. Hes not gonna be expecting an armbar is he. He cant run towards the ball as its coming down from a good height, he has to wait for it to fall into his hands. He even has to step back a bit. If he tips that over, thats a corner they can score from. He's done the right thing by trying to hold it & we were cheated by the ref.

Yep, lets see if Jayson is so honest. Already given my view on it and watched it several times, he was fouled clearly. Doesnt matter whether people think he could have done better to avoid the foul resulting in a goal. Ya shouldnt need to avoid a foul in the first place

If he catches it he either keeps it or we get a foul. People are only saying he did it wrong because of a refereeing error. Doesnt make much sense. If he'd not been fouled and THEN not caught it, people can have a go about it being the wrong decision. Otherwise he did nothing wrong atall.

Ive just seen it again, anyone saying thats not a foul is blind. The guys arm clearly comes across and pulls harpers right arm away as he's grasping the ball. If he doesnt do that Harper has both hands on it before the guy head goes anywhere near it & the challenge becomes a foul anyway as hes in possession of the ball. Go watch it again

I think Barton/Guthrie were both on the wings for the Cardiff/blackpool games thinking about it Bit ridiculous

Truth

Ameobi in goals a good shout

If ya did it from the half way line & you dived towards it, itd be pretty impressive. Perhaps even world class.

Had about a couple months to put that in Benayoun

And goal gerrard

Looking foward to him playing again, far more useful than Butt anyhow

He means sheff wed before today Which makes todays result look even better

Derby have won 2 games in their last 7, so thats pretty impressive if theyve not scored

Yeah thats right. Forgot they gave them a point on bbc cos the game was 0-0 when i looked. Last mins of that game anyway, so 8 behind us now. Their next game is Scunthorpe who've won 1 of their last 9. Boro beat em 3-0 today.

Id like to see that team a lot

If we just lay him down in their area he'd get a couple of rebounds still

Think half of you have blinked when the save was made It was stunning

Will be 4 behind us if they win their game in advance. Dropping points to Sheff wed man
