Ner. Ref was spot on. The guy f***ed up and tried to make up for it by pulling him back. It was about 5 yards outside the box. You can give a penalty if the pull carries on into the box, but you can't go back after the striker has gone around the GK, to cross it. The advantage was over. It was either give the free kick immediately, give the penalty if you felt it carried on into the box. The length of time on the advantage was ridiculous, if you go back to the foul. How so? Thought the free-kick or pen is always given at the first point of contact. It's part of the rules of the game (refeering), you're told to give free kick for shirt pulling/holding immediately, but it's added that if a pull starts outside the box and continues into the box then you can give a penalty. The two conflict imo, but they're the rules and as a ref you judge them in your opinion in any given incident. If it was a tackle outside the box leading to the player falling inside it, that would be a free-kick? I can't understand the logic that an offence can happen outside the box and not be called, but when it happens inside, it's valid.

Outside the box.

Wtf

Newcastle reports increased sales of razor blades.

Future player Colback.

Dowd or Virgin?

Would have been relegated already if not for our generosity.

Happy Zouma. Unless he goes around calling players future France captains.

Is this the first season where the relegated teams most likely won't be confirmed until the last matchday? Shows how much dross this season has endured.

Nobody bothered to close him down.

Surprised there's no puns yet.

Poor Mata just can't catch a break.

Fulham scores.

They were absolutely s*** against us They were but they'll have a bit of confidence behind them now, as I said without that huge dip they'd probably be a doing a bit better. 39 pts as things stand compared to our milestone 46. Mojo might have paid out too early. They'll do well to get 7 points from two games. Vaguely recall the bet being Swansea will finish within 5 pts off us?

"Who needs Jay Rodriguez, we have your back four"

Enough time for Stones and Baines to chip in yet.

:lol:

It does, for their next fixture at least.

Everton better win this to keep up the pressure on Arsenal like.

Decent header too.

So great, we should name a country after him.
