toonarmy Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Went down easily, but was clearly pulled back from behind in a one on one with the goalkeeper situation. A pen every day of the week, except for Man U day.. It probably would be called a penalty for any other team, but I don't think it should be. Penalty should be given if the player is attempting to score, not looking to go to ground, which Pedersen clearly was (and no idea why Pedersen did, he could easily have stayed on his feet and been one on one with the keeper).

Greg Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Great free kick from Ronaldo. First time in ages he's not hit the wall. Was it as good as Greg's? That one didn't hit the wall either. I'll have you know I scored a screamer today, 25 yards out, hit both posts and then the back of the net, beauty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Went down easily, but was clearly pulled back from behind in a one on one with the goalkeeper situation.

Penalty should be given if the player is attempting to score, not looking to go to ground, which Pedersen clearly was (and no idea why Pedersen did, he could easily have stayed on his feet and been one on one with the keeper). Strange that. There are other reasons why a pen can be given, even hand ball without immediate danger of the opposition scoring. I don't understand the theatrics when there is a clear foul like this. As far as I am concerned MGP should have just stopped running, pick up the ball and put it on the spot. Stonewall penalty for what the defender was trying to do: hold him back by the shoulder in a one on one with the goalkeeper when he was already beaten.. You could even argue last man, and a red (would have been if it was outside of the box; what makes it less of a foul inside of the box?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

indi Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Haha, Man Utd went leet minutes without letting one in. Didn't know what leet meant so I googled it and this is what wiki says: l33t or Eleet (sometimes rendered Leet, 1337, or 31337), also known as Leetspeak, is an alphabet used entirely by losers... Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet Honestly not implying anything, by the way Dave, it just amused me that was what it said and that it hadn't been picked up and removed by anyone. Some of the examples are amusing and one of them's so close to the infamous sandwich line off here and all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmonkey Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Keita sent off for Barcelona. Ridiculous decision by a referee who has completely lost control of the game.

Shak Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Useless decision. Barca surely will take of Etoo or Henry at half time and bring on another midfielder. They've got a 4-2-3 going at the minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could even argue last man, and a red (would have been if it was outside of the box; what makes it less of a foul inside of the box?) I guess I should have been more clear-I meant in those kinds of situations only, handballs and the like are different. Rafael might have had the intention to hold back MGP, but he didn't in the end. You are allowed to put your hands on a player as long as you don't impede them, and MGP simply felt a touch and went down without ever actually having been impeded. Also, I actually don't agree that a foul outside the box should be held 100% to the same standard as a foul in the box, because the results are different. If they were indeed the same, then just like any other foul, the affected team should be given a free kick at the spot of the foul, instead of a special situation of a free one-on-one with the keeper. A penalty is a special situation. I don't see why something like a foul created by stepping on a players foot when he wasn't involved should result in a penalty just because he was inside the box.
