AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I said penalty as soon as Colo ran into the guy, I knew it was the sort of thing that looked bad enough to be given in real time. Technically I think it's shoulder to shoulder, but it looked bad because of Colo's speed and angle of run. That's why I blame Colo (a bit) for being reckless.

Zero Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Nothing to do with any agenda from me like, I think this is the first time I've even complained about Coloccini in this thread but I think it was an utterly daft thing to do. Fletcher had him beat and Elliott had it covered, he stopped making a line for the ball and went for Fletcher, it wasn't an accident. Whether or not it was the right decision I had my head in my hands as soon as it happened, I knew there was chance it was going to be given. Exactly how I felt. Didn't think it was a pen. Still don't. But when he did it and Fletcher went flying and the local inbreds were all up in arms, baying for blood. I immediately feared the worst. I just couldn't believe he went in like that. Totally brainless. Same here. It is really meaningless. Why do we need to be in this situation? It would be a lot better if Fletcher really got control of the ball and Colo made a risky attempt.

Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Thought he was good until his brainfart. While he struggles defensively his composure on the ball helps us to build play from the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
quayside Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 The trouble is we all know if this incident had involved Vincent Kompany, Koscielny or Smalling it would not be given. And despite Mourinho's persecution complex it wouldn't be given if John Terry does it either. And if those players are playing at their home ground Steven Fletcher probably gets booked for diving Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 It's never ever a foul - I can't believe people think it was?! He was playing really well until it happened - joke of a decision! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I'm not even too sure on the rules, are they set in stone? It was a shoulder barge with no player in control of the ball and Coloccini didn't gain control of the ball immediately after it (although Elliott did). I'm inclined to think it was fair because we see it all the time when players are shepherding the ball out of play like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 It's never ever a foul - I can't believe people think it was?! He was playing really well until it happened - joke of a decision! Yup. In slow motion you can even see Fletcher leaning into Coloccini first, and just bounces off him and falls over like the soft s**** he is. In that specific angle Coloccini makes no "charge" towards the bearded fanny, and simply stays his course to protect the ball into the hands of Elliott.

midds Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Waste of time. He was clumsy and had he defended it properly then the ref wouldn't even have had a decision to make. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beezeri Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Colo should be dropped from the line-up anyway. Maybe we have no decent backup but it's way too many times Colo's been at least partly guilty for conceding an easy goal. He's no leader at all(the least with his performances on the pitch) and a few games on the bench might do some miracles. No point playing 33 years old veteran when we have couple of young players with some potential waiting... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Colo could literally walk off the field 20 minutes into a game in order to catch a flight to Argentina and Paully would still come out with the old 'playing really well until' spiel.

Embarrassing. Would suggest arguing to the contrary is embarrassing yesterday. He was perfectly solid and was sent off for a valid piece of defensive work.

Interpolic Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Just catching up. Surprised so many people say it was a pen and not a red. If there's any chance of the attacker getting to that ball first then them's the rules if it is deemed a foul, and you couldn't categorically say he wouldn't have done there. My main concern was whether it was a foul or not. In my view it was what I've always thought was a legal shoulder barge. That happens 5 years ago, or as the defender is trying to shepherd the ball out of play then nothing would be given. Regardless it's his own daft fucking fault for putting himself in that position. Would far rather he'd not even made contact and not taken a risk. That goes in and we'd have still won the match imo, we looked by far the better side even with 10 men.

Ronaldo Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I'd forgotten being hideously outpaced by Steven Fletcher then needlessly barging him over in the box constitutes valid defensive work, like. I'd say that's shit defensive work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
