Exiled in Texas Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Strangely....In the penalty area, take a shot, then get cleaned out with a late challenge.....most players will have a quick gripe and then get up and play on. In the field, make a cross/pass, then get cleaned out with a late challenge.....and players will get up swinging. Late tackles seems to be a much bigger problem in the field rather than the penalty area where players expect a greater amount of physical contact. Despite there being no basis for it in the Laws of The Game.....there is definitely a different tollerance level inside the penalty area than outside due to the much greater likleyhood of the decision resulting in a goal.

Neil Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I've got to say, since the Reading game - and that was a pretty damn low point - things could hardly have gone any better. Even something like Remy, someone Redknapp "poached" from under your noses, now apparently being out for the rest of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Forgot what a bunch of deplorable pissflaps their supporters were until I read their match thred. Ultimately the argument about the tackle is inconsequential, it was accidental and any punishment would have been harsh. Could it/would it have changed the game? Possibly, but it didn't, there was no card, no penalty and we were good for our win. Ashamed to admit, I read the sun today, for the first time in over a year, surprisingly a good read, didn't dwell on any "contentious" decisions and rightly praised us for our win, took nothing away from our play and served to rightly praise Sissoko for his motm performance, leading with the headline £42.8 million less than Torres, now surely he should be worth twice as much! I rarely blame the ref for decisions as you win some and you lose some. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Spot on Matt, decisions aside we were the better team and apart from their two cracking goals they never reallty threatened (Ba chance ok). We played better football and counter attacked brilliantly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I mentioned this before but i took such enjoyment seeing how high our fullbacks were up the pitch. For quite a few reasons actually, firstly it forces our opposition backwards and helps maintain pressure and secondly with a lot of a teams only playing with 1 forwards these days its a bit of a waste having 4 defenders back at all times. I hope its a sign with things to come as if Santon and Debuchy are given that license they can be very dangerous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Such an antonym of recent performances and at a point we usually collapse on ourselves we came out fighting, glorious to watch. This performance was reminiscent of the second half of last year and long may it continue (hopefully)! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimpy man, you know I enjoy your posts on this forum. I'm no rule police - just felt like you all beat the living p*ss out of the dead horse with the Colo decision. You and some other posters have some fantastic knowledge of the rules based on your experience as refs, etc. I just like to point out - it went in our favor, there are no retroactive decisions, Ba came off and didn't hurt us later, we won, and Moussa is mint. Besides, your Mrs Bimpy posts have MADE my internet experience at times - even on the lowest of days supporting this club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memphis Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Some kind soul on a football videos site I frequent has uploaded the entire match in glorious HD without any commentary, just the crowd noise. Took the feed from Canal+ but somehow eliminated the commentary and kept everything else pristine. What a brilliant video. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
