Guest firetotheworks Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I don't think I've ever seen so much effort go into something this clear cut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 It's about as a stonewall and clear cut penalty you can get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I think the real annoyance is that the obvious foul in no way disadvantaged the attacking player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexjack Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 IMO it was penalty. Good point tbf, because most of us predicted a defeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Long played for a pen and Lejeune fell for it hook line and sinker. Was a penalty yes, but if Lejeune had pulled out Long had played the ball out anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Cheating ffs He was just quicker to the ball, in the 0.00001 of a second he had to decide to go for the ball, I doubt he thought “if I boot the ball out of play, I’ll get kicked by this man and I can dive to the floor”. That’s exactly what he thought; clever play. Look at where he is on approaching the ball, he then turns his back towards Legeune wanting contact to come, he then only just catches the ball wuth his toe (look where the ball goes), he’s on his way down just before contact and then hits the floor and looks straight at the referee. Clever play. At no point does Long even contemplate actually beating Lejeune with the ball under control and be in towards goal. Surely everyone can see this. http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm253/nufcstu/4EB8AA67-A396-4816-9C39-BD235058F46F_zps3dygtfwu.png http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm253/nufcstu/B4B7F4CB-768B-434F-AFA5-EFAA0B907E27_zpsgmnut5jp.png http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm253/nufcstu/B3EB624C-6F69-4FAC-9324-B88322F6B997_zpskqjmjp72.png http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm253/nufcstu/E8FC3E2D-F051-4A9E-A84A-613BD6C9A43E_zpsxyh7yfcn.png http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm253/nufcstu/69EF1610-78D1-495C-9842-03F77309D90E_zps2ovnxnp8.png using your core to protect yourself from a challenge is a basic thing to do in football.

Hanshithispantz Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 If the ball is still in play and you hack someone down or greatly impede them it's a penalty. It doesn't matter if his intention was to hoof it out of the ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozy Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Anyone calling it cheating is just being salty. Long in that position has nowhere to go, his best outcome is to win a penalty. The fact he was able to draw the foul is good play from him and stupid play from Lejeune. It's a stonewall pen and I don't think any of our players / Rafa even argued the decision.

Ankles Bennett Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 No way was that a penalty. Long kicked the ball out of play so was not denied a goalscoring opportunity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Incredible that people don’t understand the most basic rules. It’s irrelevant who had the ball, the ball could have been on the moon. It’s still a foul if you kick your opponent to the floor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Him being denied a goalscoring opportunity decides the card, not whether it's a penalty or not. If being denied a goalscoring opportunity had any bearing on whether a foul happened there would literally never be any freekicks given 10 yards outside the box and beyond.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 2 points dropped from what I saw of the match, we've had worse days at Southampton so I would have took a point before the match, but we could have won this one which irks me. We are doing OK though, competing, looking a threat up front and showing great character, work ethic and team unity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ankles Bennett Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 If Long had kicked to ball out of play by the time the foul came in, should it not have been an indirect free kick in the box? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled in Texas Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 If Long had kicked to ball out of play by the time the foul came in, should it not have been an indirect free kick in the box? If the ball was kicked out of play before the foul was committed, then it would be a goal kick. And just a card (color TBD). You can only give a freekick when a foul is committed when the ball is in play. Out of play, and it's just a card. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
