Shadow Puppets Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Just now, Klaus said: Nah. For me he slipped/mistimed the header, and used his arm to stop the ball out of instinct after making the initial mistake. That’s basically what I mean. I don’t think it was a purposeful thing… instinctual maybe… Just seems harsh to miss another game / 3 for something so irrelevant. It’s not dangerous. It’s not malicious. It’s a momentary lapse that already cost us in one game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Was definitely instinct rather than deliberate, but it's worth appealing regardless of whether they extend it or not. The argument that he wasn't last man can be made as Longstaff was technically back, just not sure if that's even the criteria anymore. Last man usually means the last man before the 'keeper.

I think slipped, tried to header it, and reached out his arms as he fell down. I don’t think the intention was ever to catch the ball. From memory, you're right, but there was effectively two hand balls. That happened, and then secondly he began to instinctively shepherd it with his forearm for a split second. Accidentally deliberate, so to speak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes his eyes off the ball when he goes to head it and after that I just think it was natural keeper instinct for handling the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's any chance at all we should appeal. Best case scenario we get Pope back for the final, worst case we have Dubs in goal against City.

ScottishMagpie Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Can we not argue he's served most of his 1 match suspension already? Just have him not play the first 20 mins of the final. Start the other lad and make a sub.... Add that and tonight together and voila... you have 1 match punishment. No? Well, thought it was worth a shot!

"Last man" has never been part of the rules, it's "denying a clear goalscoring opportunity" For me there's absolutely zero chance of getting that overturned, it's a clear red. It's a red if you're fouled when clean through on goal against the goalkeeper, Salah is clean through against Sean Longstaff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) It was a blatant red card. Goal keepers simply can't handle the ball outside of the area. Imagine playing against a team who's keeper does that and gets yellow card Absolutely no chance of winning an appeal.

In fairness, the bit where he deliberately scraped the ball away from Salah's feet, back in to his chest, looked fairly unintentional, shocking call from the Ref really.

Last man or not is nigh on always used as part of the argument for whether it's a clear goalscoring opportunity or not. Agree, re the bit in bold, that's what I meant when I was saying it doesn't include the 'keeper. As frivolous as it might be, it's probably worth the gamble in the circumstances Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read Howe was suggesting it was a yellow, imagine that, the other way around, we would be furious. I think the red would be easier to accept if missing the final wasn’t the case….

TheBrownBottle Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 It’s worth the gamble of appealing as its almost zero-risk, but the notion that it isn’t a goal scoring opportunity as Pope isn’t last man is hilarious - the goalkeeper doesn’t usually count in ‘last man’ arguments re red cards (the ‘last man’ usually being the last outfield player). It’s a deliberate handball by a keeper to prevent a goal scoring opportunity. If that’s not a red card, then I’m looking forward to the chaos that will ensue for the rest of the season as keepers run out of their box with a minute to go and pluck a bouncing ball out of the air for the inevitable booking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
