Sean Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I think he pretty much dived into the keeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 He definitely bought it, like. Punished the keeper for making a risky call to come out. One of those that you're absolutely fuming to give away but I don't think it's the wrong decision. If you just default to the 'anywhere else on the pitch' position I feel like you can't really argue.

Heron Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 He bought the pen. Your taught to get your body between the defender and the ball and he did that. Stupid decision from the keeper, clever plylay from Gordon and in anyway not a pen for me. But our goal also should have stood. That aside Gordon is arguably our player of the season thus far.

Nah. 3 minutes ago, Sean said: I think he pretty much dived into the keeper. Yep. He changes his body position to engineer the contact. If the ref hadn’t given it - VAR wouldn’t have overturned it. It’s smart play from Gordon and the ref bought it. He forced a decision and it went our way. But it wasn’t a pen. Ref was awful all game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second penalty was an awful decision too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gleebals Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Really still cannot work out how that is a penalty. The ball was virtually over the line at contact point so he was hardly in control of it, or going to do anything with it without contact. Will take it but would be mighty pissed off if that had gone against us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 If a player is shepherding the ball out of play and you go through the back of them it’s a foul. Same concept here, got his body between keeper and ball and got fouled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSG Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Whether or not it was a pen, it was still absolutely fucking ridiculous from their keeper and I’d be absolutely fuming at him if I was a Brentford fan. Absolutely no need to even give the ref a decision to make. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Think Shearer v Tim Howard at Old Trafford was close to being the same as Gordon yesterday. That day we didn't get the pen but Durkin came out afterwards saying he got it wrong after watching it back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go through the back of them is harsh though - his knee grazed Gordon’s thigh but we had a perfectly good goal disallowed so that’s that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I thought he settled well on the right yesterday. His level of performance was as we have seen, dare I say are coming to except from him, on the left. I also thought Barnes was beginning to find his groove on the left. I know the standard patter is having more than one option is a good problem to have, but part of our winning momentum last season—and perhaps for all effective teams—is having a settled team who ‘just know’ what each other are going to do; where there teammates are going to be. I wonder whether there is a way to add Miggy to the mix? His linkage with Tripps and Bruno is a great example of that tacit ‘just knowing’ which creates so many problems for opponents.

Pancrate1892 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 The chalked off goal and the penalty summed up the refs performance, he generally give freekicks for non fouls and then didn't give freekicks for fouls. If VAR looked at every decision he made throughout the whole 90 mins I'm not sure he would have got half of them correct . Goal should have stood and not a pen.

Cronky Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 1 hour ago, CPL said: It was definitely clever play by Gordon and if another top 6 team got that, we would be fuming. We will take it though. Realistically, a very large proportion of free kicks or pens are awarded through an attacker deliberately positioning himself so that a defender makes contact. The way our game is refereed, there is some responsibility on the defender not to be suckered into challenges where they don't get the ball. The issue of whether the contact is enough to cause a player to go down is a tricky one. We can't expect players to fight to stay on their feet, when the consequences of that temporary loss of balance or footwork is to lose the ball. I'm not sure whether the ball was still on the field when the foul was committed. Given that the whole of the ball has to have crossed the line, it probably was. But I'm not clear on what the correct decision would have been if the ball had crossed the line. Googling hasn't helped. Any refs out there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he'd give the blatant foul to start with he wouldn't have had to come back and make the necessary foul to get the yellow anyway. The foul needed to be made as well because they'd split our midfield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree with this part. I think most fouls are giving when the defender mistimes the tackle coming across the attackers line and missing the ball. I take your point though. The most recent example that comes to mind is when Jiminez ran through last year against Pope after a dodgy touch. That was more a penalty than yesterday despite him leaning in to make sure there was contact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
