nemtizz Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Bringing on Isak and Tonali when we’re 6-0 is absurd. Can’t imagine what this squad will look like in 3/4 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Reading back through the thread and surprised at the reaction to the first goal and how many of you thought it shouldn’t be allowed. There was absolutely nothing  wrong with it. Clear goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I didn't think it should be but I did think it would be for the ball hitting his hand. Forgot that the whole 'doesn’t matter if it was accidental, it's handball' only applies to the goalscorer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels harsh but ultimately it's the correct decision  The law is a little odd in that if Gordon took a shot and scored it would have been disallowed but passing it to Longstaff ended that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Thankfully the law is written the way it is because disallowing a goal for that level of 'infringement' would be farcical. If anything it made it harder for him to provide the assist because he had to assist his feet to keep it in play.  The non-pen was a joke of a decision, like. Another VAR corker, that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Yeah, it was staggering the penalty wasn't given  Absolutely clear contact, no doubt reputation played a part in it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I’d be fuming if the first goal stood against us.  That’s handball anywhere else on the pitch. He basically controls it with his hand. But according to the rules it’s fine.  They can’t complain though. When you lose 8-0 at home you have no excuses.  Weak set pieces to concede before they totally gave up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Sheff U were unlucky on the first, which was a common sense handball, if not a "rules of the game" one. Â Not lucky at all with goals 2 and 3 though which clinched the match. Goal 2 is a penalty for holding if BDB misses. You could call holding on several different players. Goal 3 was a free kick after that "orange card" challenge. The trip on Gordon should also have been a penalty. Â I think the scoreline and performance will write a new history of the season for Sheff U, but it took Man City and Spurs late winners to beat them. Credit to our lads for dispatching them so easily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Committed for 90 minutes.  Heckingbottom led one of the most spineless performances ever I’ve ever seen.     Eliot Anderson was hit by a bottle when the score was only 3-0. There is a time for sympathy, but not when teams are putting in spineless performances and their fans are throwing shit at the opposition early in the proceedings.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 They didn’t look  too bad the first ten minutes or so. But we took it up a notch the minute Gordon stepped on the pitch.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ban shirts altogether and have the players' upper bodies painted in their teams colours instead. Use non-water-soluble paint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
