It’s definitely a pen, unfortunately we know a player just has to beat the keeper and get a touch on his foot to get a pen. Whether that’s right or not you can debate, but it’s a penalty under any recent application of the rules. 

It’s not a foul. It’s not a penalty. Saying it’s definitely a penalty is just silly.

Agreed. For the record the Jota one is more of a penalty than today’s. As much as I hate admitting it. Jota never a penalty personally but GK guilty of the slightest of contact towards him. Today it was all on AG initiating everything.

Bullshit.  Did I mention it went to VAR?  Just admit you are wrong........... and that you've been on the piss all day (winky face).

Of course it's a penalty, the same as a hundred similar ones before have been penalties for the same or less contact.

 

To say anything else is too rewrite the rules, var and modern football.

 

As they say don't hate the player, hate the game.

Thank you.

Don't understand why people are arguing over one that went our way so much. Remember that fucking Jota one at Anfield last year? If that's a pen, the Gordon one was a fucking stonewaller.

Well that one absolutely fucking wasn't a penalty :lol:

Perhaps this has bren mentioned already today but attacking-wise, we looked so much better with Trippier in at RB. The link up play with the little triangles with Murphy and Tonali/Bruno, the overlaps that were created, brought so much memories of the good times we were playing at from the previous 2 seasons. Rest him for Wimbledon though to manage his playing time.

:lol: just honest opinion. Gordon clearly goes looking for it. The one we didn’t get was more of a pen

 

Gordon was first to the ball. Maybe he kicks it past the goalie to get a pen, but that doesn't matter. That allways gets given. Show me an example of that not being given? If you think that shouldn't be a pen, then you have a problem with the rules, not the decision.

When we played Man City in December 2021. Ederson on Fraser (maybe wrong), fucking scandal.

I had forgotten that one in the list of pens we never got vs City.:lol: But atleast 9.5/10 times these are given. I've seen it so many times before.

Under Eddie Howe at SJP. Unbeaten in 86% of all games at home. 


Is that league only? From memory the only losses at home since February 1, 2022 are:

 

Liverpool x3

Arsenal

City

Milan (chasing a goal)

Dortmund

The Chris Wood Boxing Day Massacre

Which DC broke the matrix?

In what way was he initiating it? He was just running at full speed in a completely normal way. What was he supposed to do to avoid the contact? Just stop running and let Ederson take the ball? By the way, when you look at it full speed, you will see how fast everything happened. Slow motion is misleading if you forget about the fact that it's slow motion.

 

"Anyone whos played football at basic level " haven't tried to run at that the speed Gordon is going, and then have their standing leg being nudged like that.

I don't agree that he is initiating contact (physically/literally). It is what would probably be called a 55/45 ball to be won and evidently the 45 (Ederson) miscalculated it as being 50/50.

 

I think what is more pertinent, is whether the majority of players say 15 years ago go down here. To which the answer is no, in my opinion. As a defender, I don't see this as sufficient contact to go down (pre-VAR) but now (because of VAR and the modern "if there's contact go down cause VAR will validate it" game) it would be given a penalty and so by drawing any challenge in, as Gordon does so well, he is luring his prey into a false sense of security whereby they think it's a 50/50 and it isn't. That, is, somewhat, initiating contact (psychologically). Thus making it a game issue not a player issue.

 

And now I'm done being diplomatic but that's helped me pass 5mins where I simply cannot sleep.

From Opta:

 

This 1-1 draw ended a run of 14 consecutive Premier League games in which Manchester City had scored multiple goals; that was the joint-second longest such run in the competition’s history (Liverpool 15 between March and September 2019).

He clearly hits his left leg, and you can't really tell with certainty that Gordon could've stayed on his feet.. It doesn't take that much at that speed. Only Gordon knows. The refs can't tell either, and the rules are not at that level of subjectivity. If they were, we would have even more inconsistent refereeing.

 

Going down easily was pretty common 15 years ago, by the way. I definetly think most players 15 years ago would go down there, even if it actually was possible to stay up. The ref will nearly allways give that on field, and that would be enough 15 years ago.

Our record against Liverpool needs putting to bed this season. I really can't stand them.

Smart play by Gordon. If that goes against us, I wouldn't have too many complaints. It's just what modern football is these days.
