Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [2nd - 5th Feb 2021]

Daniel James is a junk footballer.

 

[Converge]

It’s a dive by the looks of that. Martial was already going down as he struck him.

 

[mid_gen]

Yep, dive. Probably be given though.

 

[Derek W]

Red card if it's a penalty

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Yep, same as Luiz. Red and penalty.

Anything else and I'd be looking to sack every ref and disband the PGMOL.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Dive but he scrapes his ankle so suspect it'll stay as a pen.

 

[Alex h]

Going to be soft if given

 

[chroniclard]

Garbage reffing today.

 

[Kenai]

If Mike Dean is involved, it's unlikely he'll go with the boring option

 

[Shamikebab]

There is contact, classic case of defender running across the attackers path.

 

[Alex h]

Pen and a red

 

[mid_gen]

I mean, he did clip him, but Martial was going down whether he got touched or not, he'd already decided to dive.

 

[Converge]

We want 7!

Ask and ye shall receive!

 

[Calpol]

In the context of the game thats a poor decision to send the lad off. Surely the ref would have shown some discretion in the past and just awarded the pen as punishment enough.

 

[Robbo]

VAR just doesn't help really does it. It's corrected the odd clanger but on the whole it's just boring debates all the time. Zzz.

Seventh heaven!

 

[fez]

Players shouldn't be allowed to leave trailing legs to make contact inevitable. Should be done for diving when they do it.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

That rule's getting done away with in the summer.

 

[Shamikebab]

Well at least there is consistency today, even if I disagree with the rule.

 

[Robbo]

8th... what's the word for it

 

[Alex h]

8 nil
