**** off chris foy!

 

[cheets64]

He has money on United to win fo sure

 

[One More Solo]

Indeed. Rugby hasn't been negatively affected by it at all. Also allows players to be cited post match regardless of whether the ref has seen it or not.

What, in rugby where technology is only used for try line decisions and absolutely nothing to do with other infringements?

 

[Cosimo]

You're in no position to start trolling after the Chelsea performance yesterday

The ref wasn't visibly playing for us.

 

[ck88]

Lovin' the way the Arsenal lads told Eboue to **** off lol.

Wrong.

2 dubious goals is worse

 

[cheets64]

Just seen replay of Vidic handball, how was that not a red and pen?

 

[Shamikebab]

Pretty flipping poor, can barely string two passes together. I can understand we're trying to play a counter game but we keep hoofing it straight to them. Hernandez might as well have not played that half, was offside three times and that's it. Hate watching us not even attempt to play

The referee and his assistants didn't see it? Simples.

 

[Purdy]

Well played Foy. Another game vidic should be off and no doubt united will win.

Clearly they didn't see it, which to be fair only 1 Arsenal player saw it. It was ridiculously minimal contact that was hard to see even from the replay.

Because the ball moves about 3 millimetres, you can only just make it out on some of the TV camera angles in slow motion, the linesman/ref are both far away, its entirely possible they didn't see it.

None of the Arsenal players (bar RvP) saw it and they were much closer.

 

[peterattheboro]

As said. Foy is having a joke of a game.

What has he got wrong apart from the Vidic incident?

Wilshere saw it, and so did most of the crowd nearby.

What has he got wrong apart from the Vidic incident?

Didn't give a clear free kick on wilshere by vidic, missed a united corner, intercepted play.

 

[Dickyb0b]

vidic hand balled it twice in the pen area,he should be off by now , this ref is on a diferent planet.

 

[One More Solo]

Wrong.

No. Clearly stated:

6.A.7 REFEREE CONSULTING WITH OTHERS
(b) A match organiser may appoint an official who uses technological
devices. If the referee is unsure when making a decision in in-goal
involving a try being scored or a touch down, that official may be
consulted.

Explain how I'm wrong please?

 

[Gackt]

Linesman was in a perfect position to see it.

 

[cheets64]

So its ok to cheat then if nobody can see it, the balls flight of path moves when he touches it, taking it away from play, only goalkeepers are allowed to do that.

Sooner video replays come in the better but we will not be able to talk about these decisions. Thats the only downside, lack of was it/wasn't it debates that rage on for days, weeks, seasons
