The FA CUP Semi-Finals 14/15 April *** Spoilers ***

[Pighardia]

To be fair though, he didn't really deny a goalscoring opportunity, as they did score.(technically)

 

[Nate75]

If a player fouled and the ref played on, the player would be dealt with, why not the keeper? Bizarre.

ref has no kahonas

 

[Tummy]

you cant send cech off after allowing play to go on

if cech was off thn goal should be disallowed and ball on the spot

cant have it both ways

Err

Yes you can.

Cech fouled Ade, then Bale scored from the advantage. The ref should send Cech off for the foul now. Absolutely ridiculous.

You can allow the advantage and then card a player for the original foul you know

 

[Azza]

5Live saying because Bale himself was in a goal scoring position himself then that's why he probably hasn't sent Cech off. But as said you can play advantage and book a player after the foul, but Cech's got away with this some how!

Yes you can, you can book a player after playing advantage

yeah a yellow at most!!

he didnt prevent a goal scoring oppurtunity so it aint a red anyway

... So?

Cech should have seen red for that, advantage or penalty. Two really, really poor decisions from the referee.

 

[Tom84]

Atkinson once again doing everything he can to give Chelsea win, it was bad enough giving Chelsea a goal without them having to actually put the ball in the back of the net but Cech should have been off then. ******* useless referee

 

[Psycho Ned]

They wonder why cheating is so prevalent in football, spurs have been disadvantaged there by playing properly! If Adebayor had just punted it out and gone down they'd have had a pen and Chelsea down to 10 men.

 

[Pighardia]

I don't like to see keepers sent off in those situations anyway tbh.

I hope Tottenham go on to win this now!( well...I did anyway)

 

[G-MAN2004]

This ref is bloody awful. Of course, I want Chelsea to go through but we can't keep having rubbish like this happen in games, especially important ones like this.

 

[Tummy]

ITV don't even know the rules of the game

Do you know the rules of the game ?

 

[joxang]

Wtf was that rubbish on ITV just now about 'violent conduct' only?!

 

[Nate75]

long way to go but if it ends 2-1 then the papers will be full of the non goal tomorrow...

 

[Tummy]

Wtf was that rubbish on ITV just now about 'violent conduct' only?!

It's embarrassing letting them show Sport.

They should probably learn the rules of the game.

 

[[TW]Sponge]

ITV commentary is just plain awful. They clearly know nothing about football.

 

[mmj_uk]

ITV saying refs can't book retrospectively if its not violent conduct...

Surely if putting your forehead against someone elses without contact is classed as violent conduct then chopping someones legs with your arms is?

He was 1on1 with the keeper if that isn't a goal scoring chance what is? When the ball in on the line and knocks it in playground style
