Any updates from our Zambian Facebook correspondent SilverFox ?

What did our friends make of their boy’s unexpected cameo last night?

I want him to do a couple of things

1. Start a game
2. Score

The ****ing scenes. Can you imagine. I need that in my life.

Fatawu was assaulted outside the box initially. The referee was correct.

Referee was incorrect, as are you, Cambers. As per the laws of the game:

"If a defender starts holding an attacker outside the penalty area and continues holding inside the penalty area, the referee must award a penalty kick."

Nailed on penalty and anyone disagreeing is a dildo

Although not quite as nailed on as when Faes just kicked their bloke's legs away for no reason whatsoever.

Awful challenge

Yep, clear as anything and can't believe the ref didn't give it.

Yup. In our game without VAR two definite penalties were denied whilst on the other screen with VAR, yanited got one that should never have been awarded.

This ends with a British diplomat being chased onto the roof of the embassy in Lusaka*, last chopper out of Saigon style.




* Yeah I did have to Google it, so ****ing what?!

I'm not sure on the ruling but for me it looked a penalty. The fould started outside the box but it became significant enough to cause Fatawu to go to ground once he had entered the box.

From my view, Fatawu chose to ride the initial challenge outside the box until he got into the area and then suddenly lost the use of his legs.

I would dislike that from an opponent so was pleased that it wasn't rewarded.

Don't you always call for us to be more cynical and street smart?

 

[H T B]

If you look at the so called penalty they should have had.
Ref got it right , surprisingly
Their player came towards Faes as the ball was going straight out of play , not in the direction their player was taking
He instigated contact

We should have had one for the rugby tackle on Vesty.

Sometimes.

For example, I'm all in favour of the yellow card Ricardo took with a cynical pull back last night. I'm also a strong advocate for complaining to officials. I thoroughly enjoyed Iheanacho clapping the ref sarcastically.

I see a difference between those sorts of things and basic cheating which is what diving is. Diving is so common now and we've had our fair share of exponents of it. But ever since Erland Johnsen cruelly cheated us, I've had a hatred of its consequences and can't stand it when Vardy and co. do it.

I don't know if this arbitrary line is reasonable or not but it's where I am.

Well you're obviously free to feel however you want about a particular scenario. I don't really see much of a difference though, in all honesty. I think it's a tough sell to advocate for one of those things and complain about the other. Hey ho, ultimately it's whatever the ref gives that is the important thing, but all of these are really just ways of trying to get him to give a decision in our favour.

Apparently there are many more than fifty shades of grey.

Clearly the sudden loss of use of legs, as you put it, had nothing to do with it. The referee gave the free kick, but outside the box, for holding/shirt-pulling. That offence clearly continued inside the area so, according to the Laws of the Game, a penalty should have been awarded. The fact that the player fell inside the area is a red herring; people like you love your red herrings, not only for their flavour, but also to support your rather odd and antagonistic attitude.

I'm glad I didn't say that.

Thanks for the unnecessary insults.

The foul didn't continue in the area at all. The contact was outside and the defender let go (sensibly) once they reached the line. Apart from that, you're spot on.
