JBO Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Seen em given seen em not -Barnsley keeper did the same to Paterson at Wembley but I don't remember this level of outrage. Also Wolves weren't "robbed of a point" as I've continually seen today. They still would have had to score the penalty and then see the rest of the game out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a foul* is committed, by the defence in their penalty area, then it’s a penalty. * Unless its obstruction, in which cases it an indirect free kick.

It'll continue to be subjective until FIFA produce a proper law book without the need for four pages of interpretations within the 'spirit of the game'. IFAB need to stop trying to rewrite rules to match the growing technicalities of coaching and keeping the flow going (the constant dicking about with offside being one and the introduction of multi ball and increased time keeping) You can't keep shouting that the 'game' should be the same from park kick-abouts to World Cup finals then change the laws to suit TV and 'entertainment'. Football has never been about entertainment. It's about the score. You don't watch the Dog and Duck on a Sunday morning to be entertained (unless you find a fat lad falling over in mud funny) so it's never the same game as going to league ground. You get a rule book out from the 50s 60s 70s and there's nothing wrong with those rules and everyone who went to a game knew them. There really was no need to change them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyben Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Was watching highlights of the 76 Cup semi at Hillsborough the other day, Derby had a goal ruled out for offside which would have been given now and I'm not sure which version of offside I'd prefer, but it was very clear.
