If we score two goals as good as that every game the crowds should come flocking back.

 

Is that a foul or a shoulder barge for the penalty?

 

That's never a penalty in a million years, thank God Cisak saved it, justice done! It looked a definate pen from the Main Stand paddock but, having seen it again, no way!

 

And 2 great goals, Simmo's in particular for the chest control...

What a riduclous penalty. Is football becoming non contact?!

If you listen to the pundits then yes. Time after time when they analyse a player hitting the ground as if shot by a Magnum at point blank range they come up with something along the lines of "well there was contact so he was entitled to go down" when the contact wouldn't have been enough to knock down a toddler taking his first step.

Yet but we never seem get them. I remember a couple of times against Chesterfield Kuqi was bundled to the ground in the box but it wasnt deemed enough contact to warrant a foul

But even then, the rules allow for you to knock somebody over with a shoulder to shoulder challenge.

The ref was woeful irrespective of the penalty decision. How only one of theirs got booked in the game compared to two of ours I'll never know. Simpson must have been fouled about 15 times alone.

 

Kuqi slightly vindicated for his miss as it clipped the post before going wide (couldn't tell that on the night).

Depends whether you think the shoulder charge was careless or not. It's an offence to charge an opponent carelessly, recklessly or with excessive force.

 

A shoulder charge is fair unless it is done in a careless, reckless or excessively forceful manner. The referee may blow for a foul if the arms are out, use of elbow becomes a push or a hold and both feet are off the ground. A shoulder charge should not be committed in such a way that there is an unnatural step towards the opponent, and no intention to win the ball.

Yes heard Shearer say that on MOTD ,

in other words , if there is contact the forward is entitled to cheat !!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds about right, but where's that from? There's no specific reference to the 'shoulder charge' in the LotG (not this year's at least).

Don't think ive ever seen a shoulder barge without contact to be honest.
