thats fair enough and i`m not saying i`m any sort of football rule maker. all i`m saying is, in my opinion fletcher wasnt brave enough and because he wasnt even challenging for the ball i dont see personally how a pen could have been given.

I know sort of what you mean mate, but imo Fletcher sort of knew he wasn't going to make it & pulled out, it was still serious dangerous play tho which should have resulted in a foul.
 
Crook, Please watch this again, look at it from Fletchers point of view when he sees Begovics boot heading for his face and tell me what you would have done. Also please explain how this is not a red card and a penalty

I must be mental aswell - to me thats not even a foul
 
nah but you have to at least look like yr going for it. fletcher had the white flag up

your whole argument seems to be based on the fact that he didn't put his head in front of a flying boot from a goalkeeper charging at him.

the game has changed thankfully and players no longer need to get career threatening injuries to get free kicks.

I can see your point but imo fletcher had a choice to make about 2 seconds before impact. he either thinks he can get there first and thus quickens up or he realises he isnt ever gonna make it and thus avoids impact. he chose the latter imo because he knew he wasnt ever getting to the ball first

Do you honestly believe he could of "speeded up" "nicked the ball away" and scored a goal without Begovics boot imploding in his face?????
 
Jesus christ, that other angle makes me even more mad.[DOUBLEPOST=1385239077][/DOUBLEPOST]No reaction from Crouch or the crowd either
 
Trying to look at the incident without bias. In the context of the game and relative to Brown's sending off, I can see why most of us are calling it a red card and penalty. On the other hand, if Mannone was to do the same thing next week and get sent off. I reckon this place would be in meltdown.

Of course it would "what the fuck is the useless Italian prick not using his hands for? De Fanti out!".
 
i`ve only seen the gif of this and its pissing me off. was there more to the incident was he charging in from miles away having lost his blob or was it really just as stupid a red card as it seems from the millisecond gif clip
