I'd agree with that. On the other hand, though, refs tend not to give penalties if the player is impeded but doesn't go down.
You suggesting football is a non contact sport?
I get that but refs should be looking to give fouls when players stay on their feet more often and giving fewer when players just flop down, even if it is a foul. Won't happen but it would help improve the game imo.That’s because nearly every fucker dives when impeded making it doubly difficult when one doesn’t , so nee wonder.
I don’t think anyone has suggested there wasn’t contact so a still image of the incident is pretty irrelevant like.
It's probably a pen mate. I just hate that contact statement because you are allowed contact.Only time I can remember it was Wickham against Cardiff when we beat them 4-0 at home in the miracle season. Ref waited to see if he’d scored and when he didn’t called it back for a pen.
It’s a penalty. He grabbed him around the chest in the penalty area. Just because you’re hankering for 1960s football when players would have a tab at half time it doesn’t change the fact the defender impeded Salah.

Pretty much exactly this. Salah has one thought. Going down for a penalty.It's a penalty, but Salah is almost disinterested in the ball with the amount of backing in he's doing. That's what riles people.
The one that really gets me is when an attacker chases a defender back then as soon as the attacker gets to the defender said defender just falls over and invariably gets the foul. It's obvious and easily changed. Proper pisses me off.Could not agree more, but because players are soo adapt at making dives look like fouls and most do dive, it is very diffcult indeed in real time to know the difference don’t you think?
Arsenal losing today reignites Man Utd’s Champions League hopes.Everyone on their last legs - watched City, Barça & 'pool this weekend and they all lacked that final precise touch. Typical of post-champions. City are going to miss De Bruyne if bad injury is confirmed - but I still fancy them to win against the woeful Solksjaer boys.

City obviously could win on Wednesday, but Man United won’t just lie down. They have it all to still play for.

Salah spent half the time leaning back into him man. Absolutely nowhere near enough contact to justify the way Salah went down.People are whinging saying how football isn’t a contact sport. There’s a difference between a mistimed tackle and literally grabbing a forward round the chest![]()
