The Pompey pel that wasn’t given

Great tackle, way too much analysis in the game now, people desperate for controversy. Super Kev’s comments were baffling.

Pundits very rarely disagree.

3 ordinary fans in a pub will disagree on a decision. Even if they support the same team.

3 pundits will always agree.

To me it was a clumsy challenge, but he got the ball. Never a pen. But the first person they asked was Taylor, who said it was, and pundits never argue, so SKP says the same.

maybe if they don't have a united front, and speak as one informed voice, they undermine their role as experts?
 
Portsmouth player toe pokes the ball (watch spin of ball change)
Flanagan is commited in hoofing it so ends toeing it away as ball not where he was expecting it
Flanagan follows through into Portsmouth player

Penna? VAR would have given it for sure but soft as fuck and definitely one of those where you say it should go for your team ;)

I just burst out laughing at this ;)
Flanagan clears the ball just before their lad gets a touch on the ball and catches him on the follow through. Nowt he can do about that.

Agreed, their role will always be undermined further by the suspicions of bias on which way they call things.

Took them a while to call out Marquis’ dive and even then they didn’t say it warranted a yellow etc.

Football analysis is so saturated now I try and avoid it whenever possible. Only stayed watching the coverage for the interviews.

He only just got the ball with his toes though 'got the ball' is not in the rules.

Regardless of who thinks what, it was class that we were on the other side of debatable decisions like this and we fully deserved the win :cool:
 
Getting a bit of the ball first is almost an irrelevance really. You can get a toe on it and then absolutely clatter someone off the pitch. That's a foul.

I think we really got away with one there. Could have gone either way and I think it probably was a penalty. Happy days.
 
So is Phillipsy talking bollocks when he said "it's a clear penalty. Every Sunderland fan will admit they got away with one"?

And the other two in the studio agreed.

You're talking bollocks. But probably pissed tbf.

Yes. Yes he is talking total bollocks.

Play it at real speed and take note of the ball ending up 50 yards from goal (which is staggering considering Flanagan only just got a nick on the ball).

It wasn't a penalty and Phillips is wrong.

Eh? :confused: Did you not see the bit in my post about watching the spin of the ball given it clearly changes before Flanagan toe hoofs (sliced) it away? ;) The clue being the toe hoof and the direction it goes to his actual leg swing as the ball isn't where Flanagan thought it was due to the toe poke from the Portsmouth player.

I suppose this is why we have threads like this when people see things so differently :lol:

Slow this down to 0.25 x speed from just after 2 mins and it's clear as day who gets the 1st touch and what happens

He didn't get a toe on it though. He leathered it clear and got him on the follow through. It wasn't even a tackle. It was a clearance!

Not even close to being a penalty.
 
If that’s a penalty football should be a non contract sport. Their player has his foot up and is caught after the ball was played.
 
It should have been given a penalty. It was reckless and Flanagan was never in control of the tackle.
@Doberman
It was absolutely nailed on and so was the free kick just before our second.

f***ing love it! :lol:

Yup. Think some are applying 1980s rules.

As I said, some think it's the same rules are when we used medicine balls.

That just confirms what I saw at the time, he clears the ball a millisecond after the attacker nudges it forward an inch.
@dangermows banging on all night that he kicked the player not he ball is hilarious, watch it tomorrow when sober mate.
