Totally agree. So called "professional fouls" or taking one for the team. Never a fan of it, if you are beat let it be and see if the keeper or another player can make a save/stop and be a hero. If you make said foul, red card plus a few extra games. This applies to us, not like we dont make these stupid fouls. I just feel it takes away from the game and can lead to stupid injuries etc. 2 minutes ago, Mickey O'Neil said: Just seen highlights of Villa v Liverpool game. Mane is a fvcking disgrace. The sad thing is, he doesn't have to dive, he's a great footballer. Richarlason is equally disgusting but only half the player of Mane. Pretty spot on with that assessment.

So say Hamza’s fouling Salah, or say Evans earlier today?? Let’s not point the finger at other clubs and managers when we do it just as much... fouls are based on merit of the situation.. there’s no way anyone would have know Gomes would have got his studs stuck in the turf. Physical contacts part and part of the game, sadly the odd serious injury will happen.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koke Posted 4 November 2019 Share Posted 4 November 2019 Respect to Marco Silva for his post match interview. If that was a Liverpool player Klopp would have had a meltdown and targeted Son with his unhinged rants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bear Posted 4 November 2019 Share Posted 4 November 2019 I know a Liverpool fan who is insistent that Mane was tripped and the live commentary even said so. Made me actually LOL in real life. He's so blinkered it's untrue. He went down like he was auditioning for a remake of Platoon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobHawk Posted 4 November 2019 Share Posted 4 November 2019 VAR had a mare this weekend, but VAR isn't the problem, it's how it's being used. It still seems to be wildly inconsistent and in regards to the Alli handball the video ref making up his own rules saying it was not given because of the contact with the other player. Happened with the son sending off too but beleive we can forgive mistakes by the on field ref who likely got caught up in the moment but that's where VAR, should be used to confirm it's only a yellow. We really can learn alot from rugby who's use of the tmo really does benefit the game. As keown said last night, hearing the discussion between the ref and video ref and understanding how and why decisions were made will be a huge step forward and I have no idea why this wasn't already done. This may seem harsh but I have little sympathy for son, sure he didn't mean to cause injury but spurs are such a dirty team and everytime I see them they seem to be flying into tackles but somehow getting away with it. They seem to have this streak in them as a team. As for clamping down on these sort of tackles, I can't see that happening and actually think it's diving that needs much harsher retrospective action. Son mane and Richardson all throwing themselves to the floor yesterday and making the job of the ref alot harder. As we saw against Liverpool, throwing yourself to the floor can still get the desired outcome so until we remember football is a contact sport and really clamp down on throwing yourself to the floor after the smallest touch, they are gonna keep doing it and keep getting away with it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Fox Posted 4 November 2019 Author Share Posted 4 November 2019 I’d love there to be 5/6 well trained individuals, who do the VAR for all games. All we want is consistency, and refs who are confident in overturning an on field decision. We then need an ‘umpires call’ where there is not enough evidence, where we stick with the original decision. All of this needs to be made clear to people in the stands and watching on TV. Let us hear the conversations between referees and VAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Perez's 2nd and Maddison's free-kick against Southampton might have been good enough. Perez's third I thought was a guarantee. Pretty much the same as the Silva one that's on there except he puts in some fantastic chest control before the volley.

Physical contacts part and part of the game, sadly the odd serious injury will happen.. I think you've misunderstood my post. I'm not for one second suggesting that we don't do it ourselves but it doesn't make it right, and sooner or later it will lead to a serious injury as we've seen with Gomes. The point I was making is that player's who play/have played under the likes of Pep and Klopp openly talk about being instructed by the coach to commit a foul as quickly as possible to prevent momentum building when an opponent turns over play. I'm not saying we don't don't do this, but it has certainly been popularised amongst PL teams by the above coaches and when you watch their teams play I'd argue they do this more than most. Yes, the sport is a contact sport but these types of fouls (and subsequent contact) are unnecessary and will pose an injury risk vs. no foul. Take the incident yesterday - Son only makes contact because he's trying to stop the momentum. Gomes is far from the goal and Aurier is covering, there is absolutely no need to make contact other than to commit a professional foul. Without the initial contact Gomes plays the full 90 minutes and walks off the pitch regardless of whether the injury was a freak incident or not. Such fouls disrupt the natural flow of game which ruins the spectacle for the watching fan. You hear player's say that one of the reasons why they do it is because often the ref will award a free kick only and won't issue a card simply because the foul is so far up the pitch whereas if it was closer to goal they'd probably get a card. More can be done to discourage this behaviour which would ultimately make it a more exciting and better game to watch.

Something good about all of them. As mentioned Jimenez was quality for Traore's goal. Newcastle scored from a Man Utd corner. They countered rapidly and several other teams would get praise for it if they did it. Martial's was good mainly because of the good assist. Don't mind those goals being included because sometimes it's not all about the goal but the build up or assist too. My annoyance is that they only chose 7 goals. In the past I'm sure they've had 8 or 9? So keep the above goals in as no need to replace them. Just add at least one in from ours?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a picture that I obviously won't share that show that impact between Aurier and Gomes. I agree Son was trying to get back at Gomes for the elbow, he clearly accelerates when he sees Gomes get the ball, and the trip was naughty, and yes the trip got the ball rolling on the whole sequence of events, but it wasn't the contact from Son that injured Gomes.
