Franny Jeffers agrees with that statement.
The Eze disallowed goal annoys me. Not because it was disallowed but because the rule is quite clearly little known.
Later, when Chelsea had a free kick in a similar position and Palace formed a wall, the ref then marked out a 1 metre distance. Had he done that for the Palace free kick, Guehi would have known not to manoeuvre the wall as he did.
Frustrating.
There was one before in this match that I assume was breaking that rule.
Zubimendi really is looking a bit meh. Rather have Endo.
Cometh the hour cometh Slabhead.
Ugarte is shit & Maguireās first action of course is to bulldoze into someone.
Ugarte last years missing piece.
Maguire to head one in.
At which end is anyoneās guess.
Yeah Grav is more than fine but I was trying to make the point Iād take our substitute in that position.
Those 2 in the Arsenal wall arenāt a metre away. Ref do your fucking job.
Arsenal have become a billion dollar set piece team.
Yeah I donāt get this rule.
Modern day Stoke
Thatās a weird sub from Arteta.
Fixed
Its to stop them lining up in defensive wall.
Which Iāve seen time and time again in all the football Iāve watched. It reminds me of when you find out something and you mention it into every conversation for a week.
Rule was changed because of that.
Ok so this is a new rule then?
Yeah it was seemingly brought in to give refs help dealing with the argey bargey when attackers try to insert themselves them in the wall and disrupt it. So youāve got a rule that no one knew existed, is inconsistently applied and brought in to address a different issues resulting ina banger of a goal being disallowed
