The Referees or The Twelfth Man

It was a minor miracle that Gravy didn’t get his leg broken by the horrendous lallana tackle only a yellow.

Its not where Robbos foot its where the attackers foot is which was before the line.

But no one commented on the Southampton guy pulling Robbo back…dubious pen…and the VAR mind games didn’t work…

Look again. His foot is definitely planted on the line…but let’s celebrate the win. That’s the most important thing today.

I was so impressed with that young lad though. Only 18 and English. Looks like a really exciting prospect.

Except they are now claiming that there was no conclusive proof that the initial foul was outside the box.

Which is true, isn’t it?

Well if there was no contact, then the player was presumably taking a dive.

I just think that they didn’t want to pull the ref over for a marginal error. It would just help if they could keep their story consistent.

Whos foot ?

The attackers…both his and Robbo’s look to be touching the line in that image.

Its no where near the line Robbos isn’t on the line so how csn his be.

The PGMOL told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Yeah only saw that in real time

Was about to say the same

There was another angle from the side that shows the contact better and to me was conclusive that the contact was outside the area

Did they? From what I recall, no contact was inside the box.

Of course it does to you Rambler.
To the vast majority of people the foul is outside the box.

Yeah, let’s celebrate the win while posting pictures and arguing it should have been a penalty.
Let us know what West Ham and Grimsby fans think.

There is a better angle picture that shows the foul happens outside the penalty area.
I can’t do pictures…
The angle of the @Rambler pic is really a poor viewpoint for a decision to be made.

Lallana isn’t a dirty player, but that tackle happens vs City and its a red card.

But hey, the refs are all very fair now that Coote has been exposed.

Yep the 1st pic clearly shows the contact on the ankle is outside the area
