Obviously had bets on yesterday
Oh my God, Hansen just said on MOTD that the second penalty was a penalty all day long. If that's the case football really is finished [Post edited 19 Aug 8:13]

Trying to work out why the deliberate obstruction on Borini didn't merit a penalty, whereas the WBA penalty looked very soft indeed. |  | | |

The first one was debatable, the second one was naive by the defender, but when it is considered to be good sportsmanship to run past the defender, away from goal, and throw yourself to the floor with no contact to get a pen, you know the game is a joke | | | |

So the Chelsea one was a pen, but the ball was going out.... It makes me wonder why we don't just ban shooting. All you have to do is get the ball into the penalty area, make contact with the defender, and go down. As long as there is contact you can't be booked and you could cause real problems by constantly diving | | | |

Are you saying the foul on Hazard didn't warrant a penalty? |  | | |

The 2nd one was a blatant pen. How can you even argue that!?
The 1st was debatable - although he did try and nudge him off the ball without trying to play it - again, probably a pen. |  | | |

It did in the modern game. What I'm saying is that he had knocked it on too far with his touch, so it wasn't a goal scoring opportunity | | | |

As far as I'm aware, penalties never had a clause where there had to be a goal scoring opportunity to be given. | | | |

Since when did it have to be a goal scoring opportunity? Have I missed something here... | | | |

What? For the second one the WBA player stuck his leg between the legs of the Liverpool defender and threw himself to the ground, blur fore the Liverpool defender even knew he was there.
No wonder everyone is going on about the ethic of the olympians | | | |

Right... but hasn't that always been the case? Which means it's nothing to do with modern football. | | | |

He knicked the ball which skrtel then went to kick away - he then caught Long. It's about as blatant as you will ever see.
The first one was perhaps slightly dubious but both were clumsy challenges. | | | |

Why don't they just allow rugby tackles in the box? That's just what's needed. | | | |

What happened was Long did the triling leg trick and got a goal for it. The Liverpool player didn't touch him | | | |

The Liverpool player did touch, there was obvious contact weather he left his leg trailing or not - it was a defo pen! Skrtel was stupid enough to dilly dally on the ball... | | | |

Yes, you are absolutely right, the player should have got rid of it when he had the chance. But the fact is Long deliberately left his leg in and that was the only reason there was contact, hence it was a dive | | | |

You just said there was no contact!
I don't even think he left his leg in myself but either way, he made contact, it was a pen! | | | |

What I meant was, he didn't make contact with Long, Long made contact with him. The fact that is now considered a normal part of the game shows how poor the game has become. | | | |

I wish somebody would put you out to grass Fred.
I've never known such a negative and moaning poser as you.
You literally drain the energy out of this board. |  |
