It's not even a foul, it's the equivalent of tapping someone on the shoulder.
But all footballers are cheats and and we got one last week for a dive, so hey ho.
Modern football eh. This game had promise early on because there was a bit of bite and needle but it's just descended into cheap free kicks and diving, from both sides. |  |

Need to take your blue tinted glasses off, he caught him, even if it wasn't a huge amount.
You'd have been livid if we'd not have been given that.
It was more of a penalty than some of our shouts last week. |  |

Just drops to his knees as though he is scythed down. But we appear to be in the minority

It’s the softest pen you’ll ever ever see but it’s a penalty. We haven’t controlled this half at all. |  |

His feet were caught, not by a huge amount, but unless you're wearing blue tinted glasses or blind, you would see that. | |

It was a penalty, by today's standards, but today's standards are pathetic! |  | | |

If we’d have been given that I’d have to be wearing blue tinted glasses to justify it. | | | |

It was a definite penalty. It was a very clumsy tackle, all footballers regardless of them being modern or not, would have gone down. |  | | |

Its as clear as day.
No intent, but he's hooked his trailing foot. | |

What's your definition of the word 'caught' in this context? | |

Yep. I was swearing to start with, but the replay was pretty clear. |  |

100% a penalty. | | | |

Some here are only seeing the contact. Choosing to throw yourself to the ground, contact or not, is not a foul. Decisions like that encourage diving. Last week should have had two pens because of the blatant handballs. Luckily we were good enough today to cope with poor refereeing. [Post edited 7 Feb 14:39]

If there is contact without winning the ball, which there was, i have to say that he's entitled to go down, yep agree it's cheating but that's the modern game, Shearer has said this I remember.. |  | | |

Entitled to cheat? That's a new one. | |

Indeed. I thought that was supposed to be the difference between English and continental refereeing. The reason English football is the most popular in the world. We don't reward diving. It's not a pen. Azor's tap was on his standing ankle. It didn't have enough force to affect his stability. If he'd been put him off-balance or it affected his ability to play a pass or shoot, then agreed, that's a pen. Throwing himself to the floor should have disqualified the foul. | | | |

English players have been going down in the area with minimal contact for decades. It was a blatant penalty. | | | |

Unfortunately it’s symptomatic of the modern game. ‘Felt the contact and entitled to go down’ is something you hear all the time these days. |  | | |

How many on this thread have played football? If your weight is moving moving forwards and your back foot is unexpectedly hooked, you don't keep your balance easily. | |
