That would never have been given at 0-0.
Both arms pushing Coopers shoulders down as he goes to claim the ball. The only reason their man gets leverage, and the only reason Coops doesn't mop it up.
Yeah, he's usually stronger and claims these 9/10 and I'm not being overprotective of keepers, but that's clearly a foul.

Wouldn’t have been a goal with VAR.
 
I'm all for harassing the keeper, blocks, nudges, getting in his way etc. I don't mind a bit of a battle for positioning from corners. Pushing the keepers arms down though is ridiculous, and I'm just a bit gutted for the back line that 100% deserved a clean sheet. Anel in particular for me.

Campbell could have tapped in with VAR cause it’s not a foul that caused his injury, goalie just over protected.

Deffo not a foul. The keeper was trying to be clever instead of just hoofing it. He caused himself a freak injury, but I do hope it isn't too serious and he's not out for too long. It didn't look good though with him being stretched off poor lad. Speedy recovery Cov lad 👍

Glad you shown that vid. Whatever, poor choice from Cooper unf. Should have punched it or palmed/flicked it on its way. If you're surrounded by two oppo players, they are not coming to get your autograph.

I didn’t think it was at the time but that picture looks pretty clear it was.

VAR would have scrubbed it.

But it’s paid for my breakfast so 🤷

Maybe.
His punches are really good, but his handling and catching is his strongest attribute I think, so I understand why he backs himself. He's tough though as well, I'm not screaming for more protection, I just want fouls called for what they are. Holding a keepers arms is the equivalent as kicking a players leg before he strikes the ball.
 
I actually quite liked the finish though from the Cov player. Little mid air volley.
 
Its always great to see a GK come off his line to catch the ball as it immediately takes the pressure off. Having said that when the keeper has to muscle his way into a tightly packed group of players that is always going to be very risky. Sometimes the keeper just has to trust his defenders to do the job, that way the keeper is still in position to attempt a save should the defender fail to win the header. Poor decision from Cooper if you ask me.

Considering some of the soft stuff that gets given for ‘fouls’ on the keeper, this one definitely should have been given.
 
Funny ain't it though.

Their goal, 100% a foul on Cooper.

Their free kick they got for the Cov Goalkeeper twisting his knee, 100% not a foul.

I think we all agree it was a foul on Coops but these things happen .At least we were home and dry by then.What annoys me and Wilder was disappointed with there goal even though he chopped up our defensive line up near the end.
Takes Choudhary off and compounds that by making 2 other defensive changes late on.We had defended really well as a team ! Ripping it apart with a few minutes to go gave them impetus to have a go ! from a losing position.
Best performance of the season (it had to be as Coventry were really up for it) just tarnished by the late subs understand why Choudhary went as he had had a busy few weeks! The other 2 wernt really necessary as both looked fit and full of it.

Yeah, and generally the ref was fairly consistent all game. Probably too picky, but was consistent and picked virtually everything else up.
 
If it was a foul that caused an injury that led to a player being stretchered off then it could be argued that it was a serious challenge / foul that should have resulted in a yellow card.

Ref didn't even speak to Campbell.
 
Yeah ref got it wrong. Sky played one replay shortly after the incident and it was clear Campbell never touched the GK and he caused his own injury trying to do a fancy turn.
As for Cooper's the player jumped on his head pushing him down in the face its a foul and VAR would have agreed. Impeded Cooper. Can only think Ref didnt see it but not sure where he was.
 
Reluctant to criticise Cooper, but that's one that he should be punching clear. Simple clean sheet if he does that. Those that think keepers should catch everything saw what happened when it doesn't work.

Exactly as I saw it at the time. The attacker has two hands on Coopers shoulders. In that pic he looks like me dunking my kids in the swimming pool. I'm not really sure how the ref missed that. It's not exactly a cheeky shirt pull that is difficult to spot in a crowded area, it's more like a rugby line out. Anel was punished in the first half for a nudge in the defenders back yet here their guy is playing leap frog. I get that it was probably a ball that he shouldn't have come for, but how is he expected to jump when an attacker is literally pinning him to the floor.

Am not disagreeing, but the decision needs to be taken by the 'keeper before the ball arrives. He should anticipate a foul, thus palm it on its way.

This is not a pop at you, I'm not sure why so many are saying there was no contact, maybe Sky didn't show this angle that we got on Viaplay with Paul Walker commentating, but it was Campbell's trailing knee that crunched into the keeper's knee at the moment he had his full weight on it due to doing the fancy turn. 😬

It was a foul and was given by the ref.
