Yeovil TV and dirty barstards

[BladeFisher]

How the hell is McAllister still on the pitch after a challenge like that? Putting Robson in hospital.

As for Sky, thought I was watching Glovers TV. Might as well have had Megson co-commentating as Goodman FFS.

defo penalty and red card in the first half.

 

[mr glossop]

terrible decision that on robson defo red card

 

[judge]

Goodman made me lol when he said the handball from mcfadz was a deffo pen

 

[oaklandrdblade]

I thought Goodman staarted off by being very balanced. Then on the Robson incident it was something along the lines of "Mcallister made himself big by sticking out an elbow after a glance over his shoulder - not a penalty for me". And in the second half when the Yeovil fullback took a throw in having kicked it out himself said " Worth a try - to con the officials" Think that sums up the state of football

Bloody hell why did sky hire this bloke ......
On topic thought I might have saw something on Robson, well it sounded as they should have had 2 sent of and us a pen, I didn't personally spot anything at the match.
but 1-0 up and a good performance....

 

[KenMcnaughtsNuts]

even ignoring the obvious red card, how was that "challenge" on mcdonald not a penalty again? im sure in the rules somewhere it says you cant just pull a player to the ground to stop him getting to the feckin ball! not sure how clear cut you need it to be.

 

[KenMcnaughtsNuts]

im a bit confused now. i meant a defo red card for the 2 footed tackle, was that mcallister? absolutely shocking tackle. straight red for me.

i missed an elbow?

Both were McAllister.

The two footed was a straight red card in Europe. In England it's a toss up as to whether the ref gives it. Not seen a replay, but it was an awful "challenge" from a few yards away on John Street.

 

[stannyblade]

yes ken. Same player elbowed Robson to stop him getting to ball. Two definite penalties first half but then Harry could have given them one late on.
Things I noticed on tv was how slow their back four is. (even as slow as ours) and also how quick their keeper liked to kick the ball. Also looked better when Mcfadzean came on

Yeah the commentary of tonights game was so biased which I didn't expect from those commentators. Its "Oh arnt Yeovil doing so well" when they were just punting the ball anywhere and the foul on Robson I am sure Goodman said that it wasn't a foul. At times I thought they were watching a different match to be honest.

The elbow was a total disgrace. At first it looked like McAllister was shielding the ball but what he did was see Robson coming for the ball, checked, stuck his elbow back in a jabbing motion to strike Robson then moved towards the ball. In slow mo it is so obvious. And the ***t said at the end straight into camera "I don't know what happened". Yeah you lying shite. To me it should be SUFC straight onto the FA and get the sod banned from Mondays game. Absolutely disgraceful. It was more blatant than Morgs on Hume, trouble is you only really see it all on a slow mo replay so in a way that's probably why the ref missed it (again).

The club should really complain.

 

[IOM Blade]

Two blatant pens, but i think the ref gives one of the handballs if the first half appeals didnt happen. We were shite, but i'll definitely take it. Thought Harry was a liability tonight tho.

 

[KenMcnaughtsNuts]

wow. dirty bastard. i wonder if morgs knew? he was going mental at the tackle and rightly so, if he knew what he'd done to robson too he must have had steam coming out of his arse!

The tackle could easily have seen red, but it wasn't blatantly two footed. Contact was made with one foot but he really did lunge in and clean out Westlake with what was a potential ankle breaker. My first reaction was red, but the ref was lenient. Not the worst decision I've ever seen, but he was lucky to stay on.

The elbow wasn't unlike Morgan's famous effort, but the difference was he actually looked for the player before doing it, and contact was much lower. I called penalty at the time and replays showed it was actually worse than first appeared.

Just going off how it looked in real time from my seat on half way, so can see how it might not have been clearly two. Like you say, potential ankle breaker. Some would have given red, some don't. Either way, he was a lucky boy not to have a minimum of two yellows.

All day long. Only quickly saw a replay at half time, but he looked in a perfect position to see it.

 

[KenMcnaughtsNuts]

its repeated on sky 1 at midnight, im gonna watch the first half to see the elbow i missed and the tackle again. maybe it wasnt two footed (not sure) but he cleaned him out. and the ball was in a different time zone.

what was the other pen they claimed for 2nd half? i can only remember the maguire obviously accidental handball.

Just compressing my recording , the other shout was again handball with McFadzean, who had his arms into his body but they flicked the ball at him at the front post.

That one looked fairly dodgy on the replay I thought. Re: the tackle on Westlake, McDonald's tackle a second before while not quite as bad wasn't too clever either.

The Robson incident was a blatant penalty. The fact he has suspected fractured ribs tells you everything you need to know from that incident.

Overall, I didn't think we were too bad. Thought Porter & McFadzean had very good games. Cracking save late on by Long too.

 

[Foxy]

Not got any video editing software on this machine capable of coping with the 1080p source, but here's a couple of quick grabs:

Two handed drag to the floor on Macca :

​

Quick couple of looks at Robson, elbow up and out plenty early and straight into the ribs, the most damning replay is the one over the refs shoulder:

​

Had it been Chris Morgan, it'd still be on a loop on Sky Sports News, rather than the excuses they made for McAllister "making himself big".

The tackle could easily have seen red, but it wasn't blatantly two footed.

I was a bit harsh with the two footed, he got the other foot back down and to the side... Probably missed it while getting up to berate the challenge to be fair

[secretchief]

All four incidents were penalties, most clear enough in real-time. Both in the first half were clearly fouls, both in the second half were obvious handballs.

 

[Toronto Blade]

Clearly a nasty elbow should have been a red and pen that McAlister is a dirty sod also the two footed lunge a yellow given instead of a red.Not to mention the two handed pull down in the first half an obvious penalty all shown on Sky. A totally incompetent ref nearly cost the Blades the win and let off McAlister who puts Robson out for the rest of the playoffs with no suspension for himself.

 

[Toronto Blade]

Sky filmed the match the tape should be sent to the league for suspension as the ref made no call on the incident he either had his eyes shut or his vision impaired. The ref didn't see it there is tape for the league to look at it was an obvious red card and penalty which sent a player to hospital with broken ribs.

 

[SRBlade]

McFadz was never a hand ball, his arm was at his chest, if his arm was not there the ball would have still gone out for a corner.........

 

[BladeFisher]

All four incidents were penalties, most clear enough in real-time. Both in the first half were clearly fouls, both in the second half were obvious handballs.

The second half ones against Utd weren't pens. MacFadean would have been harsh, but they have been given, especially if the attacking team is Man U, Chelsea or if playing Sheff U, Liverpool. The Maguire one - no way. You need to go to Specsavers if you think that was a pen. The ball ricocheted of Maguire's left knee and flew up to his right arm. Could have gone anywhere. The sooner pens are awarded for hand to ball rather than ball to hand the better. Like all these things best seen on Sky, sorry Glovers TV.

 

[KenMcnaughtsNuts]

both pens. not quite sure what hes on about making himself big. he elbowed him right in the chest ffs. big my arse. unbelievably lucky twastard not to get sent off.

 

[Toronto Blade]

Can't give a pen when the ball hits the knee then up off the arm give that and you are giving pens left and right.

 

[KenMcnaughtsNuts]

the mcfadz one was more of a pen than maguires. maguires never in a million years.

 

[boo radley]

They have a rule in rugby, something along the lines of 'lazy running'. They have made football less physical to promote more technique, skill and protect players. If they really want to promote this further then introduce some rule about playing the man and not the ball.
The TWAT who took Robson out, was no where near the ball with his sole intention of stopping Robson getting to it. He even looked round to block his run.
People have this misguided thought about 'shielding the ball'. To me the ball has to be in a playing distance for this to be seen as any form of skill. Apart from the pen I can think of two minor incidents of play involving this. Collins for us shielding the ball out of play for a goal kick, preventing the Yeovil player getting to the ball. Ball was within Collins playing distance (in the 1st half). Yeovil player in the 2nd half changing direction constantly as the ball was running towards his keeper, ball not in his playing distance and looking over his shoulder constantly to block the run of our player (Murphey/McFadzean) preventing him putting pressure on the keeper.

Dear Don Goodman,

A player can "make himself big" if he takes a course of growth hormones, stands on a step ladder, or eats a lot of very unhealthy food and doesn't exercise properly, like Wayne Rooney most summers.

The only way a player can suddenly "make himself big" is if he's a fucking wizard, which last time I looked were as real as dragons, pixies, soap in Barnsley and cats who aren't big nesh fannies when the hoover comes out.

You can't "make yourself big" instantly. It's called "sticking your elbows out" or "getting in the way". I thought Andy Townsend was a candidate for Shittest Co-commentator but Don Goodman runs him a close second.

Mind you, in a Division Three play-off match you'll get Division Three analysis, with the emphasis on the anal.
