Completely agree. Never a foul or offside.

Well it WAS a foul. He backed into the keeper as the kick was taken.

Foul.

The offside is more debatable but it should be irrelevant as the would should be given.

I think they would. Ref saw the replay and knew he’d made the right decision. No way that was interfering. Take your point though that he might have favoured the big club. 

Yes, I think they would too.

A separate argument about the keeper being fouled initially, and there is certainly a point there.

Thing is, it's been going on for years, game in, game out.

Whatever happened to "obstruction"?

See I think if that’s a foul then we are in trouble. But the fact is it’s all subjective which makes VAR bollocks. Neither of us is wrong as such but both see it differently. Should just be one bloke deciding like it was.

Give over.  If we're going down that route then no corner will ever be taken ever again without a foul being given to one side or the other.

The melee of a bunch all going for the same ball is quite different then a player looking at the keeper and backing into him as the corner is taken.

Now, maybe a proper keeper would have flattened the fckr, but he WAS fouled.

This isn't difficult.

You're right, it isn't.

It wasn't a foul.

Is it obstruction?

Making no attempt to play the ball, but trying to prevent an opponent from doing so.

Gone from the game now

It happens all over the pitch now.

It's not basketball.

It does. Largely because the rule is no longer applied.

Basketball analogy is not relevant, as football already has the rules in place.

Arsenal would be below United if they applied obstruction on keeper

Indeed.

Set piece coaches utilising every bit of the "art" to maximise outcomes.

May as well do what you can to get results.

It is relevant.

Basketball is non-contact which is what @Dr. Feelgood thinks football should also be.

By that he means I don't believe a player should be blocked, off the ball, folks.

You seem to be struggling with the fact it is a rule of the game. 

Irrespective of whether it is a contact sport.

Therefore your analogy isn't relevant.

The only issue is the application of the rule.

It is also not applied when defenders deliberately shield the ball over the line, without ever trying to play it. Deliberately blocking an opponent.

If you don't believe it should be a rule, fair enough, but it is.

For some reason I might watch Forest v Palace

Zzzzzzzzz

This Anderson chap is class for Forest.

[Marc505]

I expected a bit more from Palace so far this season but a league featuring 4 teams with no wins between them after 8 games is a bit poor.

Think he played against us for Newcastle U21’s a couple of years ago.

IIRC we beat them easily but he was still the classiest player on the pitch.

I decided that Valencia v Las Palmas might be a better watch and by the fuck it was too!

5 goals, 20 odd yellows, one red, penalty, shock result, ill tempered shithousery, foaming at the mouth fans.

What a game.
