There are certain players where commentators always use their full name, and the only reason I can think of is it rolls off the tongue better. For example , Harley Dean or Luca Hoole, and the one that always stands out is Solly March.

cidered abroad Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 This still photo shows how difficult it is to make a judgement from only one angle. A view at 90degrees to that could show that Naismith completely missed the Hull player? I, personally, would prefer that all sports would return to the good old days before immediate pictures were available to prove a decision right or wrong. As Ian Botham once said "All players make mistakes and so do referees. But it is only sport!" (Or words to that effect) But as we have the equipment in use at Premier level, in FA cup games when a Prem team is home, it should be in use at all EFL matches.

Robbored Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 It many games penalty decisions frequently cause outrage with the managers as we’ve seen recently with Nige. Players dive in the box…….. which in itself causes disgust and puts added pressure on the officials. Maybe doing away with the box completely, just keeping the 6 yard box would remove all the acrimony. Without the penalty box any fouls given are taken from where the foul took place. That would then create situations where the entire defending team are packed on the goal line or where the attacking team have to take the free kick in a more inventive fashion as the defenders can’t move the required 10 yards. Btw…….before I get shot down, this is just an idea………….. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 23 hours ago, Red-Robbo said: Every week at BBC Sport Online, usually after extensive badgering, Crooks would submit a feature called "Garth Crooks' Team of the Week": the 11 best-performing players in the Prem. It was not infrequent for these teams to feature players who had not played that week, were injured, or in one case - had left the club and country. You'd put in your own choices in those cases, to save GC embarrassment. Not normally a fan of social media in response to pundits, it can get far too personal & downright nasty. But the ones you see in response to Crooks & this embarrassing “team of the week” stuff are often hilarious. He has got an incredibly inflated view of his own importance, never says anything original or worth hearing & seems to have got this gig for life for reasons I will never fathom. There are plenty of other pundits I cannot stand, Lawrenson was awful, Don Goodman & Lee Hendrie (who even by footballer standards is incredibly stupid) come to mind, but Crooks’ self regard means he’ll always be at the top of this list for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he went down late, but there was clear contact and it was a foul. ...as there was on Atkinson on Tuesday night.

That presumably rests in part on the guidance given to referees that contact does not necessarily mean a foul and that there must be genuine consequences. Guidance the match referee presumably hadn't read or chose to ignore. So, despite there being "clear contact on the player's shin", the letter confirms that it should not have been a penalty. Of course, this is not about proving whether Harry is right/wrong, but it highlights the absolutely ludicrous lack of consistency in refereeing and their application of the laws of the game. If Hull's was a penalty then so was Atkinson's and visa versa. Then you get the Sykes sending off, where those of my generation will remember, not that long ago, that it would have been regarded as a fair challenge ( one that Gerry Gow would carry out almost every game!). However, the classification of a yellow/red card foul now introduces an element of judgement as to whether the challenge was reckless and/ or endangered the player being tackled. Given that it seems far too many referees have a problem making simple judgements about straightforward decisions ( most are too naive to judge when they are being conned by player simulation) then I wonder how they can judge more complicated incidents. P.S. The last paragraph is not to excuse Sykes' red card, as the intent was pretty clear I'm afraid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fanbase we tend to feel a bit better whilst playing the underdog role. I think historically, as a fanbase we see ourselves as rightfully a middling Championship club - but would rather operate in that situation whilst feeling like an underdog. The atmosphere is always better when we're an underdog. I think signing players for 7 figures regularly for that weird period from 2016-2020 was a real culture shock to our fans. Add to that having a new stadium and regular crowds of 20,000+.. it all felt a bit alien. I look back on the Gary Johnson era (where we genuinely did feel like underdogs most weeks) as some of my favourite times watching City. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Watched the incident back the other day on the City highlights. Sykes red card had 4 incidents , 3 up to this and obviously the Freeman retaliation- all 4 went against us. In order... 1) Challenge on Atkinson- no penalty. Not wholly convinced it was as some you get etc but anyway penalty given and no Sykes challenge and no red card. 2) Just before the red card tackle, I thought Sykes was sandwiched by two players? He was and while never a red if a foul is correctly given- no bad tackle by Sykes and no red card! 3) If 1 or particularly 2 happen, no red card for Sykes- with the tackle he probably had to go... 4)...Yet if he goes, surely Freeman's retaliation also a red. Wasn't a shove etc but...can't retaliate like that yet then again Bennett we thought couldn't kick out on the ground yet it's only a yellow now. Just checked again, 5:08-5:16 for incidents 2-4 on the Luton highlights, like I say the penalty maybe or maybe not.

cellist Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Both us and Luton fined £8500 for failure to control our players. Hadn't the referee lost any sort of control in the moments before the incident? When you don't give the foul against Sykes, what do you expect?
