Ipswich 1-2 Wolves: Verdict Thread

Happiest I’ve been all season, another season of top flight football, 8 on the spin my 13 year old self would be in dreamland.
We’ve not reversed our fortunes by being boring or pragmatic just had a coach in charge who knew what was doing.
 
Not seen anything yet as been out with the granddaughter in Yorkshire but been following the score and felt despondent when we were a goal down for so long. When Sarabia equalised I'd have taken the point so for JSL to grab a winner, magnificent! 3 wins and a draw from the 4 games without Cunha has to be commended and that 12 point gap feels wonderful.

Vitor... from 5 points adrift to 12 points clear, I love this guy!
 
The delay from Banks to give the back pass was interesting. Possibly needed us to claim for him to give it!

Such utter bollocks that Palmer gets no punishment for that - as said.
Yeah, tbf ref’s hands are tied there. They’ve followed the rules correctly.

Agreed it needs looking at. Listening to talk sport they were saying when it’s a back pass the keeper in effect just becomes another player. If a centre back did that, what would the punishment be?

No card, and incorrect free kick for 6 yards outs isn’t really comparable to being denied a blatant goal.
 
People are missing the point. The rules may say “keeper handling a back pass” doesnt = yellow card. The same as “delaying restart” =
Yellow card. But that’s considering a keeper picking a nothing pass up. When your clearing a ball off your goal line with foul play youre opening up a whole nother section of the rules - DOGSO. This was a fuck up by the ref, unless there is a clause in DOGSO which says back passes don’t count. Basically it’s a section of the rules that rarely happens and they didn’t know what to do, common sense tells you it’s a red card and indirect FK.

No, that’s you assuming the rule is assuming a keeper picking up a nothing back pass. They’ve applied the letter of the law. It’s the law that’s an arse in this case

Nah. I think it’s a grey area that’s got no legislation either way. Doesn’t mean you can’t apply common sense.

You're missing the point, no keeper has ever got sent off for this.

As I mentioned it happened to us v Albion in the 90s, it was a DOGSo. No red card, there will be other examples that others may remember, that are very similar I'm sure with no red card.

The law is crap and needs changing, but it was applied in the right way today as it is written.
 
I thought Ambrose was good on co-comms today despite the obvious possible bias.

Liked him as a player too, underrated.
 
But it has got legislation!?
I think it might be clarified over the summer.

It should be a red, as he's cheated to stop a goal, however I think it's such a niche situation that the rules don't cover it.

Even without the rules covering it he should have booked Palmer imo.

Yeah agree with all that.

You are making something up which doesn't exist. It's not DOGSO, it's a goalkeeper using his hands. There's lots of things I'd change about the game, particularly around what's viewed a foul and red cards, it doesn't mean those decisions are incorrect just because I'd like them to be.
