Live Match Discussion 2023/24

[Squeak]

Up to the ref to manage that, it's smart football. Players try to move the ball for throw ins and free kicks every match all the time. It's gamesmanship not cheating

It's cheating. End of.

Naive. End of

 

[Wolftone]

Rubbish from Damsgaard and Mee.

 

[Wolftone]

What a goal by Maupay

 

[Alan]

Toney to take up Zaha’s mantle, I see.

And now Maupay with a Macheda Moment.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

That’s a cracking goal from Maupay.

 

[Alan]

Jesus, VAR wearing Hyper X headsets. Try to look a little professional you ninnies.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Nowhere near handball. Suck it up Forest.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Roerslev has Anthony Michael Hall in The Breakfast Club vibes.

 

[Alan]

Fuck off ref and Collins. Those shouldn’t be given. Piss weak.

If some clown is stupid enough to barge straight into the back of you then milk it for all it's worth.

Why have ref's, foam, the game?
At least we know where your moral compass lives.

That’s an extremely generous use of “barge”.

Defenders are given far too much leash in those situations.

Its one of those things, the ref should have caught, so should VAR and forest definitely should have kicked up a fuss, but none of those things happened so Toney gets an advantage.

If you pardon the obvious, he took a gamble and it paid off

VAR did catch it fwiw. Said it wasn’t their responsibility to intervene.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

It's not a fair challenge is it? You can go shoulder to shoulder with someone but you can't just run straight into the back of them, that's a foul.

Collins got into position, for a change, underneath the ball and the Forest player just ran straight into him, didn't try to get into a position alongside him to make a proper challenge or anything. Was it enough to send Collins tumbling? Almost certainly not, could it have been enough to make him slew an attempted clearance for a corner or into his own net? Possibly. Why take the chance when you can just mug the offender off with a cheap freekick instead?

 

[The Bear]

Has Carragher been calling him "Even Toney" all game?

 

[Alan]

Appreciate the effort but it’s flaccid defending and does my head in. Not going to be swayed on that.

Really? I missed that, that's effing ridiculous

Flaccid.

He gave his team a free hit of a clearance when they'd been under pressure because his opponent made a brainless challenge.
