Interesting quote from the opposition view...West Ham was there for the taking
What would be the result if he deemed to have pushed him?Bubbles Fortuna wrote: ↑Mon Feb 13, 2023 12:24 pm I can only assume they were weighing up whether the James push on Rice was enough to cause a problem.
Part of the reason he was offside is because James shoved him there.
Opposition view, or KUMB?"Same old, same old. Can only imagine Moyes is playing Antonio in the hope he hits some form for the CL. As it was another game where he gets no goal, no assist, and adds cannot stay onside to get us a goal. Bowen made their keeper make a good save, otherwise poor. Benrahma worked hard, otherwise poor. Emerson the best of them, we actually scored a goal. Sadly the shadow of Coufal did not do his job properly in following Felix's run. Toothless up front, but what else is new? Instead of bringing Fornals on and going for it, you swap Soucek in for Paqueta. Laughable. Second half was yet more torture through boredomball."
I really don't know the rules on that, if James had punched Rice in the race before the ball is kicked he's still sent off right? Would it be a penalty or just a red and carry on?El brooko79 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 13, 2023 12:32 pm What would be the result if he deemed to have pushed him?
He was pushed before the ball was in play so can't be a pen surely?
Retake the free kick?
Sounds like a right nightmare to sort
This has been a big issue for a while. I'm not sure whether it's a case of our players not showing properly for the ball, but the amount of times the thrower looks for options, gets a bit frustrated, panics a bit, then launches one up the line in the vague direction of one of our players, is ridiculous. If I were an opposition manager, I'd be tempted to instruct my players to kick for touch in the corners.
Don’t think he ever had it. Has never been in touch with football, football fans or offered any actual intelligence or insight.the pink palermo wrote: ↑Mon Feb 13, 2023 12:23 pm There's a reason The Times have rehired Martin Samuel.
Dear old 'enry has lost the plot.
Throw ins drive me up the wall. They must take at least 30 seconds each time and always end up with the opposition bearing down on our goal.Dieter Eckstein wrote: ↑Mon Feb 13, 2023 12:38 pm This has been a big issue for a while.

I still think our movement is crap. I'm not saying we don't move - we do - we just don't do it intelligently enough. This is apparent with various aspects of our game... when we take throw ins is obviously one. It's also apparent when we're struggling to progress the ball forward, and those times we end up playing it back to the keeper from an attacking position.Albie Beck wrote: ↑Mon Feb 13, 2023 9:02 am This - we lose possession from almost every throw we have.
To be honest I don't like the these decisions even themselves out business.

Cant stick him, is there a more arrogant journo out there?davids cross wrote: ↑Mon Feb 13, 2023 4:10 pm I've been mentioning it for years...
He is probably in the worst 3 or 4 (national) football journalists out there.
His articulately argued points, crossed with the plum in his voice lets him get away with absolute murder. His judgement is shocking on players too...Also an arrogance that I don't like. But then again....I don't like any football journalists much tbh....
They have far too much self importance......and I like them getting pulled down a few pegs here and there...
My personal fav was the guy that said if VAR had checked it for longer he would be 50% certain it would have been given as a penUp the Junction wrote: ↑Mon Feb 13, 2023 12:33 pm The opposition view: Chelsea
