windermereROYAL Seeing fat boy and their fans whinging about injustices really is quite funny.

These things have an uncanny habit of turning full circle, One of their players had no problem of getting aggressive against a 16 year old full back up at their place resulting in Kelvin getting a red.

Remind us what the fat cunt said after that.

Fuck them, moan all you like, we don`t care.

It's not like any of the decisions were actually wrong


Having carefully analysed the two main incidents I thought were wrong, I now tend to agree with you.

Hugill on Bindon - right at the last minute there seems to be a pull on his shirt around the shoulder. Without that there wasn't enough for him to go to ground. With it, it's a foul so no goal. Not entirely cut and dried, but not an obvious refereeing mistake either.

The "offside goal." Yes, Mbengue puts it in the net. But the Rotherham player is close enough to the keeper to be considered interfering with play. There wouldn't have been a riot had it stood, but again, no a howler.

Both penalties were penalties.

Still curious about the two-footed lunge on Mbengue that ended in a free kick to them, a really obvious handball right in front of the SJM that the assistant didn't flag.

Only seen the highlights as I'm still without internet at home, so can't comment on anything not in those.

Agree that you wouldn't be shocked if different decisions were made (disgruntled maybe), but there was enough to justify what was made.

On the penalty law discussion, a common-sense reading of the law is that you can’t have a situation where the ball is on the spot and the keeper doesn’t know which of several opposition players standing on the line will actually run in to take it.

As for the taker just standing away from the box, it’s not only the keeper who is capable of shit-housery.
