Harry Lamb Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 3 hours ago, Declan said: The penalty is red herring, I just mentioned it as another bizarre event during the match. In an ideal world the ref would have been allowed to use common sense an begin with a drop ball, or suggest the taker just passes it back to the goalie. But rules is rules and there's no room for common sense. Having a designated area at games at this level is ridiculous. Wenger's crazy rules committee will be behind it I bet. All it does is give refs one more thing fuss about. It makes local non-entities feel like they're Premier League for an hour or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louis Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 The referee could have given a drop ball on the grounds of outside interference regarding the other whistle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest think it has something to do with problems with certain teams having supporters and the likes inside that designated area and them kicking off when decision goes against there team . Pretty sure nothing to do with Wenger etc. With restrictions on people allowed in this area Referees can have some control over it. And the relevant penalties can be applied .

Why have a designated area in the first place? Supporters are just stood on the touchline around the pitch anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. A lot of pitches have barriers around the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swoopy2110 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 And there you go .. st georges survive, marown relegated. The abandonment at Corinthians was pretty key in that with time remaining. At least the FA will have got what they wanted though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree Man 88 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 There was something a bit odd about combi 1 too where the Ramsey Rushen game was abandoned after an injury and the result stood despite the game not being over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
