Quote from: pelty on November 23, 2020, 04:07:42 PMIn what world do people think that is not a penalty? I respect one's right to an opinion, but Trez cuts the ball back and the defender gets a touch but then proceeds to hack Trez's shins. Let's allow that the player "defended the ball" (which is dubious), he then impedes Trez's ability to continue to play and chase down the ball by taking him down in the box. By any reasonable standard, that is a penalty. Again, I respect a person's right to view it as a fair play, but it surprises me greatly that anyone does!So by definition you think every tackle with contact is a foul? Every sliding tackle is a foul etc?

It is the MON dilemma, do you weaken the team by playing the second string or risk burn out and injuries by sticking with the best X1.
The grass was too long for our game. The ball was moving around more slowly than normal.
I don't see how you can watch this 7 or 8 times and not see how the defenders touch significantly takes the ball away from Trez. It may not be clean but it deflects the ball substatially. In that action he then clips Trez - if he hadn't got the ball it would of course have been a pen. It's a tackle. It may not be an aesthetically pleasing one but it still nips the ball away from Trez. Personally I don't want to see a game where slight contact after a tackle is deemed a foul.https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12140105/ref-watch-dermot-gallagher-on-conor-gallagher-bruno-fernandes-incident-not-a-penalty
Trez could have stayed on his feet if he wanted
