Other Games 2025-26

Just watched the Manure highlights on motd. Female pundit said definitely a penalty because the shirt pull continued into the penalty area. Both her and the referee should look at the laws of the game. The initial shirt pull and foul started outside the box so should be a free kick. It’s like saying a player was fouled outside the area initially but, as he actually fell in the penalty area, a penalty should be awarded!!

Just watching it on MOTD now.  Highly dubious decision to rule out Fulham's goal as well.

That one was the biggest issue for me. Ridiculous decision.

No, they're spot on, the rule for shirt pulling is that it's a penalty if it carries on into the box.

Yeah. It's not the same at all. Hopefully they're consistent with it now...

I agree, absolutely awful, soft and stupid decision.
