buchan30 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Neither were pens for me.From one angle, the arsenal looks like a pen. From the other, looks like the keeper gets the ball first. The silva one, is where you hear the commentators say “oh, there was contact, he’s entitled to go down” but personally, i don’t think there is enough contact for him to go down. Why zhaka has a hold of his shirt though, i will never know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think any of the other contenders could have done that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeperDee Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 When is pulling a shirt, by the laws of the game, not a foul? There’s no ambiguity about it. Whether it’s applied consistently is up for debate but it’s just something you shouldn’t do if you’re defending in the box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtual Insanity Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Agreed Xhaka is an idiot but Silva is diving before xhaka has touched his shirt so think that infringement should be penalised first. Xhaka grabs his shirt as Silva is falling on top of him so he doesn't impede Silva in any way by the shirt pull. I don't actually know the wording of the laws on this point though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerafc Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Defender pulling Kane with 2 arms around him in the box and no penalty. There is no consistency in this league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entertainment value for everyone else. Why does he look so much better when playing for Switzerland? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silva is going over Xhaka's knee, which has just taken Silva's ability to complete his stride away from him. Again, a foul and a penalty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidernation Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Today’s referees not exactly covering themselves in glory .Definitely a penalty for Citeh, Spurs probably should have had one too, but Spurs are cunty so I don’t really care! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetterlund Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Obviously a pull on the shirt is a foul, but Silva's dive gets more embarrassing the more you see it. He could have continued his stride after coming into contact with Xhaka's leg but threw himself to the ground instead. Xhaka is a fanny for the shirt pull but the dive should disqualify Silva from any gain from it, if they want to be serious about clamping down on cheating (they don't). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It continually amazes me that these otherwise fit, strong athletes have legs that collapse at the slightest breeze on their torso. And that Referees have not noticed this perplexing phenomenon that defies all known laws of human ballistics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure to what extent referees are allowed to use their discretion in these situations, but after looking at the monitor he should have said to Silva "look mate, there's a foul in there but that simulation is embarrassing and I'd book you twice if I could. No pen". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
