I hope we can get away from penalties being given because there was “contact”




It`s bloody tough being a legend

I am with Raymie on this one. Yes there was contact but Kizaridis clearly cheated by doing a slightly delayed theatrical dive. For me that was not a natural fall caused by significant contact. Just because you are touched in the penalty box doesn’t justify exaggerating the effect of the contact with “simulation”. I hate that . He should have been booked for simulation as should the Motherwell player who tried to manufacture a penalty later by putting his foot out to the side to try to make contact and then diving to the ground. In my book if there is any obvious simulation a penalty should not be given even if the contact was significant enough to have awarded a penalty in the absence of simulation. This is a cancer spoiling the game.

Whilst I agree with the underlying sentiment, is disagree with your assessment of this incident. That was a stonewaller. There was contact to bring the player down. The added theatre by the player is neither here nor there.

It’s a stone wall penalty for me as well. The contact from the Motherwell player stops kyziridis controlling the ball.

I agree not all contact is a foul but imo there was also enough in this one to bring him down.

I dont think its a penalty, but there were plenty free kicks given in that match for even less.

Initially, didn`t think it was close to being a pen, after watching it again, definitely a pen.

One of those where the theatrics count against the player?

Surprised at the ref checking the screen and not giving it.
