Dumb things players say #97

striker standing still tries a shot on a flaoting cross (which is in the sun in fairness) and misses the ball completely. The keeper comes charging out and also misses the ball, clattering the striker in the process.

Obvious penalty.

"Ref, that can't be a penalty! The keeper has right of way!"

WTF does that mean?

 

[ref craig]

lol that's the worst appeal ever did he get a red for his competence as well

You know you have to give way to the left in the penalty area?

It means keeper is a 'big lad' and once he starts going he can't stop

so far I can't believe its only me and @Mike that know you ALWAYS give way to the left in the PA

did you kind of smirk and shake your head in dismay? or make him stand in the corner with a dunce hat? make him write on the team board after 'I shall not make stupid appeals on penalty decisions' over and over?
