Sunderland v. Cardiff

[Matthew]

Well done Phil Dowd, fantastic to see honesty being rewarded. Might have been outside the box but continued inside for me so the decision was spot on.

 

[haywain]

agreed - though perhaps he should have blown for the penalty little earlier than he did

 

[Matthew]

Perhaps, I think it was pretty obvious the chance was gone as soon as Marshall pushed him out wide.

 

[HullRef]

Still think it was the wrong decision. The foul started outside the box so it should've been a DFK and DOGSO but I do think that the advantage was too long.

 

[Matthew]

Taken from the LotG @HullRef

"If a defender starts holding an attacker outside the penalty area and continues holding him inside the penalty area, the referee must award a penalty kick"

The foul continued until Wickham was just inside the box, so still an excellent decision for me.

 

[Reffariiii]

Great decision for me. Maybe he could have whistled as soon as the striker went wide, but all the same, good decision. Like Gus Poyet said, it would have been easy for the striker to go down but he stayed on his feet and got what he deserved. Well done.

Uh oh. You've got that one wrong, mate.

 

[haywain]

Hull clearly wants to be a commentator when he's older - Sam Whatsisface on five live must have made that incorrect point a good half a dozen times after the incident

 

[Southend-ref]

Sometimes I have to put the TV on mute when commentators start talking out their arse or I might break the screen!!

 

[Ross]

Mines permanently on mute when that clown Townsend is commentating!

I was just testing you all to make sure that you knew the LOTG properly:/:/:/:/:/:/ luckily I've never had this happen to me in a game and you've got to learn at some point
