push in the back?

breaking news hazard first human being with his back located under his arm

Oh yeah, pushing him in the side is much better.

Perhaps he should have wrestled him to the ground instead? That always works, right?

Terry and Ivanovic should hit the gym more imo

work on there take down defence while there at it

Some penalties you deserve you'll not get, and some you do get you won't have deserved. I've always been of the opinion that these things more or less even out over the course of a season, which is why you'll rarely see me raging inordinately about refereeing decisions in the Chelsea section. Did Chelsea deserve a penalty for one two of their players being manhandled to the ground in the box last weekend? Apparently not. Did they deserve to have a player sent off and the resultant freekick end in being equalised on at the death courtesy of a United player being fouled by thin air? Apparently so. Did they deserve a penalty this afternoon for Hazard being bulldozed into by an opposition player in the box? Well, for everyone with half a brain yes, but for you evidently not.


In any event, it was a stonewall penalty. Though the irony of a United fan feigning outrage at and moralising on a home side having supposedly dubious decisions go in their favour is indeed welcomed comic relief on an otherwise mundane Saturday evening.

oh look came out of the chelsea section to defend divezard

gil has you all well trained

and i'm not "OUTRAGED"

just calling it a push in the back is false and i provided evidence for it to help you all see through those blue glasses

could care less about QPR

I've not defended anyone (and would be more than happy to be quoted on where I supposedly have). Does Hazard dive sometimes? Yes. Did he dive that time? No.

Gil? I've not spoken a direct word to Gil on here in my 2½ years of membership on this site. If you've not noticed, Gil rarely actually comments in the Chelsea section, and I myself rarely ever comment outside of it. If you've any correspondence between the two of us that he or I is unaware of, I'll be more than happy to see that produced, as well.

Could have fooled me.

Now I understand. Being bulldozed over in the back = penalty. Being bulldozed over in the side = not a penalty. Got it.

As someone who is completely neutral as I couldn't care less about Chelsea winning or losing as I support a team far far away from them.

It's obviously a penalty.

Sissoko is a relieved man that Janmaat's challange on Balotelli (which biased pov should of been red) getting all the attention, terrible terrible challenge.

It's worse looking than it was, I don't think for a second he intended to hurt Allen.

It was poorly timed though, unlike the Janmaat tackle which he obviously had no intent to win the ball and just wanted to take Balo out.

Meh I'd be pissed about those ref decisions if we actually stood a chance of winning this match. That performance deserved relegation let alone a 1-0 loss.

Intent or not, that was a studs up challenge that made full contact with the calf. That's a red card 8 times out of 10.

It's obviously a soft penalty.

As someone who is completely neutral as I couldn't care less about QPR winning or losing as long as they don't sell us Taarabt.

The defender doesn't get the ball and the contact isn't shoulder to shoulder, reasonable decision to give a penalty.

Dosto, my man

Harry Kane last minute freekick winner. 7 goals in 7 games now

Next defoe possibly. Legit?

Refs were against Villa from the kick-off. From a soft red for Benteke, to not giving blatant corners, to slowing down Villa's attacks

Spurs' luck will only go on for so long

So Rojo dislocated his shoulder and Smalling misses the next game

Are there even enough defenders left to fashion a United back line?

those kids McNair and Blackett are better anyway than any of the other clowns they have.
Blessing in disguise.

Villa so unlucky today. An off-the-ball red card for their star player who has just gotten back from a long injury lay-off. Suspended for three games now. And they went on to lose the game to an added-time, deflected free-kick. Damn.

Kompany

Rooney should have smashed it man

Kompany and Mangala both

Kompany best defender in the world apparently

Kompany wouldn't even be the best defender on my Sunday league team.

(Skrtel-mistakes)>>Kompany

and to think clueless haters keep mouthing off about my man Micho while he's the one keeping City together

All the promoted teams in the relegation zone after 10 games
