Very disappointed about that but it was a long shot. Not concerned in the slightest who we face in the CL playoffs. If your in it to win it you gotta play the best teams anyway and with our pedigree in that competition we can never be overlooked and will always be feared.

wilai Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 The Lovren/Bamford clash..... Initially I crapped it as I thought a pen/RC had to be given. Even after the replays I thought we/d had a bit of good fortune thinking ref hadn't seen it. However, ref said he did see the incident and didn't award it because Bamford deliberately 'put the brakes on' and caused the collision. What do you reckon?

Watching it live I started cursing Lovren instantly. Watching the reply I wondered how the referee didn't give it. The ref is right though, he put the brakes on and played for the pen. I just don't know how the ref could see that at full pace. I don't know why Bamford didn't just play the ball and take a shot.

Commentators for the TV feed I had thought Bamford was reaching back with his arms and looking to go down. Not a lot of contact, but some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilai Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Was certainly a good spot by the ref. Btw, Bamford has admitted he 'slowed down' but that he can't shoot when running at full pace! How much is he on a week!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you reckon? think i'd have been livid if it had happened to us at the other end and wasn't given. only small point in our favour was that it probably occurred outside the area. so perhaps only a free-kick but still a red card for lovren. we got away with that one.
