Bredbury Blue Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Oh Alfie! Ref Watch - Dermot Gallagher 1. INCIDENT: David Silva scores but Raheem Sterling tries to play the ball when standing in an offside position SCENARIO: Sterling attempts to play Silva's goal-bound shot but does not make contact. Leicester players appeal for offside against the England winger but referee Bobby Madley awards the goal. DERMOT'S VERDICT: Correct decision DERMOT SAYS: The key issue is, has Sterling played the ball? I'm not convinced he has. I don't believe Kasper Schmeichel can ever get that ball. The other player he can impact is Fuchs and if you look at Fuchs, he doesn't move because the ball is past him. Sterling was not in front of Schmeichel, he didn't block his view. By trying to kick the ball Sterling did not prevent Schmeichel from saving it and I don't believe he prevented Fuchs from playing it. But it does show how difficult it is to be an assistant! 2. INCIDENT: Fernandinho's challenge on Marc Albrighton SCENARIO: The Leicester midfielder was left with a black eye after a collision with Fernandinho's elbow. The referee deemed the incident accidental. DERMOT'S VERDICT: Correct decision DERMOT SAYS: This is the most difficult thing. His arms are up but he didn't throw them. What you have to be careful of is when you see the injury it looks really nasty. You have to bear in mind that doesn't necessarily mean it was a nasty challenge. It was unfortunate I thought. Fernandinho would have been very unlucky to have been punished for that. 3. INCIDENT: Riyad Mahrez's penalty is disallowed SCENARIO: The Leicester forward slips when taking his spot-kick and hits the ball twice before finding the net. The penalty is disallowed. DERMOT'S VERDICT: Correct decision DERMOT SAYS: The law was brought in to stop people dribbling in. What you would say is the slip helps the ball cannon into the top corner, so that gains a massive advantage. It was very unfortunate but the law is correctly applied. OK Alfredo, do you understand now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Martin Demichelis has announced his retirement from professional football. The 36-year-old Argentina international confirmed at an emotional press conference on Monday morning that he is bringing an end to his 17-year career in the game. Always liked Demi at City, must have been very decent in his pomp for Bayern.

Chelsea are the worst offenders; with over 30 players out on loan; but City are following in their footsteps. Add in the fact that both clubs hoover up the best youth players and never play them regularly in their first teams. This causes great damage to England's national side and the game in general.

mrbojangles Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 1 hour ago, champers said: Ronnie P didn't say you were breaking the rules; he said you are abusing the system and you are. No we're not, champers I know what Ronnie said and I replied with "No we're not". I then expanded my answer on the rules. How do you know what constitutes "abusing the system"? A system is in place and there are rules in that system that the governing body have installed, quite rigid ones actually. Now, if they want to change the rules and only let teams have a set amount of players out on loan, then sobeit, they can set the amount and everyone will have to comply. But it isn't yours, Ronnie's or my call to say whether any club is "abusing a system" as we aren't the governing bodies who set the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
