Since when was putting a hand on someone a foul?

A lot of what I have read and heard in the media since yesterday is that it was a definite penalty as Song put his hand on Kane. Is this a foul?

I thought that pushing and pulling was a foul but this is allowed all the time from corners and no one falls over but put a hand on someone in automatic play, down they go, and it is a foul.

It is not just the Kane example but there are a lot others as well. Would these cunts fall over if you put your hand on their shoulder in the pub?

It still isn't... unless you play for certain clubs.

ornchurch what annoys me is that all sorts of off the ball stuff goes on in the penalty box for set pieces and then a different level of behaviour is expected for any other penalty box action.

If the Song/Kane action was also the benchmark at corners for example there would be a penalty at every one.

The problem is that if you touch anyone even just slightly in the area they are going to go down, especially if they are losing in the final seconds of a match.

Song should have known better

Jesus wept...Get over it.

He didnt give a foul because Song placed a hand on Kane, he gave the Penalty because it looked like Song pushed the diving bastard to the floor.

I would have given it. Had that been one of ours going down in the box, no one would be talking about it other than to agree that it was the right decision for the ref at the split second he saw it.

Its gutting, but move the fuck on...

"There was definitely contact, he had every right to go down!"

Right up there with some twat commentating on the chelsea game for Match of the Day the other night, cooing about how one of the rent boy's rolling about faking injury was him "Using football's 'dark arts' there, no good team chasing silverware gets it without employing 'the dark arts' along the way"

Cunts. The lot of them.

If anyone saw the Southampton vs Liverpool game they will be aware of the glaring inconsistencies present in refereeing decisions

There were at least 2 instances of Southampton players being more than just touched, blatently hacked down inside the box & nothing given

I couldn't give a monkeys about Southampton, but I'm saying it's wrong that different referees interpret the laws of the game so differently

I can't believe anyone is asking if a push is a foul really.

It is ludicrous that a touch on the shoulder meaning someone collapses is a penalty.
Unless its a corner where you could twist someones head clean off and boot it over the stand and nothing would be given.

Since the premiership was formed and football became gay.

Re: Since when was putting a hand on someone a foul?

Funnily enough I remember being coached to touch the man I was marking and watch the ball at free kicks. That way you knew when he moved while watching where the attack was.

There is nothing stopping that. Except if a player goes down it might look as though you pushed him...

Re: Since when was putting a hand on someone a foul?

I'm over the Kane penalty but it is just an example of the point I am making.

Every time a centre back goes up to contest a header from a long ball he puts his hand on the forwards shoulder. Why not a foul every time?

Re: Since when was putting a hand on someone a foul?

The MOTD pundits (lawrenson in this case) make me sick when justifying acts like this. It's just revolting and cheating will be more and more part of the game with these pricks saying 'he had every right'...why did he have every right then you fucking thatched house haired cunt...?? It's CHEATING, end of.

It was apenalty wether we like it or not.

Simple really dont fucking touch him and he wont go down

Garth Algar 7:56 Mon Feb 23
Re: Since when was putting a hand on someone a foul?

They didn't deserve a penalty for that. How come he never went down when his team mates ran into him to celebrate?? Much more force in that surely...

Get over it ffs, he made the most of it but it was a penalty

Re: Since when was putting a hand on someone a foul?

Modern football is shit in as much as it's become namby pamby with no proper tackles anymore. poncey millionaire footballers rolling around as if they've been shot and then get up as soon as they've hoodwinked the officials. Tarts.

And Tomkins had better get that out of his game. I thought he'd learned after that face-clutching episode but yesterday he was at it again, the spurs bloke hardly touched him but he went down holding the back of his head. wtf

Re: Since when was putting a hand on someone a foul?

I said the same yesterday. It's not fucking netball merely touching an opponent is NOT a foul.

It was a dive pure and simple and every single time i see this it pisses me the fuck off.

If someones at full tilt and gets a knock i can see how that could knock you over. Otherwise its a crock of shit. If you make a decision to fall down its a dive. Pure and simple

Garth Algar 8:06 Mon Feb 23
Re: Since when was putting a hand on someone a foul?

I am over it Davies, but still believe it wasn't a penalty, that's all.
