All super sports pundits yesterday said that clown made a mistake. Had he used a video to analyse it, he could have seen the ball touched his thigh which he raised to block the ball. Once your thigh is raised, a raised hand wouldn't be termed an unnatural position. It's a penalty and a yellow card.. simple..

Even Mane thought it was harsh and tried to hug James

Lol... All pundit will say it is harsh and it shouldn't be cos of course they're strictly following the handball rule. What dey fail to take into cognizance is the goalscoring opportunity factor. That exact situation outside inside the box without little threat to goal and the ref will wave it aside and he'll be right doing such. But as long as that situation involve a goalscoring opportunity(emphasis on that) and as long as it's blown, the there's only one outcome... RED!!

All pundit will say it's wrong, but if you listen to most refs, they'll tell you Anthony Taylor is right all day long

User09:
Disagree. Here's IFAB rule on handball.

A handball offence is when a player:

- “Deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, for example moving the hand/arm towards the ball;

- Touches the ball with their hand/arm when it has made their body unnaturally bigger. A player is considered to have made their body unnaturally bigger when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body movement for that specific situation. By having their hand/arm in such a position, the player takes a risk of their hand/arm being hit by the ball and being penalised; or

- Scores in the opponents’ goal:
— directly from their hand/arm, even if accidental, including by the goalkeeper; or

— immediately after the ball has touched their hand/arm, even if accidental.”

Can you at any point in James play confirm the bolded above to be 100% certain. Either way u can make an argument for or against.

If u agree with the above, the one argument I think is impossible to make is that it was a clear and obvious error by the referee to allow play to continue. Hence it was needless for VAR to stop play and interfere

In other words, The biggest mistake in the whole play was allowing VAR to involve itself in a borderline call to begin with - they should have stuck with the initial ruling by the referee in real time that no handball occurred. Then they show a frozen image which makes the whole thing even stranger

The issue here is that it didn't factor in goalscoring opportunity.

As long as it denies an obvious goalscoring opportunity, then it's a red all day long. The only situation that can be averted is if the ref did not blow it at all.

Once ref blows such an incidence, a red card must follow, cos it's then a hand ball offence which denies an obvious goalscoring opportunity. They can't give yellow card for that

A very harsh rule, but then it is what it is.

[quote author=Segedinho post=105288100][/quote]All these applies when "it's not an obvious goalscoring opportunity" na.

If that is a handball, then automatically it denied a goalscoring opportunity which is a sending off. The only situation is if that's not a handball (like ref will see it and still say play on). Any other reason ref blow for a pk automatically requires sending off.

Yea it's harsh, but it's what it is.

swiz123:
Just the same way Taylor saw James diving for the ball after sparing just a glance at the monitor. There is nothing more deceptive than still images when analyse a highly mobile sport

That's the issue with your (and you guys judgement) concerning the red card.

The koko is that the the handball (weda intentional or not) disallow a good goalscoring opportunity? The answer is yes.

So he doesn't need a video to analyse it, cos what he just needs to look at is whether it touched James hand or not. Simple. How you guys are oblivious of this rule and be shouting "it's not intentional" is what is even surprising sef.

Just like xhaka red card ystdy, he went in 2 footed, weda he gets the ball first or not, as long as the two feet gets the player to make him go down, it's a pure red. That's the rule which is against two-footed tackle

But Chelsea fans sef, how would you look at that handball and say it's not a red card. Una even go as far as petitioning the ref online .
Granted, maybe the ref have blown wrongly against you guys before, but then make una no see black paint am white na.

Hopefully, I hope Chelsea appeal the red card let's see if Fa will rescind it but e sure me say Fa will still uphold the 3 match ban

Make I still keep am in Team?

yeah... Just 1st week and 2nd week after Intl break make you see say him no go fall your hand again

This is beef of the highest order

I've been called an arsenal fan before I knew what was called football. In my house, my father and I love the club to a fault. We’ve been faithful to the core though we enjoy watching good football from other clubs.

We loved Arsenal because of their passing football which we nicknamed “Arsenal pattern”. We had quality players like Thiery Henry who was nicknamed “IGWE”, Robert Pires, Gilbertson's Silva, Patrick Viera, Fabregas aka Fabrepass and so many of them couched by the Legendary Arsene Wenger.

Arsenal was a competitive team then and among the famed Big four clubs in England. We won the Premier League without losing a match, Won many Fa cups and reached the Champions league finals only to be beaten by Barcelona- Oh what a sad day!�


Well it has been a long time and things have changed. In fact it has changed from bad to worse and the club is living on past glory. To be sincere the decay started from the time of the professor, the club was complacent and didn’t want to build the team from scratch or buy quality players. Promising youngsters were sold and replaced with their subpar versions. We also bought pensioners to fill up sensitive positions.

Well you know the outcome, a horrible performance on the pitch and lack of drive for trophies. It’s like a local bus driver who believes that his bus should always be making money for him and he doesn’t spend enough to put it in good shape. The vehicle will break down sometimes and all he has to do is complain. He does a little surface repairs just the keep the vehicle moving. The vehicle still moves but it’s not in top shape again and can’t compete with others.

Arsenal moved from a premier league competitor to a top 4 competitor which we always celebrated during the later stages of Wenger’s career. From there, we moved to Europa league competitors and still missed the target last season. Were in the Conference league and who knows, maybe we will be fighting relegation battles soon.

It’s a shame that players see Arsenal as a retirement club and come to collect their pensions while arsenal players jump ship to other clubs to have the taste of a real trophy. How come the transfer policy has been same all this while and nobody cares? Don’t they look at other clubs and emulate their success?

Imagine Chelsea of yesterday! Chelsea has 2 champions league and Europa trophies while we still boast of yesterday’s FA cup! Who do us this thing sef?� Imagine I can’t engage in football banters with my friends because I’m an Arsenal fan. Who give dog mouth when lions, tigers and leopards dey shout? In fact the word patience should be replaced with Arsenal but Arsenal dogs don’t end up eating the fastest bone, rather they eat biscuit bones.

What about the high blood pressure suffered by Arsenal fans? We are now called shock absorbers. My Baba don tire for the club sef and He once refused to subscribe for cable TV for some period because of high BP.

I’m really tired and something must be done. I may follow players like Henry, Fabregas, Chamberlain, Giroud and others to jump ship and have the test of trophies. Who no like better thing

KingAlabi:

I don weak for this one

KingAlabi:

Them don shift go tuchel na

The new hot cake in town


Las las sometimes, grass isn't always greener on the other side oo.

You can imagine how guys don tire for here sotey our match dey go on with man city, guys dey discuss BBN

We still have Liverpool and Man u to play. Then the smaller weights like Leicester, Tottenham, Aston villa, west Ham and Everton.

If I say this season no dey fear me ehn

iamoyindamola:
Mehn if Chelsea were breasts, lfc dan press them flat
When will our club have this kind midfield setup

When our coach is out hopefully.

Nothing wey we fit get from this coach abeg!!

iamoyindamola:
Who's watching lfc Vs cfc
2 good teams, great midfield battle
Who else noticed vvd Vs Lukaku always end before getting to them cos LFC midfield already clear whatever threat vvd is supposed to face
Unlike last week that Lukaku was having a free ride on Mari he's struggling to get into the game cos his chances were limited
Just look at fabinho, useless Henderson and young Elliot balling and pressing hard


But we still need defenders
Issokay

Our midfield wey be express??

One thing I do know is that Arteta is getting our structure, pressing (as Sam rightly pointed out) and organization wrong. Right from attack to midfield to defence, until I see that cohesion in the team,(even with the average midfielders we have) then I'll believe we're on the right track.

Most of these smaller team press better than us, most times na quality dem lack. If we can get that right, then half of our problems are solved

Oasis007:


5 goals conceded..... that's huge Bruh. Una fit keep clean sheet against Norwich?!

Lol...
After Intl break our main squad go complete.
In fact, na after Intl break our season dey start. Clean sheet against Norwich suppose dey

Oasis007:


Jodera.... thanks for convincing me to have Tierney in my FPL Team. I'll sell the Eddiot into wilderness. Imagine I played him against City?

Bwahahahahaha

Even attendance point dem no give am

I mean, this guy can stab someone and still smile

kokanepyramid:
Anything to make Arteta win league as soon as possible is welcome by me, at least Phil Jones is a “proven” defender.

Eiii god!!!

Lana1:
If Arteta is still ur manager by the time players come back from the international break then I'll know once and for all that ur club is not serious

Lol, this club no serious from day1. If dem no sack Arteta last season wen him dey do 1 win per month, na this season wey dem spend 130m dey go sack am by August/September?

Lana1:
You guys can still make it. My money is on Arsenal

We suppose use that money go drink peppersoup and chop fish instead of this waste wey you waste am like that

kokanepyramid:
Do you guys have CBs you are not using?

abeg, no just try am o, before dem give us Jones

MorataFC:
I don't know why u ppl are on Arteta? Can u name 3 world class players that can fit in to be a starter in top six in epl teams? Put Arteta in that man city team and pep in that arsenal team and let's see if Pep won't chop goals.

NB: I'm not defending him, he just that he's managing a poor team.

Lol... If only there's a clear pattern and positive sign in the team, then we can say it's the inferior player's fault. But when team play is drab, no organization, no structure, you'll know that's coach issue and not the players' issue.

Arteta na scam abeg

Skimpledawg:
You for no quote it na

Lol... Person wey go soon delete am if Chelsea win??

kokanepyramid:
Na question I ask ooo, make nobody come for me.

I just need more clarity from those that have experience of how defenders win a team the league.

Even in the time of the Mustafis and Luiz e no bad like this.

Lol... Egbon mi, even matter don tire for Mathias

No be even the 5-0 dey vex me sef(after all we don receive 5-0 tire). Na d way wey we lie down like olosho wey dey on heat make dem enter am dey pain me.

Never in my history will arsenal 2nd half possession as at 45-87min(wen it was shown on screen) be 91%-9%.
Where we have 0 corner, 1 shot off target and 500 center balls naim dey pain me.

If dey extend that time reach 1200min, na still dat one lucky shot we go get.


E pass we need CB oo

26th December 2020.
Arsenal vs Chelsea.

The day the destiny of the two clubs changed hands in an unusual manner.

I will bring in my write up later, but I just need to clear my head first

kokanepyramid:
Conceded 9 goals in 3 matches
no goal of your own in 3 matches

Shey Na like this defence will win us the league.


We need more CBs

I bin don dey wait for diz

KingAlabi:

When OGS said that trophies Mask progress, he was referring to you guys.

I tell you.

I remember weda na lequte abi capitalcee abi Lana(I know say na one of them ) then wey been use Arteta as reference point for sharp sharp rebuilding success. Dem dey use Arteta dey troll ole then.

Now d way all man dey avoid Arteta like leprous patient eh.

Mehn, failure gat no fwend

KingAlabi:
Just checked scores, omo thank God I no waste my time.

Na like this we take play the match.

Wen possession na 91%-9% throughout 2nd half, you gatz know say water don pass garri

KingAlabi:
Jodera
You no go take OGS like this

OGS don do full season wey him no make top 4??

At least, una get hope for trophy. Even arsenal fans don forget say we carry Fa cup sef .

Omo, short term gain na bastard

Lana1:
Omo. You sure say una go still finish top 4 like this?

Cc KingAlabi

Wetin concern fowl and teeth?
Wetin concern arsenal and top 4?

We dey think of how not to break the everlasting record of going to relegation, you dey talk top 4

3minssex:
