Old Sod's Army-from the mess

[bog]

A bit late, after the horse has done something, if this has already been covered please ignore. Should we not have been awarded a penalty in the first half when Robinson was 2mm from being kicked in the head? Not clutching straws but I have seen these given. If Robo had not moved his head the boot would have made contact.

Hard work getting over that result, well trying to.....

I agree, I said to my wife that was a bit dangerous, (although she wasn't the slightest bit interested, being that she is a Spurs supporter).

If he fell down holding his head it probably would have been given, it was so close to his head I'm not sure they would be able to see to overturn it. Not advercating that as I don't like to see players making a meal of things but I'm sure the opposition wouldn't think twice about doing it.

It was close but no contact.
The one for me was Garcia's header that the Palace defender raised his arms and blocked it. Think the ref gestured that it was too close. But it was on target...

I do wonder how Bruno Fernandes would have reacted if in Robo's boots. Tough one that.

It's a difficult one this, in one sense we can admire him for not going down as there was no contact, and then we can suggest he should have gone down as it was dangerous, which of course is cheating.
In my opinion a foul should have been given regardless if he went down or not, as it was a high boot that could have caused injury.
