VUW AFC - Victoria University Football for life
i thought the tackle on Covs was worse than the elbow...Covs would've had a primo chance if he wasn't taken down
um not exactly
The ref decides when it must stop, not a rulebook. If you were to score when the specific amount of injury time was played the goal would've been very unjust.
Watch more football. Understand it, you can't stop the mid-attack.
The ref blowing his whistle smacked of panic to me, like he wanted to get the whole mess over with. I know there's no cast iron rule about this but generally refs wait until the 'play' is over, for want of a better term, not while the ball is alive in the 6 yard box.
And, yes, absolutely clear penalty, not to mention send-off(s).
To me, the ref has chickened out and blown for full time to get it over and done with - rather than make a contentious decision and award a penalty in the 93rd minute.
When Hibs, went up, to win the Scottish Cup - I wisnae there - furfuxake!

A perfect summation....
Three for me, and two for them.

I pulled this from another thread I posted in
[QUOTE=DrQuack32] [QUOTE=newzealandpower]I wouldn't call it conspiracy (yet).
The refs should bloody study the rules.
G.
We do. We had our NZFC pre-season seminar where we covered the rules and new interpretations of pre-existing ones. The challenge on Coveny in the Perth game with Peter Green as the ref was shown and while the general consensus was that he ran a great line and did all the work to be in the best place, Coveny got sandwiched, pulled down and you have to ask what part of DOGSO did that not satisfy. He simply had a poor line of sight from where he was. It doesn't excuse the fact it was wrong however.
We looked also reviewed the Adelaide game where Daniel was fouled in the box where ther was no penalty (same referee as today, Ben Williams) It was generally felt that he was inconsistent with decisions where some fouls were given, but the same ones later on were not. And then a mirror image of Coveny getting pulled down again
Its awesome stuff to review because we are learning from others mistakes. Now take todays presentations on two footed lunges (two footed studs up airborne). If it endangers player safety REGARDLESS if he plays the ball, the man of only makes slight contact its a red. Now for those watching the CCM v Roar game, Peter O'Leary has just sent a player off for that very thing but yet the commentators are saying he got it wrong. Simply put, it was a two footed lunge that had no control, airborne and endangered player safety.
Half the problem (sometimes) is that people take the commentary as gospel when in fact its way off base. Even in the Perth game when the commentators reckon Green got it wrong sending off Djublic, it was blantantly obvious that he was sent off for a 2nd yellow because of a shirt pull.
Between incompetence and commentators one day people will be happy.

Chump.
Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

Would be interested to hear what the referees make of the last man-red card incident. Certainly looked like Covs was taken down by the last man; even the commentators (who I thought were quite good tonight for the most part) agreed.
Anyone able to explain why it might not have been the last man and therefore a red card?

The only reason I can think of is the presence of another defender in the general vicinity of the incident. As the commentators pointed out, however, that defender wasn't really in a position to challenge Coveny and prevent him from shooting if Coveny had not been brought down. But we had the benefit of a replay to ascertain that, the officials had to make the decision without it, and may have thought tha the second defender was closer than he actually was.
Having said all that, in my eyes Ben Williams is absolutely incompetent at this level.

There are only two reasons I can think of.
1: He was unsighted. Now I don't think that is quite what I mean because he did see the foul and did give a yellow. He just may not have had the BEST angle to see it all in its entirety.
2: He may have felt that Coveny didn't have or was not going to get possession. He had beaten the defender, he was within striking range.
I'm trying to ask myself the question why its not DOGSO but can't figure it out because its so blatantly obvious in my opinion. You are correct re: commentators

Chump.
Please show me where it states that cause if thats the case, then the players have been right for the last 16 years and I really am blind...

Agreed, though now I don't understand why it HAS been allowed. Talk about making a mess of it. It was silly to end the game at the time he did but even sillier to now actually count the goal - you can't keep changing your mind.
Regarding the foul on Coveney, the most likely explanation is that the Referee thought that the foul wasn't deliberate. A foul isn't automatically a red card just because the attacker was through on goal. A red card is meant for if the player fouls DELIBERATELY in order to prevent a goal.
Clearly the Ref thought it was a foul but didn't think it was deliberate - this may be because he didn't see it properly.
Anyway, it should have been a red card, but not because Coveney was through on goal but because the foul was deliberate.

In the act of committing a foul to deny an obvious goal scoring opportunity (DOGSO) it doesn't matter if it is deliberate or accidental. If you bring down a striker and deny him that opportunity accidentally, do not pass go, do not collect $200 and do not use all the hot water in the showers since you get first use.
You are confusing it with a wildly held mis-conception of the term "Professional Foul" which is actually a DOGSO foul but people think it has to be deliberate or "Professionally done deliberately to look accidental" The professional foul is not a term bandied around anymore because it was a slang term for it and FIFA removed the word "intent" about 7 years ago (memory fades here)
Simply put, he either
a: didn't see it properly/have the BEST angle to view it
b: thought Coveny would not have had or could have gained possession
c: softed out of a red card
d: simply got it wrong

Yep that was f**ken ridiculous! We were spewing! That would be a RED CARD in any football match! CRAP!

I can't believe they have now allowed the goal - I was pretty sure that the whistle went before the ball was hit home.
All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight
