I thought Hugo's last minute diving header was outrageous. Made my heart stop for a few seconds, but the clearance was great.
Couldn't find a gif of it so i had to make one myself :llorisserious:
Anybody else find adebayors reaction after our second goal strange? He walks back to centre circle as if we have conceded! I do wonder about him.
I think it may have had a lot to do with his injury.
BTW, who was Lennon going ape-shit at while they were walking off at the end...?
Rose???
Kane...??????
Penry, the Mild-Mannered Janitor...?
Could be!!!!
Yeah he went mad when he tried the pass.Probably Kane as there was that chance near the end when he could have sent him free but fluffed it?

#neverred, @ Thelonious
They had ONE debatable penalty situation and that's it. We had one as well.
Welbeck dived, should have been yellow carded. Januzaj dived (outside the area).

I've read 75% of this thread but can't see this questioned anywhere -
How did Lloris not get sent off for that 'challenge' on Ashley Young? My feelings on that diving cunt aside, I felt that was one of the most blatant penalty decisions this season, possibly a red card, and he got away with it scot free.
I can only assume I missed something, but there is not way he got the ball, surely...!
One of the TV punters over here said that it might be because Young got his cross off. I thought we lucked out on that call, but I ain't complaining!I've read 75% of this thread but can't see this questioned anywhere -

What's the difference? Lloris fouled him (didn't touch the ball), regardless of what Young did or didn't do with the ball.It was a loose ball really, both young and lloris felt they could get to it and we're both entitled to go for. Had lloris not gone for it, young would have been free with time and space on the edge of the box and could have picked out a pass and probably would have conceded.
By rushing out, lloris has given young a choice to make. Had he tried to take the ball Down, and lloris come in like that, then it's a definite pen. However, young tried to cross, which is what 99 percent of players would do in that Situation. Which considering we had Dawson perfectly placed to mop up was not a problem.
Also, lloris didn't go in dangerously, as soon as he realised he wasn't favourite to get the ball he pulled out of the challenge. Only his momentum kept him going and on a wet pitch that's unavoidable.
There was no clear goalscoring opportunity being denied. Also young fully anticipated the Challenge from lloris. In fact it was vital to him being able to cross the ball into an almost unguarded net. By crossing the ball over, and jumping out the way, Ashley young made it evident he was perfectly aware of the situation and Therefore could have no complaints with the outcome. He was entitled to not go for the ball.
I also think that, had Ashley young had slightly longer to think about it, he would have maybe tried to draw the foul, win a dodgy pen
But for me, never a foul. Young had the advantage and he played the ball.
