That MLS chance that went across the face of goal. Just watched the replay a few

times cos I wanted to know why Vik was nowhere near it after he'd done so well from B's cross at the weekend.

He was by the penalty spot. Has a defender on his who he tries to shake off. Manages to get in front of him and the defender holds him back with both arms wrapped around his waist.

How in God's name is that not a foul?

Can someone please explain that to me?

How are you allowed to grab a player and hold him back like that?

I'd love a rule change so that's a foul, and all shirt pulling's a foul.

Then we might have more sexy goals.

Referees have been chatting with each other and decided that Gronk unfairly seeks an advantage by going down too easily and playing with three legs when most forwards have to make do with two. I think they may have a point Ganps

Well, he did score with his cock once. Does that count as his third leg?

But it's a genuine question. How is that not a foul. What's the difference between grabbing a player 'round his waist so he can't get to the ball and tripping a player when he's trying to run onto the ball?

How is that not a foul. You aren't allowed to grab a player 'round the waist and if their guy hadn't, Vik would have got the tap in cos he was ahead of the defender. It would have been a gorgeous goal to boot.
