and that advantage is then wasted, then the referee does not pull the play back as he did to give today's pelanty.
You pull the play back after it becomes apparent that there is no advantage. But today there WAS an advantage, and Villa wasted it by shooting into the side netting.
Is that not a fundamental misapplication of the rules?
disappointed with the players for their lack of discipline. Kosceilny in particular.
The second pelanty may have been dubious, but other than that he seemed to get all the small decision spot on. My only gripe is that he didn't pull Villa up for persistent fouling, but then we weren't angels ourseleves.
Swedish TV checked the rule book and apparently it's within the ref's discretion to give adv and then if it doesn't result in a goal, a penalty. Taylor's peformance was one of the very worst ever - pity Kos can't come back in on appeal as it was a 2nd yellow And who exactly are fit ?
I missed the first penalty, havent seen it
doesn't know the rules.
would not have reached the ball once he pushed it round Szeicesny...?
Playing advantage presumbly means there was still a goalscoring opportunity and, if thee was, he cant send him off.
Or if he pushed the ball too wide or too far the opportunity could have been lost without the foul.
The advantage part sort of makes sense.
They saod it all game.
I think our total lack pf shape and discipline in midfield cost us the game. Back four were exposed constantly through the centre. Per and kos were pulled all over the place. It was worse when sagan moved across as he struggled with his positions for a while.
