Asura 319 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 That was not a penalty for me but thats not the reason for Arsenal to drop points if it stays 1-1, there were so many chances but they couldnt finish them so to blame the poor decision is not correct but I fully expect Wenger to go on a rant about it in post match conference. EDIT: make it 1-2 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For every corner there must be at least 10 fouls committed, each being ‘soft’. Should we start seeing penalties given after every corner given? Nah, to give a penalty it should be stonewall in my opinion or things will get daft. Not until we have a striker and can score without penalties . 1-2 very harsh on Arsenal. That waster Alonso doing the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost arbitrary when it's given and ignored. I just think fouls need to be taken in context by referees. You can commit a ‘soft foul’ in the centre of the pitch and it results in nothing, whereas giving ‘soft fouls’ in the box results in penalties that can totally change the result of a game. That is why I don’t agree with your original statement that a foul is a foul regardless. In my opinion, to give a penalty, it should be stonewall. Otherwise we will be getting penalties given for the slightest of touches. It’s getting like that now and it’s ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
