This "penalty" thing is really pissing me off now.

That's different from asking why he felt the need to do it.

Try to keep up.

It wasn't a foul anyway!!

You can disagree all day long, it doesn't make you any less wrong, however...

no, of course he wouldn't. doesn't mean it's not a foul.

True.

But it wasn't a foul anyway. Not unless the laws of the game have changed.

i've yet to see one ex-pro/pundit say that is wasnt a penalty...

And they'd have been equally in agreement with you had Pedersen dived against Fulham or Stoke, do you think?

He dived.

£#%&!off spurs fan.

some of you lot follow all this shit in the media

and some of you watch football on TV all the £#%&!ing time

so

how many penalties have you seen this season for a player getting touched - or even slightly held back if you insist ?

i'm guessing it's not very many


i remember Giggs getting a penalty after being pulled a bit at the end of a mazy dribble against Sunderland

the difference was that the referee was in line directly behind the play

oh and Giggs didn't fall over like a cheating @#%&!

can't be arsed reading the thread and usual ABU hysteria

but it was never a £#%&!ing penalty and Pedersen should have been booked for diving

ah come one man, lets be fair guys.

if that happened against us we'd be mad!

it was a clear pen.

a mistake on Rafaels part.

but def a pen.

prob didn't help Pederson as he went to ground quite dramatically.

when on the recieving end of this type of shit from the #@&%!s at work and alike, I plead Wengervision™. ,

''sorry I didn't see that from where I sit in the ground'', I don't have the luxury of replays from 101 different angles as you do sitting in your armchair.

it wasn't a penalty there was minimum contact and the @#%&! went down like Gerrard's misssus on Curtis Warren's dick

Never a penalty and I would say the same if it happened to Ronaldo or any of our players.

at the ground i thought it was a pen

on mod with replays i thought it wasn't

the error for evans goal is far more contentious for me

we should have had a penalty from every corner we've had ever.

it is not a foul to touch someone. it is a foul to impede someone by pulling, pushing, etc. pedersen collapsed. it had nothing to do with rafael (physically).

If Ronaldo was given a penalty for the same incident there would be an equally strong backlash. Contact does not always equate to a foul, Pedersn was not impeded, tripped or disadvantaged in any way. He made a conscious choice to go down, he was not forced to.
