Disgraceful decision from the ref!

Standard Deja vu from Drysdale.
That said we again gave them thev2 chances they took while having several more chances ourselves
-
More often than not they're given but I can see perhaps why it wasn't.
-
Absolute stonewaller! Cowardice from the ref.
BUT - our poor recruitment is massively impacting us. Especially in the striker dept.
-
Pen all day long and you could probably argue for a red card as well.
-
Honestly get VAR in the football league
-
You can bet your life against us that is given

McCann in the Free Press:
"I don't know why the best striker in the EFL of all time would fall in that moment. If you watch it back their player came through the back of Billy and it's a stonewall penalty and a red card."
-
Would have been a soft penalty.
Billy missed a great chance just before they scored their second.
He’s not as clinical as he used to be no point banging on about his historical EFL record over the span of 20 years.
-
I can see why it wasn't given.
It wasn't given because the referee was shite.

Nothing soft about it.
The player came from behind billy knocked him out of balance and scissered his shooting leg.
Didnt get the ball.
Doesnt matter that billy was still trying to get the ball under control.
Anywhere else on the pitch its a freekick without a doubt

Soft my arse as someone would say!

Thought it was a pen at the time still do having watched the clip
-
It was a stonewall penalty.
That said, we can’t blame the referee. We had 3 gilt edged chances, and 1 arguably slightly less so in the second half and took none.
The better side lost due to not having a clinical finisher up front.

Yes you are spot on, we have watched it over and over again and slowed it down to see if their is any reason not to give it, but it’s exactly has you have said.
It started with their player put his arms into Billy, followed by the scissors action.
Action should be taken against referees when it’s a so blatant mistake, the least action should be that the yellow card for Grant should be rescinded.
-
When I first saw it, thought it wasn’t, but seeing the replay deffo pen.

At that pace, and in such close proximity, I don't think he can physically get the ball without fouling Sharp. You'd get that penalty 9 times out of 10.
Saying that though, we can't be relying on decisions going our way to get a result.
-
Was unsure at the time and still unsure after seeing the clips,defender does get a touch on the ball but possibly Billy does get a push 1st,but know it would be given for a lot of other home sides

"He gets the ball". Yes quite correct he does but AFTER shoving Sharp in the back. Clear and blatant penalty.

He has hands on him. Billy goes down easier than anyone I’ve ever seen. We see that every week. There was contact, Billy was unbalanced but the defender got a big peace of the ball. Wasn’t a 100% stone walker to me. If he gave it I could see why. He didn’t give it and I can see why. These things are generally not completely black and white IMO.

The defender puts both hands into Billy’s back and shoves him over before he evens attempts to gets the ball.

Correct the defender has hands on Sharp BEFORE the defender touches ball.
Correct the hands on Sharp's back causes him to become unbalanced.
On becoming unbalanced Sharp is falling to the floor BEFORE the defender touches the ball.
Hence it is a penalty. Cast iron.
The defender is the wrong side of Sharp and the only way he gets a touch on the ball, almost accidentally through his momentum on giving the shove, is through fouling the man in the first instance.
-
It’s a pen for me, all day long. But maybe evens out the first five mins when Sharp gives Shepard a full slap / punch off the ball.
-
That's a foul anywhere else on the pitch. The defender has pushed Sharp, then at the very, very most generous, cumbersomely made contact with the ball and the player while challenging from behind.
Drysdale gave several softer fouls outside the box today. But he's shite that one.

The worst penalty decision involving Barnsley since https://www.youtube.com/shorts/t3In--gXF04

That’s total rubbish, he was pushed and then scissored from behind, the defender did not get the ball.

The reason he didn’t give the penalty was because the defender touched the ball and Sharp did the straight leg fall forward like people do when they dive.
I’m just too knowledgable for a referee like on to be honest. Everyone gets shit decisions. It’s no excuse of 2 points in 8 games. Ends up being a smoke screen for broader issues.

Of course we've got broader issues, we're not scoring enough obviously. Doesn't change the fact that we should have had a pen, which is what this thread is about.
-
Definite penalty, the thing is if we had got it and it was put away it would have been a fair result a draw.
-
Goals change games don’t they.
If we had been awarded and scored the pen there is no reason why we couldn’t have gone on to win the game.

We've signed some bad forwards...and the Goalkeeping has been questionable. Grant has done a phenomenal job at the Rovers. The players performance was very good today.
Unlucky not to get a result. Terrible referee changed our points on the board.

On the replay it looks worse! It should have been a pen and a card for the Barnsley player. It seems like every game we’re getting these poor decisions!

Absolutely not true. We’ve got 2 points in 8 games, there’s not too much to be positive about. We are the second lowest scorers in the league, largely because our No9 isn’t consistently good enough.
As I said elsewhere, we were good today and deserved to win. Without doubt Billy is the player in our team that goes down repeatedly too easily. Every game (generally on the half way line admittedly) he throws himself to the ground. How many free kicks does he appeal for, when he’s on the deck, that he doesn’t get??? Loads, and they are not all free kicks are they. It just happens and he’s done it all his career. I’m not even saying it’s a negative really, exaggerating contact is part of the game, as are professional fouls, shirt pulling, grappling at set pieces etc etc.

But your saying he goes down easier than anyone you have seen? That is laughable
80% of the premiership, no sorry i include champions league players go down easier than billy.
Neymar, ronaldo, mbappe. Grealish.
Sorry gaz, i admire your insight when it comes to stats.
But your very quick to find a negative among things. You very rarely praise anything that rovers do.
It was a stonewall penalty. If mcgrath had done that to, id put my house that you would say it was awful defending and should of been a pen.

Are you going to the game on Tuesday? I’d love to meet you for a chat. Come and sit next to me please.
I’d rather sit in a bed of nettles than sit next to you at a Rovers game.
You have a hugely inflated opinion of yourself and your football knowledge but your comments on here just continue to prove the opposite.
“Billy goes down easier than anyone I’ve ever seen”.
Laughable.
My opinion has done me fine over the years thanks and if you had my CV you’d rate yourself as well!
“But….but….but you must believe me because this is my area of expertise and this is how I make my living so I must be right”.
Stop it, my sides are aching.

Looks to me that sharp was knocked off balance and the defender swipes his leg from behind,
Dont think the defender touches the ball but steps over it and scissors billys right leg
He gets the ball doesn’t? Admittedly from a horrible angle.
"He gets the ball". Yes quite correct he does but AFTER shoving Sharp in the back. Clear and blatant penalty.
He has hands on him. Billy goes down easier than anyone I’ve ever seen. We see that every week. There was contact, Billy was unbalanced but the defender got a big peace of the ball. Wasn’t a 100% stone walker to me. If he gave it I could see why. He didn’t give it and I can see why. These things are generally not completely black and white IMO.
“Billy goes down easier than anyone I’ve ever seen”.
Was this your first football match?
Absolutely unbelievable comment.
Its a comment from someone who wants to beat anything rovers do with a stick.
It was a silly comment.
Absolutely not true. We’ve got 2 points in 8 games, there’s not too much to be positive about. We are the second lowest scorers in the league, largely because our No9 isn’t consistently good enough.
As I said elsewhere, we were good today and deserved to win. Without doubt Billy is the player in our team that goes down repeatedly too easily. Every game (generally on the half way line admittedly) he throws himself to the ground. How many free kicks does he appeal for, when he’s on the deck, that he doesn’t get??? Loads, and they are not all free kicks are they. It just happens and he’s done it all his career. I’m not even saying it’s a negative really, exaggerating contact is part of the game, as are professional fouls, shirt pulling, grappling at set pieces etc etc.
But your saying he goes down easier than anyone you have seen? That is laughable
80% of the premiership, no sorry i include champions league players go down easier than billy.
Neymar, ronaldo, mbappe. Grealish.
Sorry gaz, i admire your insight when it comes to stats.
But your very quick to find a negative among things. You very rarely praise anything that rovers do.
It was a stonewall penalty. If mcgrath had done that to, id put my house that you would say it was awful defending and should of been a pen.
Apart from praising today’s performance!

Why do you watch it then?
-
I’m absolutely convinced now that Gaz is a WUM
-
I can only assume Gaz never saw Lewis Guy if he thinks Billy goes down easy
-
He’s far worse than a WUM!
Fancy getting so frustrated because Pancho has him seething as he ties him up in linguistic knots time after time that he’s left with nothing else to come back with except veiled threats like “I wish you were sitting next to me on Tuesday night”, then as he’s put to the sword & ‘shredded’ yet again he dredges up all the intellect he can muster & retorts with a “See you Tuesday”.!!
Pathetic.
I doubt he’d know who Lewis Guy was Ldr if he tripped him up in a betting shop!

Think the “see you next Tuesday” must have gone over your head!
And if you think that anything in this thread has been threatening you have missed the spot as usual. Just willing to have a chat so you realise you (and your brother!) are making yourself look a complete clown and you have formed an opinion of me that couldn’t be further away from what I’m actually like.

This pile on of Gaz is getting boring to read now. Pretty much every thread just because he has an opinion.
He’s asked a couple of times now for a sophisticated chat in person and every time your respective arses have fell out.
Either have a discussion in person and shake hands at the end of it or block him on here. Proper school yard stuff and I’m sure I’m not the only one bored of reading it.

They are just keyboard warriors that have kept it going under different names over the years. Certainly beyond boring now. These two are elderly gentlemen as well by the way, I suppose you have to worry for their mental health.

Not sure what reception you have had from others Gaz but I’m definitely happy to have a pre match point with you, as an analyst I’m interested in the data behind your views. Out of action the next few weeks from surgery but before the Stockport game?

You’ve more patience than me. I for one enjoy reading your input and stats. Don’t agree with all of your views but I won’t start throwing vitriol your way.

Absolutely. Give me a shout closer to the time, hope the recovery goes well.

After grants comments about why he didn't attend the ref and manager meeting, not surprised we are on the wrong side of decisions again, feels like when ferige said they should be shot.
Can't see us getting a decision until after Xmas

I don’t always agree with Gaz but he’s as entitled to his opinion as everyone else is
-
And he is better informed than pretty well all of us.

My mental health is fine thanks GazLaz, although I guess your questioning of it wasn’t meant in a positive way.
It’s a shame you have to resort to personal insults and innuendos like that, but when the argument is lost I suppose that’s your last resort.
I’m not exactly sure what a “keyboard warrior” is either, perhaps you can enlighten me?
You constantly post negative comments on here about the team, individual players, the coaching staff and the manager.
I’ve had you on ‘ignore’ for several months because I find your constant negativity draining.
But last night I happened to see your comment about Billy Sharp and I couldn’t let that go.
Basically, you were accusing him of being a serial cheat.
That, in my opinion, is a disgraceful accusation.
Your invitation to sit next to me at next Tuesday’s game for a “chat” is in my opinion a veiled threat.
But it really doesn’t bother me, because as I said in response, I’d rather sit in a bed of nettles for 90 minutes than sit next to a so-called supporter like you.
If you are desperate to meet in order to avail me of your superior football knowledge, I’m up for that.
I’d also like Monkcaster Rover to attend and I promise I’ll do my best not to let my “arse fall out” whatever that means.
-
I personally like reading Gazlaz's point of view he usually calls it right. To read him call someone a Kitson is very disappointing. Also McGoldrick spent more time on his arse than on his feet his comedy dive for a pen was horrific so puts his Billy shout to bed.

I rarely go the games these days due to work & other circumstances but I’ll try and make time in the future if you so desire. It’s hard for people’s true personalities to shine through on forums as tones can be hard to read.
Had a good chat with a Miller at work last night about ours and their respective trajectories which was had in good spirits which is rarely seen on social media etc these days. People far too quick to revert to abuse rather than having a good debate in person. Twitter and Facebook are absolutely ripe for it.
I hope Gaz and yourself can have a good, well balanced discussion on Tuesday and exchange views then shake hands and that be the end of the back and forth on here.
End of the day, we’re all Rovers fans and all want us to do well. Enough misery in the world as it is.

Even if there were an infallible formula for success and every team strived for it, there would still be teams at the top, and teams at the bottom.
-
True but we areg3tting to close to the bottom for my liking,
Incidentally I agree it was a penalty
-
Penalty or yellow for Billy.
-
Personally I think it was a penalty , I think the only slight doubt is the ball seems to be stuck under billys feet and not looking to likely to get a shot away , but the barnsley player has gone through the back/ side of billy irrelevant if he got a toe too the ball or not ,and it's hard to see if he did get a toe on the ball or not , so for me a its a penalty.
Like someone has said any where else on the pitch it's a foul.
-
It looked like a tackle from behind, which is illegal in football and should result in a foul, usually a free kick, or penalty in this instance.
It is considered dangerous play, especially if it endangers the opponent, and should receive a yellow or red card.
A tackle must be made from the side or front and be a clean tackle, on the ball without impeding the player.
So, to summarise, even if the ref deemed it a side tackle, it most definitely wasn't a clean tackle because it impeded the player.
-

Like someone has said any where else on the pitch it's a foul.
The reason the ball was stuck under his feet is because as he was preparing to get the shot away the defender had two hands on Billy’s back and was in the process of pushing him over.
Had the push not happened Billy would have got the shot away and in all probability scored.
The defender took a chance and it paid off.
-
From my view in the south stand and very close to the incident, I did think Billy went down very easily.
My personal view at the time was his shooting chance had gone, and he waited for the contact.
Having seen other views on playback, I have changed my mind, and also think the Barnsley players reaction told a story ( head in hands) and as such think it should have been given.
We still had to score it though.
-
Penalty or yellow for Billy.
he didn’t dive so no need for a yellow card,know most are saying stonewall penalty which for me wasn’t,yes could of been a pen but definitely not a stonewaller,I just wasn’t sure if he got a touch of the ball before legs got tangled
-
donnievic, the ball can be at the other end of the pitch. unlikely I know but if there is a foul on a player in the other area to where the ball is it still is a penalty at that end.
You don't have to have the ball to win a free kick for a foul anywhere on the pitch.

Stonewall! the Barnsley chap scissored Billys leg there is a still photo about somewhere showing it. Watch it slowed down defenders hands pushing Billy before the scissor job at the end the defender has clattered Billy through the back Penalty Full Stop. Now then we come to another slight issue was the reff evening things out for Billy's ermm earlier indiscretion and should it have been a red well Mr D left him on the pitch with a rollicking end of not an acceptable excuse, Ive got the impression Mr Drysdale tells linos I will make the decision and you agree At the end Billy was on the pitch so penalty. Yes we should have took our chances but apart from the ref and linesman's incompetence we should have had a valuable point
-
He doesn’t clatter through the back of him though does he,yes there is a little nudge in his back possible where Billy tries to get right in front of him so the defender goes straight I tin the back of him as Billy is stopping ready to shoot,my objective is the defender could of possibly put his leg there to play the ball before Billy goes to shoot,can’t tell what happens 1st but for me deffo no stonewaller,and if Bobby Faulkner had done that defending there would be more then one person saying great tackle.And by no means I’m saying it’s not a penalty either just had to tell when the ref gets one look especially from direvtly behind the play and also him not being a rovers fan.What I will say though it would no doubt get given for plenty of other home team.

I never even seen the earlier incident with sharp unlike the one last season where he was rightly sent off,but the Barnsley players wasn’t happy and think the call came from the 4th official as the ref looked over when chatting in their headsets but I don’t think he saw the full incident either especially with not even a card shown unless he thought there wasn’t much in it at all apart from a talking too
-
Genuine question, are the rules different for fouls anywhere else on the pitch, than for those in the penalty area? A foul anywhere else where the player takes the man then the ball is punished. In the box it seems you can do what you want as long as your toe end grazes the ball at some point, we see it in the prem via VAR all the time.

It is never a "great tackle" if you challenge from behind and end up going through the player. Doesn't matter whether you make contact with the ball first. It is a dangerous challenge. Even more so when your challenge results in you scissoring the opponent's leg. At that point, you've lost control of the consequences. That's why that challenge would have been an automatic free kick anywhere else on the pitch.

Someone suggested there are different rules when Molyneux was wiped out with a dangerous, late challenge after rushing a shot away a couple of three weeks ago.
If there ARE different rules, it's certainly something that I've never heard discussed openly by refs or the FA.

He doesn’t clatter through the back of him though does he,yes there is a little nudge in his back possible where Billy tries to get right in front of him so the defender goes straight I tin the back of him as Billy is stopping ready to shoot,my objective is the defender could of possibly put his leg there to play the ball before Billy goes to shoot,can’t tell what happens 1st but for me deffo no stonewaller,and if Bobby Faulkner had done that defending there would be more then one person saying great tackle.And by no means I’m saying it’s not a penalty either just had to tell when the ref gets one look especially from direvtly behind the play and also him not being a rovers fan.What I will say though it would no doubt get given for plenty of other home team.
It is never a "great tackle" if you challenge from behind and end up going through the player. Doesn't matter whether you make contact with the ball first. It is a dangerous challenge. Even more so when your challenge results in you scissoring the opponent's leg. At that point, you've lost control of the consequences. That's why that challenge would have been an automatic free kick anywhere else on the pitch.
totally agree when your diving in but the defender didn’t dive in so wasn’t a dangerous tackle by any means and I would expect our defenders to do the same thing if they got the wrong side of the ball

Genuine question, are the rules different for fouls anywhere else on the pitch, than for those in the penalty area? A foul anywhere else where the player takes the man then the ball is punished.

technically no they are not differant but refs do tend give more softer fouls shall we say out side the box and agree it would no doubt of been given anywhere else on the pitch and even more so if it’s the defender being on the recieving end

Donnivic Billy explained it perfectly, the fact he made the tackle from behind may have touched the ball but tangled legs in the follow through recklessly is a penalty despite the momentary time laps.
One question, would Salah have got the same decision at Anfield?

well Billy isn’t gonna say nothing else is he and I’m not saying whether it was or wasn’t but it wasn’t a stonewaller

I believe Selby meant BST (BillyStubbsTears), Donnievic, not our very own Billy Sharp.
