Let's talk about the Kettering Town FA cup game 2nd round

[Donnywolf]

People debating 1 ,2 or 3 penalties in the game and have mentioned :

Gibson .I.think so
Hurst probably not
Sharp should have been given

However are the highlights available anywhere because I would like to see the Moly shot blocked away by their CB

Nobody seems to have mentioned that one . Might be my eyes

[Donnywolf]

OK... to ask a slightly different question

I've seen highlights on BBC. I shouted for a Pen yesterday especially after seeing replay

Remember thinking VAR might have been handy  there and I haven't changed my mind on that

The bloke leans right into it and I would love to see it in slo mo or a still

Anyone got either or are you happy with the Refs judgement

Hurst's was a comedy dive. I say a comedy I was bloody furious.

Hurst's was a comedy dive. I say a comedy I was bloody furious.

The defender clipped Hurst's heel, in the incident where Hurst got booked. Also Hurst was totally wiped out when having a toe-poke shot. Add to that, Billy's shorts been pulled back when just inside the box. So with the Gibson incident, that makes 4 penalties the referee could (should) have given.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Gibsons was not a penalty. Watch the ball and you'll see the keeper got a piece of it.

[Donnywolf]

I agree but as I said earlier,  surely Gibson could have gone round or over the Keeper to tap the ball home ?

Ah I.forgot though , the keeper made sure he couldn't do either by flattening him

Also I remember once that Sulli caught and held a ball by the Penalty spot at North Stand end at Keepmoat

Opposition player (was Watford maybe) ran into Penalty area and Sulli legged him up . Result .. Ref gave. Penalty.

The Ref didn't think , ah but Sulli has touched it , well actually caught it and had the ball under full control so no penalty did he ?

Exhibit B just yesterday. Diaz through on.goal , tries to round Keeper who gets a touch and ball is running parallel to goal at speed. Salah goes down Ref gives Penalty

Gibsons was for me a clear cut Penalty . He was brought down to stop him getting to a ball the keeper had touched and which was 6 yards from going over the line and if Gibson had not been fouled he would have done just that .

90 % of Refs would have given it

I agree Wolfie and the BBC pundits made nothing of it because it was all about Kettering.
If it had been in the Prem, penalty all day long

[Usher wide.]

We won, they lost end of.

We move on.

The Ref didn't think , ah but Sulli has touched it ( nay caught it and standing with it in his hands) so no penalty

It was Diaz not Salah

Corrected ... ta

[Chris Black come back]

Isiah Noel-Williams best midfielder on the pitch he could be worth looking at. Drive strength and ability with him and Owen we could have a stronger midfield

Has just walked out of Kettering Town in some kind of huff.

Gone from challenging for promotion to Matlock who are trying to stay up in the same league.

[Chris Black come back]

Matlock Town has a bit of money behind them following recent takeover. Rumoured to be the former Scunthorpe backer, which perhaps doesn't bode overly well for them. They paid a fee for Noel-Williams, which must be pretty rare at that level. Adam Clayton, Matt Derbyshire and Liam Ravenhill all play for them.
