Penalty or Not?

[Fener_Bahce]

I'm trying to get a large opinion on this penalty called by the reff in Fenerbahce's game this week.

Let me know what you guys think...

[Punkt]

we have this discussions every week in Portugal

 

[Fener_Bahce]

Us too, but I'm sick of hearing about refs handing us games, haha juss plz guys answer if you think it's a penalty or not.

 

[Hendrik]

I'm not 100% sure but it looks like Anelka is getting fouled.

 

[Vagegast]

Yes, to me it is. You can't make a tackle inside the 16 and not touch the ball. The ball simply keeps on rolling while Anelka goes down.

 

[Sprhr66]

IT is definite penalty.Look at the ball.It lokks like the person tackling got the ball but he did not.

 

[Help?]

100 % penalty. The guy never touched the ball and he definietly tripped Anelka, maybe Nicholas did fly down a little too easy, but he was tripped and the defender never touched the ball, that's a clear penalty. You can even see a big change of direction of Anelka's right leg, in the slow motion replay.

 

[Pontiakos]

nope...not a penalty...if anything that is diving....watch as he drags his feet when he could have picked them up....

 

[Fener_Bahce]

hahaha when is the last time you saw anyone pick up their feet to avoid a foul, that is a bad observation, it is a clear penalty, no contact with the ball, his leg was taken out.

 

[panxoman]

I think it's penalty.
Anelka exagerates a bit tho.

fener fans still dont get one thing, in that match, gala fans are NOT arguing so much about anelka's penalty,yes it is a obvious penalty.
we are complaining about the obvious penalty that was not given to the other team, and also the 1st goal fener scored, it was %100 offside.
i dont wanna talk about the ref decisions, but if this topic is here, then i feel like defending what really happened..

 

[MaSsiVe]

Pretty obvious penalty IMHO

 

[#71]

Penalty in my opinion.Even if it wasn't, it's an acceptable decision by the referee.

 

[$teauA]

Not even close that is a clear cut penalty. It doesn't really matter how much Anelka improvises the fall because the defender slide tackled way too late.

 

[Run DMB]

That's some language you've got down there.

Which penalty was this? By the way it took a show (maraton) that does anything in its power to cut down the ref's decisions, and the gala fans only realized luciano was possibly offside after watching this show.

It didn't take anyone to watch maraton to see that the goal malatya scored on gala was disallowed for NO REASON what so ever, and the missed penalty was repeated.

How could you guys make such alegations...take a look at how your team won the game. Leave the refs alone, all I ever ever ever hear from the gala fans in these forums is how bad the refs are, whining, crying, enough beeee yeter artik, we've heard it so much from you guys before, find different approaches.

i dont wanna argue with you, i m just going to answer your question, the penalty i m talking about was aurelio's position, when he blocked the ball with his hand. this was a %100 penalty, but whatever, as i said before, i dont care, cause we will see what will happen when we play against each other in two weeks time, and 2 times in a row(league&cup final)

 

[Fener_Bahce]

Oh yah ahaha you're right, but for a penalty to be awarded capa, you need to be in the penalty area, not outside of it hahaha.

that could be argued also.

 

[CapaJr]

i didnt wanted to post another msg to this thread, but i cant stop myself! :hit:
that WAS in the penalty area. it looks like you havent watch the slow motion replays?
anyways, there is nothing to do, for most people refree was so "positive" towards you guys, most of your positions that are being discussed proves this. but i dont want to talk about these anymore, to sum up,

We'LL see what happens in about two-three weeks, in the cup final,

 

[Fener_Bahce]

This arguement isn't even about who's better right now.

It is about how you keep crying about the refs handing fener games. How could you even do that. Did you watch your teams win, we beat trabzon, you beat malatya, refs make mistakes, stop making excuses.
