Bohemian F.C. Thread

stonewall peno 

Its harsh theres no denying it. The reaction of the RTE commentary gives it away.  The argument is studs up versus who got the ball. The ref said to long its the onus of the player to not make contact with the other player after  hitting the ball. every game theres always contact with the other player after the ball. Otherwise no one one dare make a tackle. Its very harsh for the ref to implement that ruling for this peno.

The fact that Dave Barry didn't think it was a penalty swung my view on it. He might be biased but he's a lot more clueless then he is biased.

yadda yadda yadda, don’t matter well finish them down there we’re by a mile the better side

Loads of split opinions on this.

Stone wall peno for me.

Correct decision  Letter of the law says out of control, reckless or with excessive force. I doubt believe it's any of those. McCarthy actually kicks Leahy as Leahy got their first. If McCarthy had got there first then it's s clear pen but he didn't.  It was careless

I’m not disputing leahy was wrong to slide in btw, he left himself open to that decision by doing so but he’s a kid he’ll learn. Ref or lino weren’t giving it and they had a good view also. Exactly. Few usual suspects who have no clue about the game posting. Can only assume they've never played it. Leahy got the ball first and it was McCarthy following through as he attempted to kick the ball that resulted in his injury. One of those things but anyone suggesting that's a clear pen is an idiot.  I broke a bone in my foot years ago going for a ball that a defender got a touch on just before I got there and I ended up kicking his studs. No foul despite the fact I had to go off and that was the correct decision. Accidents happen on the football pitch sometimes, was embarrassing listening to Caulfield trying to justify it by saying McCarthy had a gash on his leg. As you say, the ref and the lino both had a clear view, looked and didn't give it. You're supposed to be certain before you give a pen, no way can anyone argue that was definite without a serious bias. Even Dave Barry didn't think it was. Embarrassing comments. What so because a poster has a different opinion to yours they in turn "don't have a clue" ?

What so because a poster has a different opinion to yours they in turn "don't have a clue" ? There's people calling it a stonewall penalty so yeah, I'd say they don't have a clue.  Isn't football all about opinions? I.E. numerous people having different opinions and as a result you just accept it or at least debate it in a mature manner without acting like a 12 year old?  What happened to you years ago has no relevance to modern football either, the game has moved on and evolved as we all know only too well! Unfortunately the physical element of football has suffered as a result and we're now seeing more and more incidents like yesterday in the Bohs vs Cork game cropping up, when if you went back 20 years ago there probably wouldn't have even be a case for a penalty to be given.
