notts ref.

Do you think this was a penalty or id he dive. People have said the "intent" was there, but you can't go around giving free kicks for stuff that could have happened can you!!!

I think Boroboy will explode at some point due to his anger towards this.

No penalty, dive. Yellow Card. All sorted lol.

Intent bit of the law is very grey, well much like the rest of the laws really!

The court puts it to you notts_ref that this decision would be down to said "grey" part of the law and open to interpretation?

I put it to you sir that this is not the open and closed book you have made out!

(I'd also like to say, watch the full speed version and not the replay)

Can't the ref interpret that there was intent to foul the player?

As he did.

Was not a dive, was a pen :)

Over and done with now.

But, I'm going along with what fergie was saying about the car swerving at 70mph.

Ronaldo jumped over Schwarzer going at a fast pace, then was leaning forward which caused him stumble, that was my view of the fast motion replay. It's easy to stumble going at a fast pace and you've had the move out of the way quickly.

By the way, you should change the EPL forum title to Corradi instead of Ronaldo :)

Sorry if that didn't make any sense lol :)

It's all about the intent lol. I'm not sure about how refs think or what the rules are atm. We'll have to get notts ref onto it.

Clearly a dive! And a typical Ronoldo "flying fairy" dive at that. His foot and the keepers foot NEVER made contact, he anticipated thier limbs would be close and did his "fairy dive" assuming the ref would see it as the keeper clipping him. Typical cheating move from the little cocksucking bassa

To me, on normal speed, no INTENT was made by Schwarzer anyway.
