Someone who's there said it was the slightest of touches from Zanzala but their lad went down like he'd been shot & could've had an Oscar for his performance

Sounds like more good refereeing!

Re: Bratfud game thread
First the sending off, Zanzala was kicked from pillar to post NOTHING at all was done about it, by the useless pillock refereeing the game, then to us he seemed to flip and put in a real dangerous tackle. The crowd were constantly booing the lad, before that tackle at half time we were convinced it was deserved, at half time Andy Holt showed us his phone and it didn't look half as bad, then on the bus home the guy in front of us showed us his phone which was a close up of the tackle, and nodoubt at all to us it was a sending off. Stanley were flagged offside, but the Bradford free kick wastaken in Stanley Half, that demonstrates perfectly to anyone with sense what a pillock was reffing the game.Stanley overall did not play dirty yet 6 bookings, besides the sent off player,also Bradford beyond doubt deserved to win the game, they played very well, much better than the posh we thought, yet are low down in league 1.

Re: Bratfud game thread
Horror tackle by Zanzala. Whoever told Accymad he hardly touched him ..........
Cashman often refers to “no plan b” and he’s right - made all the worse when our “plan a” has totally been found out by our opponents. We get pressed high up the pitch and we can’t get out. When we do get out I’m afraid our forwards are not good at hold up play. Their keeper was dropping kicks on our 18 years box and invariably they picked up second balls meaning they were getting back to front in an instant. We can’t do that. A tough few weeks ahead. As for the opening goal thanks lads for all going to sleep. Unacceptable. |
Re: Bratfud game thread
Poor ref today, but I don’t think our players helped matters by their behaviour.
Clearly Bradford deserved their win, but when you are down to 10 men away, chasing the game after only 25 mins there’s not too much to read into the game. Zanzala had a poor game when he was on the pitch. Tried to beat players but ended up falling over or diving. The crowd laughed at him a lot and he saw red. We did have a decent number of chances but as usual of late, couldn’t score. Not sure who comes out covered in glory. Sean had a decent game, Hall tried very hard...was going to say Hughes did well but maybe I should watch the highlights first and see if he was at fault for any of the goals. |
Re: Bratfud game thread
Ref had a shocker although I have to agree with him on the zanzala decision , definite red in my book , some of the bookings dished out were really petty an in the end he had lost complete control , were conceding far to many goals of late which is something that needs to be addressed , agree with Sean being the best of a not so great bunch today an thaught Connor Hall’s work rate when he came on was good to see. Little break from the league now could do us well I hope.

Coleman must be very frustrated as I think it was Zanzala who ran the game when we played at your place, albeit as your posters have said we’re a different team from then to now. As for the offside call you mention, think this is the 2nd or 3rd season in operation for the offside law change where the free kick is given at the point the player commits the offence, even if it’s in his own half e.g. you could be 10 yards inside the opponent’s half when the ball is played, but it’s just cut out by a defender, you then run straight back into your own half to tackle him - the free kick will now be given at the point you became offside i.e. interfered. It’s pretty rare, but we had one given against us in very similar circumstances in the first season the change was live. I’ve pasted an extract from a newspaper article at the time the change was announced: “Part of the law book says when players commit an offside offence you give a free-kick where the offence occurred. The other part of the law book says you give a free-kick where the player was when he was in the offside position. So a player can actually move 20 yards from being in an offside position … and it is only the moment he plays the ball that he is penalised. The law tells you to give the free-kick in two different places. “So, in future, the free-kick will always be given where he commits the offside offence, even if he is in his own half, because you cannot be in an offside position in your own half, but you can go back into your own half to commit an offside offence.” So whilst I get why you’re having a go at the ref about his handling of the game, you can’t criticise him for that particular decision! Good luck for the rest of the season. |

Re: Bratfud game thread
The ref gave everything to Bradford, our 10 men were playing against 12 men. Yellow cards were so petty, yet Bradford players doing the same didn,t get cards. Bradford even got the throw in when it was them who have kicked the ball out.
A complete disgrace from the ref. We looked like a filthy team because or the bookings . Hope that is the last of the bad bunch. |

Re: Bratfud game thread
Their player taking an offside free kick in our half was wrong, but so trivial. One bloke behind me must have nearly had a stroke getting so bloody angry. It gained them all of 3 yards.
Often players don’t get booked for kicking the ball away. Maybe they should. However, Ripley clearly deserved to be booked for booting the ball away as it denied them a good opportunity and he did boot it away quite a distance. Clark’s booking didn’t surprise me. You could hear the Bradford players shin pad getting a crack from the back of the stand. In contrast, I thought Bradford were a much more disciplined team. Yes, the ref was poor in my opinion but not biased |
Re: Bratfud game thread
Well if you think not biased everyone i know including me must have been at a different game.:rolleyes: aint saying some of ours were not deserved, but Bradford got away with loads before Zanzala was deservedly sent off.

I don't have any issues with referees applying the strict letter of the law ..... provided the referee remains consistent. So when the Bradford player launches the ball into the stand well after the whistle was blown is that any different to Ripley ? The Clark one was not a booking. The ref simply reacted to the crack from the shin pad. Again with dissent why was Billy booked for protesting over the challenge on Finlay (given) but the 5 man mob jostling him after Zanzala's tackle was acceptable ? I'm not going to suggest for one minute he set out to be biased. As for the free kick in our half for the offside that is inept refereeing and again poor on the lino's part. Just because a fan vented his frustration shouldn't annoy you ....... its called passion for your club. |
Re: Bratfud game thread
I'm not a referee but have previously vented at the officials for allowing free kicks for off side to be taken inside the half way line. Apparently that's where you take it if at the point of the pass the player is in the opposing half (and offside) but then only becomes active when he either receives or moves towards the ball having run into their own half. Whilst i don't fully understand the rule , i have seen seasoned TV commentators spout the same incredulity and be corrected by the ex referee pundit on sky.
As for the sending off, what frustrated me was not their players surrounding the ref, but that ours didn't bother. It took Clark to spot the potential red and run 20 yards to get amongst their players and the ref to fight Zanzala's corner. Barlaser and Finley who were closest looked disinterested. I've just watched the highlights to verify my recollection from yesterday. |
Re: Bratfud game thread
That really sums up how ridiculous the offside rules have become. I would truly **** myself if a clearance got caught in the wind and Billy set off backwards finally becoming active in his own box.
Is that a penalty then ? Hahaha ! Thanks for the nod Simpson. You learn something every day. |
Re: Bratfud game thread
Simpson is correct, the placement of an indirect free kick is from the point where the attacker interferes/plays the ball so therefore it can be in the oppositions half.
If the situation you mention Twenty Eight happens it would still be an indirect free kick in penalty area. Can't be a penalty as its indirect. Hope this clears up that bit of confusion. |
Re: Bratfud game thread
Don’t panic! Trying to put a bit of balance into things. We’ve been under par in the last 2 games and been well beaten, however, in balance, we’re mid table one level up from last season and learning at this level with a decent 3rd round FA cup tie to look forward to and a Checkatrade Cup game closely following.
Agree with Coley that we started brightly, and for me, seemed to get rattled by Ripley’s booking, lost concentration and conceded a sloppy goal. Zanzala didn’t seem to handle the occasion, let the crowd get to him, and overcommitted to recover a poor first touch by lunging in. Good move for Scott Brown to get into dressing room to be present when Zanzala get back there. We switched off again for second goal. Management team set stall out to have a go in second half with substitutions and formation change, only to be undone with a decent goal 5 mins in, albeit we did stand off the lad on the edge of the box. Huffed and puffed from then on with no real threat. If someone had offered me being in this position over half way through the season, I’d gladly have taken it. That all said, we need to quickly get out of this sticky period quickly as the danger of getting sucked into a relegation battle is a risk. Not long ago, we were 4th and we haven’t turned into a bad side overnight - other teams may have worked us out, but let’s remember, we’re a league up from last season and against better players and managers. |

it aint trivial. why should football be different from other sports. in rugby a free kick is taken from the place where the offence is committed. a line out or scrum is where the ball goes out of play. in football you get free kicks taken in the wrong position and throw ins, well ten yards further upfield seems acceptable. if cricket follows football than a bowler can deliver the ball a few yards nearer to a batsman so we can then do without no balls. |
Re: Bratfud game thread
Monkey hanger, you should really go and have a read of the laws of the game if you think the ref was incorrect to have the placement of the free kick from an offside offence in the other half.
This changed around 2 and a half years ago and is now from the place where the attacker is when the offside is penalised so hence can be in the other half. If that happened to be in the penalty area then it would be an indirect free kick not a penalty. |

Re: Bratfud game thread
No wonder refs are held in such low esteem if they have to enforce such nonsense.
So, an attacking player standing alone in the opponents’ half isn’t offside unless he ‘interferes’ with play, but if he runs back into his own half in order to ‘interfere’ with play, he’s offside. |
