Why do we so rarely get a penalty?
Every time one of our blokes gets fouled your eyes look quickly to the ref who has no hesitation in waving play on. There are so many example but last night and the Grady Diangana one are ones that spring to mind

Re: Why do we so rarely get a penalty?
Couple of things.

Firstly, our players don't really dive or make too much of a fuss- certainly not compared to many other players/teams.

Secondly, Arnie, Antonio and Carroll in particular do not get a lot of decisions their way- penalties or otherwise. Don't know if it's reputation or the fact they are both such units that officials have a hard time believing they've been fouled. Carroll often gets pinged when it looks like he's the one being fouled.

Re: Why do we so rarely get a penalty?
Is it easier to ask why all Salah has to do is get touched to be given a penalty?

Arnie was rugby tackled last night, yet got nothing. Carroll got elbowed in the head, an offence for which he once received 2 yellow cads in 5 minutes, yet last night go nothing, apart from a cut.

Diang was tripped in the box and got nothing (nor a yellow card) yet refs think Salah has been fouled every time he goes down.

I don't understand.

Re: Why do we so rarely get a penalty?
just had a quick look.
Last season we were awarded 4 (8th)
More than Liverpool, Man U and Tottenham (3)
Crystal Palace top with 10!
Make of that what you will.

Cos you touch yourself at night.

Re: Why do we so rarely get a penalty?
I'm also amazed that we don't concede penalties more often when the idiot Ogbonna plays.
His wrestling in the area is just stupid.

Re: Why do we so rarely get a penalty?
Antonio could have played for one last night but decided to blast his shot over the bar, FairPlay but could have been the difference between 1 and 3 points.

Re: Why do we so rarely get a penalty?
Because we don't do a Superman impression like Kane does everytime we get in the box. I have given up on refs making the right calls now and VAR won't sort it as it comes down to interpretation and everyone has different views. I think you have to catch the ball above head height and shove it up your jumper to be given handball against you these days.

Re: Why do we so rarely get a penalty?
Their defender tried to pull armies arm out orbits socket before the first goal last night

Re: Why do we so rarely get a penalty?
I was thinking this last night. Especially when i saw palace score another penalty. We never get them. Thought Arnies was a blatant pen. if that was at old trafford or anfield it would of been a penalty all day long.

gph 6:25 Thu Jan 3
Re: Why do we so rarely get a penalty?
We were lucky we didn't get a penalty instead of our first goal...

Sven Roeder 6:32 Thu Jan 3
Re: Why do we so rarely get a penalty?
I think it IS fairly obvious that if the offence on Arnie was committed on Salah or Kane it would have been a pen without hesitation

Can you imagine us ever getting a pen like Salah’s v Newcastle where a hand on his shoulder meant he lost the use of his legs?
Inconceivable

North Bank 7:14 Thu Jan 3
Re: Why do we so rarely get a penalty?
Sven agree and more to the point why don't Salah, Rose the other week, Alli, Murray last year against us kicking our defender's leg and going down etc get pulled up for it and awarded a retrospective ban, so only Lanzini & Diasse have gone down easily in the last 18 months

Total load of bollocks

Re: Why do we so rarely get a penalty?
Is it because we is... you know?

the exile 7:40 Thu Jan 3
Re: Why do we so rarely get a penalty?
Sorry but if the one on Arnie had been given last night it would have been really soft. The defender was breathing right down his neck but there was actually very little contact.

Mike Oxsaw 11:05 Thu Jan 3
Re: Why do we so rarely get a penalty?
Brand PL needs (NEEDS) one of the top 4 (Liverpool, 2 Mancs & Chelsea) to win the league EVERY year to keep up the sales in Asia.

That will have been made clear, if not directly & explicitly, to the referees, by whoever pays their wages.

They were caught sleeping by Leicester - won't ever happen again.

Chrisel 11:16 Thu Jan 3
Re: Why do we so rarely get a penalty?
Again, according to the figures we were awarded more penalties than man u, Liverpool and Tottenham last season.

Still, don't let the facts get in the way of a good rant...
