Re: Euro 2016 thread

Better term is probably 'not given'. I'd use disallowed to describe either an offisde goal or a decision that's then overturned.

Stuff like this stopped bothering me years ago. Especially given our own prolific cheaters. Ashley Young leading the way as king flop.

Plenty of times its went against us too, Lampard vs Germany and what is possibly some of the worst refereeing in history with Chelsea vs Barcelona at Stamford bridge in which match fixing suspicions were brought about because of multiple blatant penalty decisions not being given.

You can clearly label a diver as a cheat but can hardly tar a challenge from an opposing player which the ref got wrong with that brush. I can't remember a single occasion in which the challenger got up after a none decision and remarked 'that's a penalty'

Old Diego and Henry again that's what I'd label a cheat.

There's still an occasion from my own I question. Newcastle hold the record for the biggest comeback in Premier League history. I still to this day wonder what Newcastle's second penalty was given for.
