The more you see that free kick and listen to Dunk and what he said the more you realise Atkinson knew exactly what he was doing. MOTD didn't make a meal of it either way, although the commentator (who has a few hours to sort out his over match commentary and make us believe he can see into the future and is a footballing genius) said it was quick thinking, fuck off.

As far as I always thought, you either take the kick quickly, OR wait until the wellness organised. 

 

If it's not taken quickly, then the ref should wait until the 'keeper is ready. 

 

Bullying waste of a red card too, seeing as they scored anyway.

If the ref can blow when the defence isn't ready then what is the point of the ref blowing anyway?

 

What is the ref's cue to blow?

The point is that it's the signal to restart play.

 

His cue, if you want to call it that, is that the ball is in the correct spot and that the wall is at the minimum required distance.

Yes, the rule is the ref should ask the team awarded the free kick if they want to take a quick free kick or he measures the 10 yard distance between ball and wall. If the attacking team wants the 10 yards measured, the ref has to give the defending team due time to organise the defence without engaging in timewasting.

 

What the ref cannot do is ask the attacking team do you want a quick free kick or distance measured, gets an answer no quick free kick, measure the distance then ask the attacking team a second time when the defending team is arranging the wall, do you want to take it quick again, get an answer yes and then blow the whistle.

 

This is what the cunt atkinson did in the game

Consider the blow-up when VAR correctly called a push on Lovren, yet crickets here. 

 

Taking the circumstances into account, did Adrian do anything unreasonable? No. So why did the ref effectively punish him for it?

I've been dreading December because the games come thick and fast, and we're going away for that world club cup thingy too. So managing to put some space between us and the others is very welcome and I hope that by the new year we've somehow managed to keep a decent gap, even with a game in hand. 

 

But oh how I'd wish we could go back to some of the 4 or 5 nil games we used to have, that might come in the new year but we seem to be having to grind them all out lately. That we're doing that is great of course but I'll be a nervous wreck if this carries on.

We haven't been quite the same defensively since Gomez suffered that injury last season. Not hat Matip and Lovren have been poor. Far from it. But we could get away with playing the high line far easier when Gomez was alongside Virg due to his pace.

Trent done it against Barca, if we done it we'd be laughing about it. 

The lads are bolloxed, especially the front 3.we need to mix it up with what's available on the bench,otherwise we'll start losing points and give city hope.

'If, when a free kick is taken, an attacking team player is less than 1 m (1 yd) from a ‘wall’ formed by three or more defending team players, an indirect free kick is awarded.'

I'm more interested in why the FA think 2 completely different units of measurement are identical.

No way was that harsh on us that free kick. We were fucking about for ages.

 

It was 28 seconds from when Adrian arrived back on his line to start sorting the wall. And he was stood in the wall for ages before that as well. They were fucking about. No urgency at all. 

 

I’m not defending Atkinson in general, but how long do you want them to have to arrange themselves?

 

We continually (and rightly) take the piss out of city and Everton for their persecution complex, but think that Atkinson was desperate to find a reason to send Alisson off and then organised that free kick purposely to disadvantage us. It’s ridiculous.

 

If anything is shit about football, it’s nothing modern, it’s the fans who see things one way for their own team, but laugh at others for showing the same attitude concerning their respective teams.

Give yer head a wobble lad. Watch that video again. Atkinson is still marking out the 10 yard line for the wall at 1:35! The wall cannot get organised and lined up until the ref tells them where to fucking stand to be the regulation distance from the ball.

 

He walks back to Dunk at 1:44 who then strikes the ball at 1:50. That's 6 fucking seconds from walking back from the wall to the ball being struck.

 

Tell you what, remember when city had bravo sent off in that CL game and walker had to go in goal? Bet you the UEFA ref in that game gave walker more than 10 seconds from kyle walker going in goal to organising a wall and facing the free kick.

I'll agree it's fair game. That's if atkinson let's us take a quick free kick in the same situation and doesnt prevent it like he did a season or two back. Until then, he's a cunt.

It all comes back to Allison’s brain fart.

He keeps his head and even if they scored none of what followed happens . I actually think Atkinson gave Brighton some leeway on the quick fk because we were taking up time and that he thought Allison’s professional foul had prevented a goal .
He was wrong to give them an advantage to try and even the score but it doesn’t matter now
