The Dunk "Handball"

Giraffe · Apr 8, 2017

Thought at the match that it was a clear handball but having just watched the game this morning and seen Holloway moaning on I'm surprised he didn't see the clear push on Stephens immediately before it. The bloke who heads it was all over him.

If video replays came in would they look at that or just focus on the handball incident? Good example of why it it might not work very well?

Yes the push on Stephens was a foul and dunk leans toward the ball, his arm never leaves his side but, we've seen them given.

Couldn't see from where we were but understand there was a suggestion that Perch's tackle was a possible red?

At the very least a yellow. Most would have given a red.

Joke ref ...at least a booking

Rotten tackle. An in between carder. Somehow the ref gave nothing.

Thought it was a pen for the handball, tbh. Def yellow, probable red for the tackle - very poor.

Looked like a penalty to me. We'd have been annoyed if it was at the other end and not given.

And good news, another game for Dunk without a yellow. Looks like he may not get a three match suspension after all.

Don't care, we won that's what matters

Wasn't even a push, it was a clear climbing on Stephens to take an advantage, none of the 'experts' picked up on it.

Them's are the breaks that teams at the top end of the table get and finally we seem to be getting some decisions go our way that would not normally..

Sussex Nomad · Apr 8, 2017

That ref was awful last night. Two or maybe even three times their players went in to try and do damage and he just let it go. Poggy wastes time and gets booked! It is obvious to me it is more dangerous to waste time.

Exactly. More interested in how Perch didn't get a red card, over top the ball, absolute dangerous play for me.

Keith Andrews highlighted probably a penalty but also a sending off.

Thunder Bolt · Apr 8, 2017

The ball hits Dunk's elbow but he tries to turn his left shoulder to get out of the way. The ball doesn't change direction so although there is contact, it doesn't really affect where it is going. The ref had a clear view of it.

Perch should have got a yellow at the very least, if not red.

I thought that it was. Only watched on TV but I am sure the commentary said really bad tackle and lucky to get away with it.

I don't think that's a good example of why it won't work. It's not often that such an important incorrect decision will be immediately after another incorrect decision for the opposite side.

It was 100% (and unlike footballers, I actually know what that means) at least a yellow. I don't know about red, maybe 50/50?

Yes, at least a yellow and a half!

Yoda · Apr 8, 2017

I thought it hit Dunk in the area between tricep (handball) and shoulder (not handball). If in doubt (which Hoops might have been) you can't give it.

That's pretty much how I base my opinion on thing like this, so yes, I reckon it was pen.
