[Albion] Iconic moment yesterday

Seagull58 · Feb 13, 2022

Captain Dunk chasing Ismaila Sarr from the left touchline at the half-way line from 10 yards behind, catching him outside the area, giving away a free kick but centimetres away from winning the ball cleanly.
Captain Fantastic (and the brown dirt cowboy).

I thought Dunk looked almost back to his best, but still a little off the pace. That could easily have been a penalty

On a similar note, I thought the ref had a decent game. For once.

1. He was only 10 yards behind because he fell for the dummy in the first place
2. Great recovery run, but clumsy tackle that could very easily have been a penalty
3. It cost him a yellow, that very easily could have led to a red for a handball on halfway, not spotted / given
4. The incident you are talking about was Dennis, not Sarr. Sarr wasn’t even on the pitch.

Apart from that, yes, agree.

It could also have been given as a fair tackle. You had to look very closely to see he didn't actually touch the ball first. He was not hanging about getting back!

No he didn’t
Lampety hacked down all game only two yellows should of been four at least one of the worst refs in league

I don't agree about the tackle. Dennis (my mistake) turned across him and he was literally centimetres away from toeing the ball away.

What is remarkable is that the booking yesterday was the first Dunk has had all season.

Almost kicking the ball isn't the same as actually kicking the ball.

Let's just agree it was not an iconic moment.

Kamara should have got a straight red for the assault on Lamptey. On MOTD they described it as a revenge tackle.

But it wasn't clumsy and the chase back WAS ICONIC.

For making him look silly, twice in quick succession

Don't agree. Yellow for the tackle on Lamptey not red. I agree it was a revenge tackle, but
it wasn't a leg-breaker come on.

Lampey himself later took someone out running back and got the same.

Veltman celebrating Webster's goal like a 6 year old in the playground.

I thought he was a useless, fat tosspot. As per usual.

The fact that Les Dennis left him for dead (Dustin Gee style) at the halfway line and he still got back to snuff out the danger (albeit at the expense of a freekick) is what made it ICONIC in my eyes. Dunk doesn't have the pace of Lamptey but he flew back.

WATFORD zero · Feb 13, 2022

My two were THAT tackle by Veltman and Maupay tracking all the way back to make a tackle :thumbsup:

timbha · Feb 13, 2022

Mine were Lallana’s calm control throughout the match, Veltman’s class and aggression and Duffy’s joy at being part of the winning team.

Edit
Actually the iconic moment was the fantastic rendition of Go Left in the second half
