Was a blatant pen what do you mean? He almost broke his ankle
Shouldn’t be a penalty if the ball had already gone though. The contact after didn’t affect the way the ball was played. Penalty should be awarded for denying an action in the box.

Penalty takers don't seem to be having a good time this tournament.

He clearly went for the challenge while the guy had the ball. A foul isnt only if you have the ball at your feet directly

What the hell are people saying the ball was gone. That makes it even worse, it was completely mistimed. It wasn’t even a slight touch, his ankle was bending.

I only understand that argument if the ball had gone out for a goal kick or something. Even then, he’s still been fouled with a mistimed tackle.

Of course. You think it would be okay to hit/elbow someone if the ball is not around?
I swear some people just don't know how football works. :lol:

And anyone agreeing with Danny Murphy about anything football related falls under that category.
