[QUOTE="weasel, post: 566977, member: 14"] I can kind of see why they gave it. The movement is from Phillips onto Gordon. Gordon doesn't move his leg, he just plonks it between the ball and Phillips and waits to be kicked. As I said though, I don't like to see pens given for that. It’s manufactured by the attacker. In this case Gordon made no attempt to play the ball, he puts his foot between the ball and Phillips. If Phillips suddenly disappeared Gordon still wouldn't get the ball, it was moving away from where he plonked his foot. It’s the definition of a manufactured foul. Strikers will call it “clever play”, I call it cynical borderline cheating. And, I don't think you should get a penalty for it. You can argue that Gordon actually fouls Phillips as he isn't trying to play the ball but block Philips from clearing it. But what do you expect from that wee toe rag. [/QUOTE]
