I'm going for a 3-0 away win !!!<br /><br />To Nadeem .... yes, you are probably right about the penalty which we can't comment on because the incident occurred at the 'away end' and there was a melee of players to obscure our view.<br /><br />However, I have to say that hand/arm ball is a contentious issue in refereeing circles and I have to refer you to the Law which states .... 'If in the referee's opinion .... blah blah ....<br /><br />Speaking personally, I always used what I thought was a common sense approach, ie, if it is ball to hand/arm and the arm is below the waist then I would shout .... 'play on' !<br /><br />As a referee, you have to assess the intent and that is obviously what the referee, Ali Bey, did. The decision making must be almost immediate, so there is no time to ponder incidents.<br /><br />I think Ali Bey made his position clear from the 4th minute when he gave Muhammed a yellow card. Therefore, it was foolish of the Korfez No8 to show dissent after receiving a yellow.<br /><br />As for Emre, yes Nadeem, you are absolutely right that he had a great game, and my point in the report was, that so did many others in the team. It is pleasing to see Ankaragucu playing as a team and that was highlighted when Levent praised the two players who gave him the assists for his goals.<br /><br />Let's hope the momentum continues next weekend in Nazilli.Eski Kanka Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409300460469903974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-38400193654228850602014-02-17T09:15:58.184+02:002014-02-17T09:15:58.184+02:00" I'm going for a 4-0 win, and that's..."

Agree their were a lot of good performances but Emre Tasdemir was excellent. <br /><br />Disagree about the referee though, the penalty was defo very harsh, only way the defender could have avoided it was if he had no armsNadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01426759805328711471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19571982.post-61791915625301838712014-02-16T20:26:55.888+02:002014-02-16T20:26:55.888+02:00Great report Jim.
