I haven’t seen a replay of it but might dad assures me that the incident that led to Mitrovic losing his shit was never a foul…”he just ran into him. He didn’t block him”.Oh 100% on the penalty I kinda want this to be a foul so I can feel like it equaled out
If it was shoulder to shoulder I would get the outmuscled thing but both hands on his chest grabbing the top of his shirt. Most of the time the second a hand goes on a player it's a foul. I can see I'm in the minority. Make sure you watch this set of highlights. It shows better what I'm on about.
Aware there is a lot going on at corners but did think this was in the extreme end of the scale before a foul is given.The reality is if you want that to be punished then fadz is going to give away a lot of pens, because it's exactly how he defends at corners at times.
As Otis has said almost every corner has similar things happen.
One of those things that happen looking at the replay it looks perhaps McFadz could have lost his bearings in tussling for the ball, if you notice Maatsen moved off the post to his right a bit and the header went right where he would have been standing. The good thing if there can be one it didn’t affect us a bit which after Wednesday was a massive plus.
I was playing a couple weeks ago, defending a corner. I did exactly the same (height is not on my side). I think it happens at every level, and I’m not saying it’s the fairest, but I’ve seen way worse and more blatant than Mitrovic’s yesterday.Well, i think it’s a foul albeit rarely given. If it had been a defender pushing a striker like that, I think it would have been more likely to have been given.

I don’t know if this helps?
If you watch the replay he was so off balance I didn't think he had a choice.Foul or no foul I just don’t understand why he felt he needed to head it. Particularly wrap his head around it and go towards goal.
If it was such a foul he should have gone down in a lump and forced a decision.
This is true. God knows what he doing on that side of him. Positional disasterOn balance I think it probably was a foul but I also think Fadz wasn't strong enough and should have been goalside to begin with.
I might be talking rubbish but I’m sure Fadz was standing “wrong side” for a reason.This is true. God knows what he doing on that side of him. Positional disaster
I agree it was a foul, but as others have said - so are about 5 other challenges on every corner. Can’t complain much about it.Definately a foul he had both hands around his neck. some Fullham fans also calling Godden a cheat which is ironic given the blatant dive one of their players did to win a free kick in the first half
Absolutely, JCS made no movement to block him, Mitrovic just ploughed straight into him when he stood his ground, ref called that spot on. Mitrovic should have been sent off for his pathetic tantrum. In fact Fulham really could have had 3 red cards, all for 2x bookings but the ref was incredibly lenient.
We got a pen for a dive. Not sure it's worth analysing a decision that didn't go our way and was debatable anyway
