Were all those free kicks for holding the ball???
More specifically were they for run down from behind holding the ball...
My guess
Armitage....push in the back, holding the ball in a pack...very aggressive inside player
Milne.....high tackle, holding the ball, marking contests
Gilbert.....incorrect disposal, marking contests
schnieder.....touching an opponent (umps hate him)
Dawson.....Marking contests
Fisher......Marking Contests
Montagna....too high

i never said he gets caught "so often"....he got caught opening minutes in the biggest game of the year, pretty much sums him up.To the top wrote:Given he gets caught holding the ball so often according to certain on here, please explain:-
Frees Against
Armitage 36
Milne 35
Gilbert 30
Schneider 26
Dawson 25
Goddard 25
Fisher 24
Montagna 24
Clarke 16
So, less than 1 free against a game?
Hardly supports the argument?
plus you have to go near or at least touch the ball a lot to get frees for/against, thats why his tally is so small.

I blame Fisher as well he could have shepherded for raph and we would have been seeing him differently.skeptic wrote:in the opening minutes of the biggest game of the year Sam Fisher was running with him and rather than block... dropped off for a passsaintdooley wrote:i never said he gets caught "so often"....he got caught opening minutes in the biggest game of the year, pretty much sums him up.To the top wrote:Given he gets caught holding the ball so often according to certain on here, please explain:-

I respect Martos opinion because it's thought out and has a basis even though i don't agree.
Dooley on the other hand is reaching for things to criticise Raph with and could not care less if they're out of context...
he's clearly made his mind up already ad is just s#!ting on Raph now as evidenced by his rather underwhelming contribution to this topic - his bad blah blah blah
Any objective personally who watches that part of the 1st GF on tape can see that Fisher should have blocked for him and that that's solely not on Raph (though his awareness still cost him).
