Ray Parlour

A lot of regrets appeals for it.

He'll take it.

You appeal for everything you can.

But it's a horrendous decision.

It really is.

It's a grey area in football right now.

Because there's no doubt at all that he's not put his hand to the ball.

That's ball to hand.

What a lot of defenders tend to do now is just put their hands behind their back just to take it out of the equation.

But there, his arms are in a natural position.

He's

balanced he's trying to you know if anything doesn't want that ball to hit his arm it's a really poor poor decision now J Rodriguez might say you know what it was one you know they were lucky should have had one early in the season for West Brom but as a defender it makes it so hard for you as well you even think it's shocking a lot of people put their hands behind the back but when you do that you're unbalanced

you know it's still a shocking decision to give the penalty do you think it will make our game better i'm not a big fan i must admit i'm a matter of fact goal line technology has been brilliant for the game i feel when you're having it's about opinions like ray and i and liam we could be here all day talking about is that a penalty has he got the ball first is he not i think it's going to slow the game up there are certain decisions i.e that one perfect for but i think the other grey areas are going to be a nightmare and i think you're going to undermine managers it's going to take too long and i think it's going to take away the feel that referees sorry undermine referees and they need that feel at times they'll lose their confidence i

I think it's a bad thing for the game if it comes in.

Because it's not like rugby, where are they on the line or not?

This is like decisions that are so, you know, they can debate them all day.

Yeah, I mean, it was...

Alan's trying to do the right thing by getting an extra man on the wall.

The truth is, if he doesn't go in the wall, the shot's going wide.

But you've got to stand up.
