Good perfomance Legrottaglie!! He was punished by something he didn't do!!!
“The ball just ricocheted in front of me and hit my arm - it was an unfortunate penalty,” Legro recalled.


He doesn't deny that it hit his arm. I don't see why you think it wasn't a penalty.

Because like he said, it was the ball that hit is arm and not his arm that hit the ball...

Doesn't matter.

His arm was out and stopped the ball getting into a dangerous area.


I'm sure you would have expected Juve to get a penalty if the ball had hit an opposition player like that.

you think that i'm blind because it's Juve, but i'm not... i can see being impartial... it's hard to know truly if it's penalty or not but IMO it's penalty...

I'd say it was 50-50. Of course I'd want the call as a Juve fan. But when the ball plays the arm, rather than the other way around, a ref should use discretion.

In this match, he didn't need to.

the new rule set does say that it is not important if the player did want to play the ball with the hand or arm, so it was a clear penalty

actually its depending on which league the game is played, in Russian Premier League no one would`ve called that a penalty, but in Italy they do. Against Real Madrid in Champs League Legro had one similar situation too, were he played with hand a little in the box, but the ref (cant remember his nationality), who were standing few meters away, didnt whistle, cause for him it seemed unintentional. One rule different opinions about it ;)

He had really bad performance and he was scared against Inter. Come on Legro, learn how to be like Spartan, is there anything to be scared of? Inter Merde? No way. Hope he'll improve his mentality.

He just wears safety goggles when playing table football because of the number of injuries to player's eyes that have occurred in the past.
