Ivan Toney

Eight months out. Scores a goal first game back and is MOTM. Time needed to get back up to speed in the Premier League - none. Comments about tiredness, needing more game-time to be at his best - none.
'In your darkest moments, did you ever imagine scenes like this?' the interviewer asked Toney in front of a delirious Brentford crowd.
'Of course. 100%...before the game I said, we're winning and I'm scoring.'
Some will say that he is not returning from injury but after eight months out, you would expect some rustiness. We can learn from this mentality. He's a winner. A proper footballer.

Saw a few muppets whining he moved the ball ffs. Happens every fackin game but Toney is a criminal for doing it

No it doesn't. Shouldn't have counted.

I generally frown at the cheating in the game because the authorities have the wherewithal to help stamp it out but don't so it continues.

In this case I think it shows great ingenuity. Such a move will henceforth be called doing a Toney.

So many people to blame - the ref, his assistants, the 4th official, the keeper (who checked the wall after he moved it), all the players in the wall none looking at the move, all the rest of the Forest team, the guy at the end of the wall that shat it and jumped to his right...all more to blame than Toney who is just a regular cheat like the other 21 on the field.

Moving the foam twice to create a better angle after the wall had been set up was the issue. VAR are supposed to check every goal and should have disallowed it.

I’ve watched football a lot and never seen that done before. You can bet nobody will get away with it in future and that goal was crucial in the game.

Blatant cheating that was so obvious it was laughable.

Yes players move the ball at free kicks but never, it seems, when the ref puts a marker down.

Once a cheat ………I guess.

One of players does ask the keeper if he's allright with the wall if he tries to bend it around us.

The wall was fine until Toney took the free-kick. Then they fell like scythed wheat on a summer’s day.

Bizarre you are taking such issue with a player and team that is not in competition with your own and when every player cheats to gain an advantage. Are you new to the game?

Players reposition the ball to get out of a divot or to get a particular face of the ball to strike through, but ive not seen a player use the foam and move the ball twice to reposition it. It was enough to change to angle and beat the wall. Cheating and should have been spotted.

Why shouldn’t I comment on a player cheating no matter what league he plays in? It’s nothing to do with who he plays for but the fact he not only moved the ball but repositioned the refs foam twice as well. That’s blatant cheating and it should have meant a yellow card and retake of the free kick.

Also, the last time I checked this was an open forum where we can discuss anything to do with any player or team .

Any thoughts on the Forest wall being in front of the foam line drawn for them?
