Spurs 1-0 up against West Ham at half time, with a rare start for Robbie Keane. Mido got the goal.

Boro against Fulham is the late match.

Btw, is it just me or are Boro getting alot of TV coverage this season? Their games always seem to be on.

Pepe LeFrits · 20-11-2005 4:00pm

hahaha, Ferdinand equalised for West Ham in the last minute!

Sickener for me. Have Paul Robinson in my fantasy team

Have Paul Robinson and Ledley King. Just got rid of Cech last week for Robinson. Damn

Wonder-goal by Collins John for Fulham, 0-1 after 30 minutes.

MrJoeSoap · 20-11-2005 6:27pm

1-1, James Morrison scored just minutes after McBride hit the post with a great header at the other end. Very good game.

[edit] - 2-1 = Papa Bouba Diop

2-1 Fulham now. very entertaining

2-2 Yakubu/Hasselbaink. Excellent game.

Very interesting offside debate. All happened so fast its very hard for the referee to decide.

MrJoeSoap · 20-11-2005 6:45pm

3-2! Hasselbaink, what a game.

Necronomicon · 20-11-2005 6:58pm

Am I the only one that didn't see anything wrong with Yakubu's goal? It looked to me like Zat Knight was a good few yards ahead of him when Hasselbaink squared it across the goal.

MrJoeSoap · 20-11-2005 7:10pm

The offside rule states that once the attackers are past the goalkeeper any other defenders don't count. Because both Yakubu and Hasselbaink were past Warner, Zat Knights position didn't matter at all.

Necronomicon · 20-11-2005 7:16pm

Oh, thanks for clearing that up, I didn't know about that rule. Great game though.

Almost correct.

A player is in an offside position if:

* he is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent

You can be beyond the keeper, but as long as there's two other defenders nearer the goal line you're still onside.

MrJoeSoap · 21-11-2005 12:13am

Ah right, the keeper in this case was the second last player so I was almost right.

It's a lot of stuff to be going through a referee or linesman's head as well as trying to judge distances from 40 yards away. Uriah Rennie has a tough job making simple decisions anyway.
