World class defending

mailrewop

MagicMarker

Awesome.

Ush1

Il Muro of old.

mailrewop

should have been a goal

MagicMarker

You could see that ball to Anelka coming a mile off! Poor defending followed by great defending.

PaddyTheNth

well played motta

Inter defending brilliantly

Panthro

we are finally beginning to turn up the heat

Le King

Nothing more than a hug there.

CHD

Inter are getting away with murder in the box

PaddyTheNth

"Just a bit of a cuddle"

ffs its still against the rules!

CR 7

That was never a penalty, he put his arms around him, but Drogba just threw himself to the ground as soon as he saw this. Correct decision.

Le King

Lampard... What an idiot.

MagicMarker

Defense has been superb!!

Ush1

Nice Starfish Lampard.

Panthro

That is actually a foul.

Panthro

if we can follow on from the last ten mins or so of that half, we should get a goal or two. need to keep the pressure on.

Haha do you know the rules? Obviously not. :rolleyes:

Anyway didn't need half time there we were starting to pressure them. Apart from the last 5 minutes of that half we have been poor, Inter doing really well.

And referee's generally don't clamp down enough on illegal use of the arms and bodies to obstruct attackers.

Keown on Tv3 reckons Lucio is a problem

Johner

Yeah we were never going to get a penalty for that, they're just not given in them situations really.

mike65

Posh Boy on Off the Ball, describing this as a game from the Dark Side

Panthro

I really wish he'd tone it down a bit. That was part of the reason Barca bate us.

Yeah, I don't think he meant it though.

I'd agree. He's great at attacking the ball but he takes excessive risks throwing his body about like that. And his decision making can be poor, sometimes he's too quick to rush out, other times he will stand off and risk everything on his ability to follow up with the sliding tackle. He looks great because people see him making these great last gasp tackles, but better defenders wouldn't need to make half as many in the first place imo.

It actually isn't. I suppose you'll be telling me Lampard's dive should have been a penalty too? There was the same amount of contact.

Did you see him looking for a penalty?

You need to brush up on your knowledge of the game.

Holding an opponent includes the act of preventing him from moving past or around using the hands, the arms or the body.

Referees are reminded to make an early intervention and to deal firmly with holding offences especially inside the penalty area at corner kicks and free kicks.
To deal with these situations:
• the referee must warn any player holding an opponent before the ball is in play
• caution the player if the holding continues before the ball is in play
• award a direct free kick or penalty kick and caution the player if it happens once the ball is in play
