Finical

Karma for beachball get in!

Lets just say that the beach ball incident has been made up for.

Liverpool goal: I don't believe that's been given to be honest. Sunderland are awarded a free-kick midway in their own half, and Michael Turner turns and taps the ball back to his goalkeeper Simon Mignolet to take it. Dirk Kuyt pounces, collects the loose ball and runs through on goal before beating a stunned Mignolet. Referee Stuart Atwell is going to get a lot of stick for that.

From the Bbc Website

Sunderland free.
Turner taps it back to Mignolet to take it.
Kuyt presumes Turner has taken the free kick, latches onto the ball and scores.
Ref says 'fair enough'.
Then I lolled. Watched replay, then lolled again.

doc_17

Hmmmm...Maybe the pundits are right. These things really do even themselves out over the course of time.

Sunderland free deep deep in their own half. All outfield players walking up towards the Liverpool end awaiting hte inevitable punt. Michael Turner taps the ball back a few yards presumably thinking for the keeper to come out and take the free. Liverpool players (torres and kuyt) loitering in the area take that tap to be the free, ref agrees. Torres and Kuyt nip in and score an easy goal 2 against the keeper.

Sunderland player flicked it behind him towards keeper to take free kick in, in the way that ya hit ball to person taking free kick. Was near semi0circle, only rolled a few yards, Torres ran down, took ball as keeper walked out to him, he passed it to Kuyt who had open goal. A half-ounce of common sense it would be quickly deemed not to have been taken.

Dont see how Liverpool fans can say karma, not as if Bent meant to hit it off a beachball an idiotic fan threw out on the pitch.

It was Torres that pounced before squaring it to Kuyt.

Free out to Sunderland in their own half. Everyone pushes up. Defender comes up, kicks the ball 5 yards backwards as if he wants the keeper to take the free. Torres jumps on the ball, keeper stops thinkg the free hasn't been taken. Torres passes to Kuyt for a tap in.

Kess73

Sunderland on top now. Coming through the midfield like there was nothing there.

What would the ref have stopped play for? Turner was on the spot of the free, placed the ball, then turned and hit it toward the keeper, a good 4/5 yards toward him. Didn't look like he meant it as the free but he was on the spot of the free so he can't 'take' it and say afterward he didn't mean it.

Also lollers at everyone posting the mistake of BBC saying it was Kuyt who ran on to it as if they had seen in..

Mushy

Calamity by Gerard! He got saved.

me-skywalker

Attwell needs a new job. Awful ref. Controversey just follows him.

Watford V Reading Phantom Goal.
Forest V Derby taking away 2 legit goals from Derby.
Liverpool V Sunderland goal..

No, he took an opertunity, up to the officals to decide the out come. Not watching it so cant comment further.

Not in the slightest, was just pure opportunism.

I'd see it akin to a player going to take a throw in, have ball behind their head, then another player comes to take it so they throw it softly at them. Other player catches in hand and takes the throw in. Just because he's on the spot of the throw-in, doesn't mean they are taking it at all.
