Is van Persie ever gonna score a free from a promising position again?

Was a shíte free kick too, no power in it at all.

We really needed to have equalised by now to come back into this game. I wouldn't be as dismissive if it was United, but I can't see us winning this at all!

Don't give up, we're yet to have our obligatory lapse in concentration.

edit: Also worth noting that we've kept one clean sheet since October, against Wigan, and we didn't even win that!

Sending off for someone not too far away, for who will decide the game.

That was a lovely little lob from Arshavin.

Funny they don't just say 'touching the ball' then. :rolleyes:

Nice try though

Oh really?

Take the following scenario, Robbie Keane shoots well Kevin Doyle is offside, keepers palms it into Doyle's path if Doyle scores its offside, similar just with a defender.

2nd Phase offside it's called

In that case it "rebounded" of the keeper, he didn't attempt to play it to another player. Kos attempted to kick it which is why it does not apply in this case.

“gaining an advantage by being in that position” means playing a ball that rebounds to him off a goalpost or the crossbar having been in an
offside position or playing a ball that rebounds to him off an opponent
having been in an offside position

The only argument we can make is:

“interfering with an opponent” means preventing an opponent
from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing
the opponent’s line of vision or movements or making a gesture or
movement which, in the opinion of the referee, deceives or distracts an
opponent

But in this case Saha was a good few yards away from both defenders and not obstructing anybody's view. His run might be said to be a distraction though, but this is rarely enforced.

Oh so now you can read Kos' mind adn you know that ghe was trying to pass it, where as the keeper wasn't, one thing about refereeing is YOU CAN'T PRESUME.

No, keeper was on his line more or less. Saha was out a fair bit.

D. Bent just got one back for Villa..

No, I can use simple deduction. A player swings his leg through the ball if he's trying to kick, he leaves it stationary or moves it parallel to the ball if he's trying to block/take it down. A goalkeeper throws his arm if he's going to punch it to a player, he puts his hands up if he's trying to stop it.

Kos swung his leg.

Crucial we wind this one down and don't pull our usual stunt of 94th minute concessions.

Andrei is starting to look much more like the 2009 raper of teams Andrei.

Not the goal. He's buzzing around the pitch actually looking interested for the first time I've seen in a while now.

I wish Clichy would have hit that. He could have scored his second ever goal.

Frisbee

Feck ya Clichy you have to shoot there! Take a leaf out of Bac's book!

L'prof

Clichy you fucking gimp, what are you playing at!?!

Fuzzy_Dunlop

It was a great run by clichy, just a shame he didnt know what to do. should have squared it to the back post for Bendy or shot himself
