Live on PremPlus.

35 minutes in, both sides have hit the post but it has been very sloppy otherwise. Scott Parker once again shows that Sven Goran Eriksson is a clown for not picking him. He is an absolute sensation. Like Roy Keane but better.

0-0

(Check out Shay Givens *almost* howler)

1-0 Roberts!

MrJoeSoap · 15-10-2005 2:11pm

Shearer with a clear goal (over the line by a foot or so) not given. The call for video replays gets louder.

Lemlin · 15-10-2005 2:20pm

Come on Mickey Owen, how's he doing? I have him on my Fantasy team.

Roddy23 · 15-10-2005 2:20pm

Shay doesn't do howlers. He leaves that to Lehmann, Reina and Van Der Saar!

What VDS howler are you referring to ???

Roddy23 · 15-10-2005 2:39pm

VanDer Saar had plenty of howlers while he was playing for Fulham, whats the deal here, he ain't perfect.

KdjaCL · 15-10-2005 2:41pm

Gwan tthe wigan. Only 8 points behind Chelsea and in 2nd place. If they keep averaging 2 points a game theyll finish on 76pts.

I think you will find that this goal was not allowed due to a foul by Shearer before he got the header in.

Holy Second-in-the-table, Batman!

Mike.

Hate that...when they say four minutes injury time...but only play 3

Well neither is Shay Given! Todays one was quite funny, not really a close call but a bad error of judgement.

PS - Remember Dion Dublins goal? Still a class keeper but not immune of dodgy moments.

Finished 1-0, McCullogh sent off with 5 minutes to go for " serious foul play" on Emre. Didn't see it yet so just waiting for the highlights.

In fairness, if the best "dodgy moment" you can come up with is a time when he didn't see a player standing behind him, then I think that's pretty good.

I thought it should have been a foul alright but the referee actually didn't give a foul. Therefore, it was a goal.

Deserved red-card for McCullogh by the way.

Lemlin · 15-10-2005 2:50pm

With the defences Shay has had in front of him over the years, its a miracle he hasn't had several howlers a season. The likes of Titus Bramble hardly inspire great confidence.

I remember a Zenden daisy cutter trickling past him too. Still one of the best keepers in the world but not perfect by any means.

Ah I assumed thats why it was not given. I was sure he indicated for a free out though.

eirebhoy · 15-10-2005 2:57pm

Givens major flaw is his kickouts. If a ball is rolling up to him he rarely strikers it right. Certainly one of the most agile of keepers in the world.

MrJoeSoap · 15-10-2005 2:58pm

It certainly should have been a free-kick looking at it again, but because the free wasn't given the goal should have been. Maybe a case of the referee making up for one bad decision with another. Sky were showing replays so I can't actually remember if a throw-in or free-kick was taken. Either way, with the help of replays and hindsight, justice was done.

Camara stormed down the tunnel after being taken off, what a ridiculously stupid thing to do. Jewell chased him and said he told Camara he was "disappointed" with him. I certainly hope he said plenty more than that.

Pressure could be back on Souness now after his temporary reprieve.
