That wasn't a penalty, bwhahahaaha

It wasn't? Throwing himself at the ball with arms in the air?

Fair enough I'd say.

 

[cobrastatus]

agree with all the downing posts, I am pleasantly surprised by the standard of his play tonight. Now if he could do this all the time against mediocre opposition we'd really be getting somewhere...

 

[HC]

stonewall peno.

You cant have your arms up like that,regardless of how the ball ends up making contact with them..

Well deserved.

The Downing bashing are just way off if you look at this game isolated. One of the most inspiring so far along with Adam (despite a few misses) and Bellers imo.

Have to agree. I thought he was playing really well, and then I log in here and see all the criticism.... Enrique has given him some utterly shit passes to wok with though...

 

[Whaddapie]

Was the peno the last kick of the half..? There's no update on soccernet.

Or are all of you taking the piss..?

Really? He's done alright in the past 10 mins or so up until then he was as ineffective as ever

Apparently Gureh Neville has tweeted that it was never a penalty.

Apparently Michael Owen has as well.

Seriously, soccernet's 'commentary' has the score corrected now, but there's no discription of the goal... The penalty never happened, but we got a goal! Mental.

Agreed mate. Enrique is having a right mare so far to be honest. Constantly giving away possession.

 

[keniget]

What will it take for Adam to stop with the stupid fouls?

It happens a few times every single game. This time we were lucky to get away with it.

Him and Enrique have been indecisive. It's only when we scored that they got their act together. Downing has looked decent and Henderson, Kuyt and Bellars have harassed the fuck out of them.

He really was and he needs to get rid of it.

That pass of his that almost got to Kuyt however almost made my day.

[/quote]

Likewise.

Surely you should have to know some of the rules to commentate.

Since when does it have to be a deliberate case of handball in order to be a pen? Dickhead.


Thought Downing had looked very good myself; still no assist or anything but he's giving City a nightmare. Not sure I could give Adam such a vote but Bellers has been fantastic in his work rate and attitude.

 

[cochyn]

On paper Bellamy should never lead a line. Bit fuck me he is doing a bang up Job of it. At 32 how the fuck has he still got the legs I will never know. Well done bellers!

 

[Farkmaster]

I don't give a flying fuck, but I think someone with an understanding of the handball rule can conclude that wasn't a handball. And it does matter whether it's deliberate or not.

what are the exact rules of handball? I thought if your hand makes a movement towards the ball (rather than the other way round) it's a penalty.

He has Savic's nerves torn to shreds. I reckon Mancini will sub him during the break

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Penalty was a bit harsh, but if you have your hands up in the air like that, you got to expect that to happen.

 

[Mamma Mia]

At most, you could call it contentious.


I don't get people insisting that it was 'never a pen'.


Unrelated to the penalty, there's far too much negativity in this thread for it to be on a supporters forum. After all the doom and gloom about us getting humped tonight, we're playing well and making City look rather ordinary.

Nah.

He was about to sub him a minute or so before they scored. It was pretty obvious he was deffo going to be gone at half time
