Luiz Adriano is a cunt ...

[LeTallecWiz]

Drop ball, and Willian plays it back to the keeper last night. Adriano runs onto it, rounds the keeper and scores into an open net. He runs back as if nothing happened, and the FC Noadfaadlfjalfjadsband (KHL - can you correct the spelling?) players go crazy. Surprised they only talked to him, I'd have knocked it the cheating cunt.

Check out the UEFA & FIFA write ups ... They don't even mention it. They should fine and ban the cunt.

Shit thing to do. In the Soccernet report, Shakhtar then tried to give them a free goal, but one of their defenders didn't catch on and cleared the danger. Not sure why they didn't try again though.

Shakhtar striker accused of disrespect

Luiz Adriano has been criticised following his controversial goal in Shakhtar Donetsk's 5-2 win over FC Nordsjaelland on Tuesday.

Shakhtar maintained top spot in Group E of the Champions League with their convincing win in Denmark, but the result was marred by Adriano's equalising goal in the first half.

The hosts took a shock lead in the 24th minute through Morten Nordstrand, who received an injury in the middle of the park two minutes later.

After Nordstrand was treated, Shakhtar midfielder Willian kicked the ball back to Nordsjaelland goalkeeper Jesper Hansen, only for Adriano to latch onto the end of the pass and score his first of the match.

Nordsjaelland's defenders made way for the back pass, leaving Adriano with open space to score and he received some stern words from the Danish side for his actions.

"Their striker didn't get it," Nordsjaelland captain Nicolai Stokholm said. "I looked down at my armband and there's something about respect - it has to be said we didn't see much of that.

"We thought that they would give us a goal. Half their team seemed to think so too, but the other half didn't."

Shakhtar appeared to let the home side through for an equaliser shortly after the goal, however, Taras Stepanenko had a different idea and cleaned up the scraps.

It didn't take long for Nordsjaelland to get back on level terms when Kasper Lorentzen struck from close range, which Shakhtar coach Mirca Lucescu claims was an attempt to make ammends.

"I'm very sorry that we scored a goal that caused so much controversy," Lucescu said. "Luiz Adriano told me that his instinct made him score the goal.

"Afterwards, we let our opponents back into the match, but Stepanenko did not understand our instructions. Fortunately, it was quickly settled.

"We deserved to win as we were the better team. Again, I apologise for what happened in [the build-up to] Adriano's goal.

"We are very proud of this victory and it should have been 10-2! I apologised, what else do you want me to do?"

Bad sportsmanship but there's nothing in the rules about it is there? So 'technically' he's done nothing wrong.

 

[James]

And what's the difference between letting them score a goal down the other end as a sort of apology/payback and match fixing? What about the people who were betting on a clean sheet?

 

[rurikbird]

Embarrassing and unnecessary. Instead of focusing on Shakhtar's achievement of qualifying from the "group of death" with a match to spare, everybody will be talking about this. I can't believe the communication in the team is so poor that there were two monumental misunderstandings in a row.

Not really 'the' group of death - City/Madrid/Ajax/Dortmund is far tougher.

But it's a remarkable achievement nonetheless - this should have basically been the night Chelsea are eliminated too, but they got lucky against Shakatr last time.

 

[Holle]

It also happened in the Austrian Bundesliga a couple of years ago.

The match had to be replayed.

 

[rurikbird]

Unfortunately, it's not possible (I think) to replay and Champions League match. And Shakhtar won by 3 goals, so replay wouldn't be fair to them either.

As far as the score was one- one it wouldn't matter. With Nord Sjælland scoring again the next goal, the score would have been 2 up. This is disgusting behaviour!!

We had the same (thoug a bit more unlucky as it was down to complete shitty goalkeeping) situation over here lately, where a team scored a fluke when trying to play the ball back to the other team. Thy solved it with letting the victims score straight from kick off.

Other than being a cunt, he hasn't done anything wrong. Fining and banning him would be completely wrong.

I totally disagree. And I use the Zidane vs Materazzi as an example. Materazzi did nothing wrong besides being a cunt, but admitted his cuntishness(??) and took his penalty. If I ever was to respect that ass for something it was that.

Unsporting, but he's not actually done anything wrong in the laws of the game. This sort of behaviour should only be allowed vs utd.

I'm not saying I agree with what he did. I couldn't disagree more. I'm just saying that he hasn't broken any rules.

Of course this is wrong towards FIFAs Fair Play code? If the plan was to score, the Nord Sjælland player would have tried to block the ball when it dropped. This is unsporting and in breach with the intentions of the game. Shaktar should be punished hard.

RANT TIME

I rarely find myself fuming with anger from watching a game of football not involving United beating us, but last night was one of the worst displays of sheer lack of sportsmanship I've ever witnessed. And at this level, it's ridiculous.

One thing is the way they conducted themselves for the goal, Adriano's cheeky way of celebration, the way Willian perfectly laid the ball up for his teammate as was it completely agreed upon on beforehand and the fact some defender decided to overrule Srna's decision with Stokholm (Nordsjælland captain) to give them a free goal, another far more sad state is the way Lucescu afterwards cowardly defended his team and players.

- He acted only by instict

- I told my players to give them a goal but they didn't listen. BOOH FUCKIGN HOOH eh?

- If you saw how much huffing and puffing there were at halftime you wouldn't have given them a goal either start second half to make ammends.

Cringeworthy, abysmal and truely sad on behalf the game.

People claiming it wasn't of importance because of the final scoreline only had to see the game for themselves and know a bit about the psychology of the game to know otherwise. In the first half hour it was a very even game, probably with the hometeam being the better team scoring to 1-nil.

Shakthar then did this little trick of theirs only few minutes later and then completely stirred up things and left Nordsjælland's players completely frustrated. Then they refused to make it up for them and only a very well-played goal gave the homeside another lead. But you could still see the players faces where left bewildered and shaken.

Shakhtar then scored on the brink of halftime and then again immediatedly after the break, completely ruining the last ray of hope in a rather unexperienced and young homeside.

I despise the way some people and teams (see Chelsea as well) are dancing to the tunes of money only. A win last night secured Shakthar a ticket to the play-offs and no fair-play or sportsmanship code in the world would hold them back.

I sincerely hope UEFA take a firm stand in this and punishes the Ukrainians, otherwise the Fair-Play banners on show when the Champions League hymn blows are as phony as a Rolex bought for 2£ in an Morrocan kibbutz.

*No offence to Morrocans or there Kibbutz-thingy jsut trying to make a point here - and to be honest that Rolex is a phony.

The good thing is though, this result means a draw between Shaktar and Juve means Chelsea go out and both teams go through.

Get your mortgages on the draw.

 

[the_khl]

Haha in the highlight package on UEFA's homepage you won't even see Shakthar's 1-1 goal.

I guess I am not getting my hopes up for UEFA to take a stand in this case after all... ah well... the best team won and everything.

The humour in all this is not completely lost on me either, seeing that the greedy, money-grabbing Shakhtar-team is now likely to be the executioners of the greedy, money-grabbing Chelsea - ignited through a despicable lack of sportsmanship in a hunt for glory (money).

 

[Spionkop69]

Trust me the draw will happen and it will be the worst odds you will see for a draw pre-game. Time to mug some people on Betfair!

I think the referee should have interpreted it as ungentlemanly conduct, booked him and disallowed the goal.

Drop balls should be contested.

This tap the ball back to someone is crap.

 

[Aidan O' Neill]

I don't know how they can be punished (or why the game should be replayed) because there is no official rule here. I won't deny that it is terrible sportsmanship and pretty much blatant cheating, but I don't see how you can throw the book at them and then not do the same for say a player who dives to win a penalty that results in a winning goal, or similar situations.

Personally I don't think a replay should be in the cards, done is done, but I believe UEFA as an institution preaching FAIR PLAY should make it well known that some unwritten rules are as important to follow as the ones written.

Personally I don't blame Adriano as much as I do the Shakthar manager and club to be honest. His goal would've been less abysmal had they just given a goal back instantly, then we could all say yeah honest mistake let's move on.

Now it's just grim.

How far have football gone when a simple thing like "Drop the ball and tap it back to the other side" can't be a part of it anymore? How low are the sport sinking? That must be the simplest rule there is in any sport whatsoever.

Bollocks. Of course it's a rule.

An unwritten one, yes, but it's a rule and everyone knows that, trust me, even Adriano.
