Rematch

[Dominus Maximus]

According to a Danish Fifa ref, the match should be replayed. He says that the ballon is a foregin object, and therefore the goal should not stand. Doesn't matter if it is a ballon, a dog or a person.

 

Get on it ASAP Purslow!!!

[Walrus]

Nah.

 

We lost, it was a freak goal but we didn't deserve anything anyway. Get over it and let's not embarrass ourselves as a club more than we did on the pitch today.

Our refs are s***tier than the English so there's no chance of that happening.

[Gunga Din]

He's right. But no chance. At best we'll get an apology.

 

Has Rafa said anything about it?

[Barnesy_10]

An apology for what?

An apology from the Liverpool fan who t****** it onto the pitch??

[Benzo-13]

Rafa just said you can't blame the beach ball for the performance.

[surf]

goal shouldnt have stood, ref let it stand, ref should apologise

 

we were still crap and deserved to lose, mind

[Maldini]

The goal shouldn't have stood, but there's absolutely no chance of them overturning it.

[CarraLegend]

We are playing crap at the mo but the stuff going against us is just ridiculous at the minute, stone wall pens not being give, cheats getting free kicks, bizarre bookings like Kuyt's today and a crap shot straight at Reina deflecting off a balloon/beach ball and going in the goal, its f***ing mad.

 

Oh yeah and national teams injuring our players in nothing games.

putting aside the fact that we didn't play well - we lost to a single goal that should never have been allowed to stand. But it's finished now, and - as some have said - an apology is the most we might receive.

 

Still quite something that we lost at Spurs when we were denied a clear pen at 2-1 down, West Ham scored a dodgy pen against us (i.e. rules of game not enforced because the kicker touched the ball twice) and today we lost to another freak goal that should not have stood.

 

So that's 3 absolutely shockingly bad decisions in just 9 games - can you imagine United getting 3 such stinkers in such a short space of time? These here are the differences between winning and losing the league (not that I think we'll be anywhere near the league at this rate.... But when United play badly, they get key decisions go there way. When we play badly, we get key decisions go against us.

The beachball had a shot on target tbf.

[drdooom]

Hey it all evens out in the end, there are 19 other beach balls waiting for their moment to shine.

[Sion]

An apology for what?

 

allowing a goal that never should have stood, it's irrelevent who put the beach ball there in the first place it interfered with play.

 

how about the next home game we t*** 20 000 beach balls into the oppositions half then tell them it's just tough s*** if it puts them off?

[richwilks]

The beach ball has scored more goals than Voronin this season in considerably fewer minutes on the pitch.

Ferguson would be cool with that

[Red Kent]

I've read through the Laws of the Game and could not find anything specifically relating to this, however what I did find was:

 

The Referee:

 

• stops, suspends or abandons the match because of outside

interference of any kind

 

and

 

If an object thrown by a spectator hits the referee or one of the assistant

referees or a player or team offi cial, the referee may allow the match to

continue, suspend play or abandon the match depending on the severity of

the incident. He must, in all cases, report the incident(s) to the appropriate

authorities.

 

I think the balloon is covered by these two.

The beachball was offside....still had a better game than Babel though.

ROTFLMAO

[Barnesy_10]

we had 85 mins + 7 mins injury time to make up for this. We didn't... we f***ed up. They looked more likely to get another goal.

 

I am just glad Rafa isn't kicking off about it as it would be embarassing.

[CarraLegend]

we had 85 mins + 7 mins injury time to make up for this.

 

That doesnt make it alright you clown!

 

That has to be the most annoying argument ever. Like the bellends last year who were like "well we still had 87 mins to score against Stoke", thats not the point at all.

[lfc003]

haven't read this throught but if this threads serious then its embarrassing

[Chili Palmer]

Its understandable that some feel this way. Personally I am in the 'we lost, get over it' camp.

The second one is totally irrelevant as it relates to objects hitting an official. Im pretty sure that the referee (was that his debut? he really really was out of his depth..) was wrong to allow it but there will be no rematch, and rightly so.

you again..

 

the ref made the goal count... the players knew this... at no point was that going to change so get on with the f***ing game..

 

its not difficult.... s*** like this happens all the time, but it doesn't make f*** all difference if its a beach ball, a wrongly given penalty or a disallowed legit goal....
