Nottingham Forest were given a 'free goal' as they started their replayed Carling Cup tie with Leicester.

 

The second-round tie between the two sides was abandoned at half-time in August after City defender Clive Clarke sufferred heart failure.

 

Forest were leading 1-0 at the time and the Foxes sportingly allowed their east Midlands rivals to regain that lead in the opening minute of the game.

 

Forest goalkeeper Paul Smith benefited by scoring his first career goal.

 

Clarke, 27, was admitted to hospital after collapsing in the dressing room during the original cup tie on 28 August.

 

Clarke's agent, Gary Mellor, said the player was treated with a defibrillator in the dressing-room.

 

Clarke, on loan at Leicester from Sunderland, had regained consciousness by the time he was taken to the nearby Queens Medical Centre in an ambulance.

Robbie Fowler against Arsenal, when he refused a penalty and then took a weak one so Seaman could save it.

 

Paolo Di Canio for Hammers, I believe, who stopped play when a keeper was down, when most people would've scored.

 

Sorry, not to undermine Leicester's philanthropy, merely appending to it.

Did he fuck. :lol:

 

He said it shouldn't be a peno, aye, but he still clearly tried to score it.

 

 

 

I thought he did score it?

Well done to Leicester, very sporting indeed.

 

Especially considering the glittering prize awaiting the victors in the next round.

No need man.

 

Respect it for what ut is.

He wasn't on about that.

 

The winner of that tie (Leicester) play Villa in the 3rd round.

Anyone remember the game where some team scored from th kick off and the keeper wasn't looking.

So they let the other team run through and score but the defender and the goalkeeper were having none of it.

Was sure it was in China Japan or somewhere like that

There was a game, I think it was an Ajax game where there was a drop ball from miles out and when it was played back it lobbed the keeper, so they let them walk it into the net.

 

Complete reverse of fair play there was a German game, think it was Bayern where one team scored, had it disallowed and whilst they were celebrating the opposition went up the other end and scored!

Don't remember it, but too fucking right. I wouldn't give them a goal back for being muppets.
