Dave Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Who gives a shit anyway? Harper should have done better with it, the goal was coming, Sheff Weds were well worth the draw and it was no worse than the Ameobi goal that was miles offside. It's hardly like we were robbed.

Lenny Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Just looked now, it bounced off the top of his head after he had dragged Harpers arm down. Point stands at the end of the day, 100% foul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this, we didnt deserve to win and it was some sort of justice for our goal, but most people are argueing that it was foul, not that we were robbed. BTW, the contact sport argument is bullshit, you can't take someone out who's clean through on goal and claim that it's acceptable because its a contact sport, the same applies here.

Yep, I don't understand why some seem so determined to have a go at the players. His fuck up was bad enough to have a dig at him, you don't need to go to the extent of making out blatant fouls didn't happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you honestly saying he didn't leave Harper with one arm available to try and save it? Lets ignore the fact he probably would have fucked it up anyway, did he impede Harper?

Ronaldo Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I've been one of Harper's biggest fans on here, i've no need to be biased. It was terrible goalkeeping and the goal was right to stand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 It was terrible goalkeeping, as Midds said earlier he should have been brave and cleared the ball and every fucker out but you can't do that to a keeper, you can't hook one of his arms out of the way when he is trying to catch the ball ffs!

Ronaldo Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 So going by that logic you aren't allowed any contact with the keeper whatsoever? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't allowed to take one of his arms out when he is trying to catch the ball But yeah the majority of the time if a keeper is impeded the ref will give a foul against the attackers, I don't agree with this but if it happens with everyone else we should be entitled to the same protection. It was a bit more than contact though, as said he took one of his arms out. If you "made contact" with a strikers foot and he couldn't kick the ball it would be a foul.

Guest firetotheworks Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 If a player's allowed to hook one of his arms away then surely forcing his hands behind his back, tickling him and pulling his shorts down is allowed. No one's saying Harper didn't make a mistake btw, just that despite that it was still a foul. And yes, Sheff Wed were worth a draw, and yes Shola's goal was offside, but we're talking about this incident in particular because it's contentious. Shola's offside and the result weren't.

Guest neesy111 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 the players momentum took him into harper, and their arms got locked too many ppl on here thinking that football has gone none contact imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 If a players momentum results in him taking out another leg its a foul This is an incredibly basic argument, dunno how so many are missing it. Its an obvious foul. It couldnt be more obvious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
