Conjo Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 As funny as the handball was it's pretty shitty. Remember raging and wishing death upon Elmohamady when he tried it against us, then he proceeded to moan about it being disallowed. Opening match if the season against Middlesbrough. 0-1 up after a Bellamy goal ( ? ). Hasselbaink handballs it in towards the end. A couple of weeks after that, we get Souness.

joeyt Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 They only overruled it after protests from the keeper and some other Reading players, initially they were happy for the goal to stand Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Aye, but you don't give handball because an opposition player says so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Maybe I should have put the word 'initially' in my original post. It was a good 2 minutes after the ball went into the net before it was overruled. Had there been no protests I doubt it would have been overruled The ref didn't blow and the linesman was on his way back to being in position for kick off before they were surrounded by Reading players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 They only overruled it after protests from the keeper and some other Reading players, initially they were happy for the goal to stand The linesman would have ran back to the halfway line if he thought it was fine. Clearly he thought it was dodgy and wanted to consult the referee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 He was on his way back to the half way line though Yep, this is what I heard on the radio; both the ref and linesman seemingly didn't see it so I'm not sure what made them give the hand ball.

Louise Taylor said the fourth official gave it. Not like her to be wrong. Both the referee and linesman have it until Reading players swarmed the referee (isn't this against the rules now?). The referee then went over to the linesman on the far side and had chat with him then they disallowed the goal. The referee blatantly bowed to the pressure of the Reading players, OK in the end it was the correct decision but they can't let players do that to them.

TRon Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Should be good for at least 25 goals this season. I didn't know he was a free kick specialist so that's a bonus. "at least" Howay man Not looking so daft now eh mojo? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
