[Arjan Van Schotte]

Defender got caught napping. Looked like Barry was all over him but in actual fact the defender didn't jump and backed in therefore the contact was inevitable.

spot on mate, from where i was, the defender made no attempt to get to the ball - only to block barry.

Having just seen xavi's gif I can't see a foul by Barry. Perfectly legitimate goal

[LookMumImOnMCF.net]

Honestly think it's one of those games to not even bother analysing. Played well against a really dogged team without creating much. Pinched a goal when a draw looked on the cards. Next game please.

I'm looking forward to reading this.

Looking at that gif the defender clearly knew what he was doing

and now having seen the gif - the defender is a twat coz he probably could've cleared it. Ha!

[highlight]looking for language tutoring:[/highlight] is that the proper english to mean what in Italy we call "to make a bridge", i.e. backing frontwards to avoid who is jumping on his back to find a prop?

genuine, I'd like to know if this was understandable... :-)

Thank god for that!! Got to be honest though, for me that was a foul by Barry.

No it wasn't. at least defender made a bridge on his jump.

cheers mate, but You only half answered... lol.
which is the proper English for it?

[Beefymcfc]

Saved us a ragging from the Rags. I'd had a few texts, they stopped in added time. Smiling my smiley little face off.

Hahaha, Roger: napping is snoozing, fell asleep at the vital time, if you will...dunno why I'm laughing mind, my Italian is shite.

oh go on then - napping means sleeping, but what i think you're trying to get at is also correct.

probably.

lol,
so what's the correct English to name the foul committed by a defender, who that forward to prevent the attacker from finding a prop?

well, that's deffo MORE IMPORTANT than my language enhancement... so much taste in scoring in Fergie's!

Surely it's not the proper fee for a professional tutorship, but You'll have a free pint asap, Mate.
cheers for help.

despite it also sounds similar of one of my favourite intercourses---->

Dunno, I'd say backing in.

Although I reckon arjan is on the money. Defender was trying to be clever and win a foul instead of a simple clearance. Had he actually gone for the header it probably would have been a straight forward foul.
