Why didnt Kolorov pass to silva ????whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

On my dodgy stream I couldn't make out if it was a handball or not. Looked like he headed it, but I guess not. Otherwise there would have been more protests on the pitch,

Same here, mate. Looked like his head to me but I am hardly watching in super HD.

A strange 45 minutes, but there are enough signs to make me think we can win it, all things being equal.

Just seen it and it looks accidental. However, I am biased.

Turdandinho.

It's more cock-esque. No offence to anyone with a cock or who loves them. (Just covering my PC bases).

We will not find it easier this year IMO. Stoke are playing wide open. They are there for the taking.

Playing better but Fernandinho's touch is poor. Both Ferns actually.

[iwasthere2012]

We need to be more clinical when we get these chances.

[Sideshow Bob]

Even Silva is having a mare

I don't think I've noticed Fernando being on the pitch at all so far. Totally invisible.

Racist. You can only see his teeth?

like a bitch with her legs splayed open waiting for it. How we can't plop it in with all this giant penis i have no idea.

Struggle Bus.

And a goal kick. We get nothing. Original Douche might be right. That was a pen for anyone else. It's a pen or a dive. Pick.

cheers

I totally disagree with this - and I'm pretty sure the rules do as well.
Crouch was part of the play and beat the defenders to the ball due to standing in an offside position when the shot was made.

If you're not right, it means you can park one player at the goalie and just wait for someone to shoot and create a rebound, right? Or am I completely misunderstanding your discussion?

No, that's what it comes down to.

If you mean the disallowed goal. Crouch was offside. He became active once Hart touched the ball. Straightforward offside.

That's what I'm saying. Sparty is disagreeing.

The flag went up as he was in an offside position at the point the ball was crossed, but the minute hart spills it, his previously offside position becomes irrelevant. Hart was under no pressure when he went for that ball, and therefore the player wasn't active. He only became active because hart fucked it up, and that has nothing to do with the position crouch was occupying. Goal for me, all day long. I'd have been fucked off if we had that chalked off anyway.

And yes, you could stand someone on the goalkeeper all game, and if someone shoots from the half way line and the keeper spills it without any pressure from the player in the box, the player is then onside.
