Magma 0 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 (edited) Lol the other team are complaining because of the goal by Giggs, and all of the other team are walking off the pitch, they are back on the pitch and continuing with the game Edited February 20, 2007 by Magma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty 0 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 What a game that was. Had everything! The match itself wasn't spectactular but evertything else was gripping stuff. Interesting to see what UEFA do to Lille in terms of punishment. Should be thrown out of the competition in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themags 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 what a strange game ITV said, there were too many fans in one area, people been crushed so the french police respond by tear gas'ing them everything after the Giggs goal was comical, proper playground stuff i think Lile will get some fine off UEFA can't see them been thrown out and lets be honest Man Utd are chance to put 3 or 4 past them at Old Trafford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Was the goal within the rules? The french players claimed that it was against the rules in the press. I said to a few irate fans last night that i'd seen Thierry Henry do it plenty of times. Seemed to defuse their tempers a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night the kick wasn't taken immediately so I can see why Lille are so pissed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I can't defend Lille coaches for encouraging the players to walk off but I think it was an ungentlemanly goal. I know Henry has done it plenty of times but if you watch the footage it's the Lille players who pass the ball back to Giggs to alow him to take it quickily - bastards, I'd be spitting chips if it had been scored against us like. Goes to show you have to be a cynical twat and put a man standing over the ball to prevent the kick being taken quick, but then you risk the fuckers kicking it off you as bergkamp did with robert. I think the actions of the fans and police were fucking awful like. The players were not keen on going off and it was that coach who encouraged it. It was nice to see that the pundits on itv didn't blame the fans straight away, it's not that long ago that hassle like that would be pinned on the fans straight away without question.

Super_Steve_Howey 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 All I could find regarding free kicks. Nowt about waiting for the whistle http://www.fifa.com/en/laws/Laws13_01.htm FIFA Law 13 - Free kicks Signal The referee indicates an indirect free kick by raising his arm above his head. He maintains his arm in that position until the kick has been taken and the ball has touched another player or goes out of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my understanding too, you ask the referee if you can take it quickly and it was up to the opposition to be paying attention. I thought he then needed to signal or whistle though, which he didnt. The ref nods and its taken straightaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only have themselves to blame tbh. Next time you see a match, watch how many times there is an opposition player standing over the ball to prevent a quick FK, even one just walking past where the kick is due to be taken from. It happens more often than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty 0 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 (edited) I can't believe so many people don't know the proper rules. Of course that goal was legal. In a situation like that the referee asks the taker if they want the wall walked back 10 yards, and therefore will have to wait for the whistle, or if they want to take the kick straight away and not have to wait for the whistle. It's clear that Giggs said he wanted to take it quickly and so didn't have to wait for the whistle. The Premier league teams have realised this and thats why you see 1 player standing in front of the ball while the keeper sets up the wall in case they try to take it quickly. Lille only have themselves to blame for conceding that goal tbh. Edited February 21, 2007 by Matty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
