Kicking The Ball Out

Their second goal today seemed to come from the throw-in where Terry turned in to Jonny Wilkinson and booted in to the corner. This was, you will remember, when we kicked the ball out as Joe Cole was "injured".

The first thing to say about this is that it's wonderful to the see the great sense of fair play from the England Captain. What a guy. What a great role-model for all yougsters.

The second thing to say is that Arsenal players should be instructed that they are to wait for the referee to stop the game in future. No Club has suffered so much through this "protocol" as Arsenal have. From Spurs in 96 to Blackburn in 97 to Spurs in 06 to Chelsea in 08 - all massively important games which we have suffered a goal against from the "protocol" going against us (the only one we won was Spurs in 96).

By the way, how much has Abramovich paid that linesman. The bloke who failed to give them offside (twice) is the same man that flagged Gallas offside when he hit the post. Muppet.

The linesman was ready to settle for 50k but then he saw how much Shevchenko was getting for doing nothing. So he asked for 100k, Abramovich couldn't argue so the ref got what he asked for.

is there not a new ruling now encouraging players to continue the play unless they or the referee see it is a head injury

i seem to recall something like that being commented on in the african nations recently

maybe just a fifa thing

either way, he wasnt fckn injured, thats for sure and we had the ball in a nice area!

surely this is as much cheating as diving and could be open to debate as to weather a player could be book for clearly feigning injury when oppo is in advanced position

John Terry is a cheat, Joe Cole went down when we broke forward and the ball was well inside their half when Terry tried to kick the ball into the stands behind Almunia's goal. Strange how quickly Cole got up once Eboue had kicked the ball off. Can you imagine the outcry if one of our players had gone down?

Captain of England, he's not fit to wear the shirt!

The new rule introduced at the start of the season was that it was the responsibility of the ref to stop the game, players should never need to kick it out. We seem to be the only people who still are!

I quite like us retaining that sporting principle. The ref's don't seem to blow up tll after the ball goes out of play anyway and would rather we allowed someone to receive treatment

players are taking the piss with this one lying dome holding their knee until the ball is out fecking disgrace what terry did even andy gray had a go at him for it. play on until the ref blows, if we score and there's bad feeling towards it speak to the ref

Was it not Eboue who put it out....

In that case I wouldn't be surprised if Wenger DID tell the players to wait for the whistle...

eboue put it out because he felt he had to because of the chavs protests and it seems to be the thing now a days. terry the knob kicks it back into an area that is a disadvantage to us.

wheres the fair play in that?

RaM · Post by **RaM** » Tue Mar 25, 2008 11:28 am

Of course there was no fair play. Notice how Cole picked himself up off the ground as soon as the ball was put out?

Ironic though that Eboue put it out, he's a diving cheat himself....

I too like it. It proves we have more class than anyone else. But when it costs us? They don't give bonus prem points for class!
