Bendtner "block"
Despite the fact, the defender made a complete meal of it, some will use that against us.
Well, look at the first half, Theo run through on goal, Bendtner knocked by the same defender off the ball.
What is the difference?

The way they(commentators) carried on, you'd swear we(AFC) make the rules and all the teams have to play by it. All teams push all the rules to the max, not just the off-side ones. Pricks.Irish Gooner wrote:Despite the fact, the defender made a complete meal of it, some will use that against us.

Some refs would have given the foul as Bendtner, imo, should have seen the defender and could probably have avoided colliding with him. That being said, it didn't affect anything since there was no chance in hell that the defender was going to get close to Theo, so treating it as an accidental collision was probably the sensible option, especially since the defender could just as easily have avoided Bendtner

Re: Bendtner "block"
I couldn't believe what a meal they made of the "new offside rule". Seriously guys, I know England is resistant to rule changes, but it's not THAT big of a deal. Nobody was catching Walcott regardless, including the guy who crashed with Bendtner. 2-0, deal with it.MegaGooner wrote:The way they(commentators) carried on, you'd swear we(AFC) make the rules and all the teams have to play by it.

Take the blinkers off lads... Bendtner knew exactly what he was doing and it was a stupid and unnecessary thing to do. Another ref might have been stricter about it and given a free against him. Having said that the defender made an absolute meal of it and I think that might be why the ref waved us on. Back in the day (or if Gerard or Carragher did it nowdays) the comentators would say he was being "clever".
Agreed the defender also was never going to catch Theo.
And Bendtner's goal was a truely classy finish. Still don't rate the guy as top class but credit where it's due. Two games back, two good goals.
