F*ckin ginger bast@rd, bet he owns one of those friggin' jester hats as well.

Who the hell takes a bleedin' beach ball to a Liverpool match?!? :angry:

to be fair to the idiot, we don't know if he brought it or not.

Likely there are two idiots to blame but we only know of this one.

He should be grounded for life!

Some of you really aught to wind your necks in - he's about 14! Don't even for a second try and pretend you didn't do anything 10 times as daft when you were that age. He was just incredibly unlucky to have it blow up in his face like it did.

Could have happened to anyone.

He is an ugly little sh*t, though...

At the end of the day the goal shouldn't stand. It matters not a jot what the kid did, it's 100% the fault of the officials that the goal stood. As I said earlier, if they don't know the rule for sure, the game should be paused until they find out. It's not a throw in FFS it's a goal, and in a multi million pound industry like football the rules have to applied correctly. It's absolutely open and shut, it clearly states in the rules that the goal is null and void and they should have found out before awarding it.

I'll tell you this here and now for free, if it was the Mancs they'd be campaigning for a replay. there might even be something in it, if a sub had scored the winner when they had twelve on the pitch or something it would be played again.

but what exactly are the rules though Mick? If someone can quote the clause and enlighten the proper interpretation in these circumstances it will be interesting. Apparently a similar obstruction happened at a FA cup game between shefield united and man city last year. City's defender messed up a clearance because the incoming ball hit a balloon and shefield united scored as a result. Our case is more of a direct consequence of the deflection caused by the balloon though.

I don't know the wording magus but Keith Hackett (head of the refs association) was saying that it definately shouldn't have stood, so I'm going by that. Like most people, I had no idea what the rule was until it happened. That's my point with the ref, I don't blame the fella for not knowing but surely they could have found out. A bit of "hang on lads the fourth official is just getting us a ruling" would have been fine.

You cant really blame the kid for the woeful attempts on goal we had though can you? Everyone loves a scapegoat, and in this case its a kid and his beachball ! To blame the kid you would also have to blame those who allowed it into the stadium and the makers of the bloody thing.

A freak goal but you cannot pass the blame to him, you have to look at why it took us 10 attempts on goal before getting one on target.

by **Reg** » Sun Oct 18, 2009 6:28 am

The lad is not to blame for our woeful performance he IS to blame for being a dick and ultimately costing us the game.

by **Dazzer** » Sun Oct 18, 2009 8:45 am

Yep watched MOTD and they said goal 100% should not of stood once agian 2 points lost due to a ref.

Also I am not shying away from fact we was dire. :down:

That as may be, it is rather an excuse and shouldn't be used. You can't complain if you lose because of a goal that shouldn't have stood, or if you don't get one (ie Stoke last season) that should, if that is what you are relying wholly on ie if we deserved a win then it wouldn't have depended on ONE incident.

I've said for a long time we don't score enough goals, the real culprit was a Mr R.Benitez who was pictured more times I'm sure than the kid who threw the beachball on the pitch. Poor system, probably the wrong game to play that pairing of Spearing and Lucas and then when we're not looking like scoring he waits until deep into RST (Rafa Substitution Time) to try and correct it.

Honestly we were probably lucky it was only 0-1. Anyone know how many times Rafa has tried three at the back and if we've not lost in any of those games?

get a grip, he's about fourteen, with an assist already. Snap him up rafa. Also, colour blind, didn't realise we played in :censored:

sick gold and black.

Blame?

Rafa. For buying absolute :censored:

up front. Crouchy, bellamy, keane all gone. We bring in babel, voronin, n'gog. Please figure that out? Blind faith in rafa is getting us rather screwed.

A british manager to get this club where it needs to be in the prem. Forget europe, we need our bread and butter. Look what them lot down the road are doing. Not p;laying well, but still top of league. Reminds me of a team that use to do it for twenty years. Seems along time ago though, who was it?

by **JoeTerp** » Sun Oct 18, 2009 9:33 am

I think all XI players should have walked off the pitch over to the 4th official and waited for him to tell the ref the rule before resuming play. I guess we probably weren't 100% confident in our protest maybe?
