Valencia fume over opening goal

[Guest]

Valencia were left fuming last night over the opening goal that Maurice Edu blasted into the net at the detriment of his own safety.

Representatives from Los Che were admament that the corner that led to the goal should have been retaken given that the ball had not been placed inside the arc.

A source told the Sun newspaper that, "The Rangers player, Vladimir Weiss, sent over the corner-kick from the left wing when the ball was clearly outwith the arc.

While they are moaning maybe they can explain why they were given a free kick for their goal? Never in a million years was it a free kick.

So grow some balls and STFU

[RobertN 390]

aye that was the reason none of there defenders never got anywhere near it and there goalie flapped at it knocking out mo edu in the process

because it was a few centimeters nearer the goal

They are quite correct in what they say, but this happens EVERY week in every league in the world...and it's not the only law that's not policed properly, so they can whinge all they like.

EVERY GAME PLAYED is technically started with an illegal play because the law states that the team kicking off must be in their own half of the field and that includes BOTH FEET of the two players performing the kick-off...But that never happens, so it's up to the referee's head honcho's to make sure their officials are doing their job properly.

No part of the ball was touching the arc when wee Weiss took it, so it's not our fault that this is allowed to happen on a consistent basis.

"A source told the Sun newspaper that, "The Rangers player, Vladimir Weiss, sent over the corner-kick from the left wing when the ball was clearly OUTWITH the arc."

oh really?

a spanish source told the sun newspaper that the ball was "outwith" the arc?

this is totally made up bullshit

outwith is only ever used by scottish people, english people dont use it - spanish people talking english would use the word outside not outwith. i would bet EVERYTHING this is a totally made up quote by a scummy journalist who, like all the rest of the dfbs, is totally shitting himself regarding sunday.

Don't believe the whole ball was outwith the arc.

[gunslinger 270]

the ball was in the arc.

if you view it from above it was and thats all that matters.

they should learn the rules.

theirs no doubt in my mind you are correct.

The rules state that a part of the ball must be touching the line of the arc at a corner, so I've just had 3 looks at it again on the hard drive and it looks out to me...but then again, I don't really give a fuck what they say because it's a goal...end of story.

no you need to think in 3d the edge of the ball only needs to overlap the edge of the arc.

it was fine.

As gunslinger said, no part of the ball needs to touch the arc. So long as, when viewed from directly above, one part of the ball is above one part of the line, it's in.

who cares it was a goal that stood am happy enough!

when the sun are making up factually incorrect stories to have a go at us. i care.

50% of the throw ins in top level games are foul throws too.

Agreed. In nearly every game, a players back foot comes off the ground when taking a throw in, which I believe is illegal. As for the corner, happens all the time.

don't read the sun total waste of space and always full of rubbish so i don't care!

100% of there throw in were foul throws last night. I really hate to see a professional player unable to do something as basic as that

what a load of shite, how come i can count 2 of their corners went out yet the ref played on, how come they still had 10 men on the park when naismith was elbowed in the face, how come the barge in the box on whittaker wasn't a penalty, rangers never a got a freekick when miller was caught with a follow through at the edge of the box and the countless foul shy's by them, broadfoot got pulled up for less during our uefa cup run.

bunch a gretting faced shites, if we had taken our chances they'd be going back to spain with their tail firmly placed between there legs.

Also the player who floored Davis after he got the ball away to Papac before his attempt should of been booked for a late tackle from behind.

The French boy who hit Naismith should of had a second yellow for his two cynical late sweeps just outside the box.

[blueben_d 40]

I also thought the foul on foster was a straight red, no attempt to play the ball whatsoever, very dangerous to kick a player over in full flight.

[sillybilly 151]

Fuck the sun. Pure bullshit again from the rhag.

[Smile 26,600]

That's the thing about these Spanish cheats i still remember Messi blubbing like an utter fanny when we stopped him playing football, you were lucky you were let of the hook Valencia as you were utter dross..

Remember they needed one of our own players to score for them.

[Bluepeter9 5,167]

I thought they would be complaining that Edu had fouled the keeper by thowing his chin onto the keepers fist
