SSN were also bemoaning the "controversial" third goal. :rolleyes:

Well the reason for the rule is probably to protect players from injury. It's considered basic equipment and it needs to be on at all times. Of course if you shoot and the boot comes off, the goal will still count. And if a boot comes off and you're nowhere near the ball, there's really no point stopping play because he's nowhere near the action. Obviously if you get involved with the play (and kicking the ball is getting involved) then play has to be stopped.

I'm guessing that Fergie was going to say that there was nothing dangerous about tapping the ball 2 yards to another player. Realistically Evra wasn't going to get injured from it but I think getting involved with the play should rightly be off limits. And, more importantly, it is off limits so there's no point calling it controversial. It wasn't really a controversial call IMO.

The offside goal? As good as it was, you could moan about that. But not about the 3rd goal.

They could moan about the pel from outside the box.

Now THAT is controversial.

We were the only English side to win in Europe again this week. :scarf:

:lol:

United :haha:.

Rafael :haha:.

Channel Five :haha:.

Bilbao :bow:.

Llorente :bow: he is how Bendtner sees Bendtner in Bendtner land.

Muniain :bow: he is going to be amazing. Spanish super-skilled midget factories :bow:.

They should batter United at home, especially if Jones (terrible player, makes Parker look like Xavi), Evans and Smalling are playing in that atmosphere.

Should put it beyond any doubt now that La Liga is a lot better than the Prem, but of course it won't as we'll see some 3-3 game on the weekend played at 100mph and contain shocking defending, which will inevitably lead to the the 'best league in the world' soundbyte.

I remember when we had a kick around with some spanish kids on holiday last year, they were only about 15-16 but the difference in style was so evident. We couldn't keep up with their movement, being the filthy GHELs we are.

Hopefully Sir Jack is the first of a new generation of GHEL's with technique.
