so
aguero kicks it goalbound and howard parries the ball directly forward away from goal.
therefore the ball doesnt hit the post and is travelling in opposite direction to the goal
and is in second phase as people say, it then hits the referee who deflects it into the
goal with no other player touching it. is this own goal still or agueros goal...................

or
what would it be, if it had it hit the post directly [eg without howard touching it]
then the ball in some peoples eyes is in the second phase of course and ball is
moving away from the goal then hits the referee and rebounds into the goal
without anyone else touching it................
surely that cannot be an own goal as the last person before the referee to contact
is aguero.
and off course agueros initial shot is technically off target for the dubious goals
panel, so normally they cannot give it him as would never have gone in..................
The use of the word 2nd phase was unneccesary whoever used it.
If it's saved, then hits the referee and goes in - Aguero's goal.
If it hits the post, then the referee and goes in - Aguero's goal.
It really is quite simple. Much like offside, just that people try to complicate it.

What do you base this on? Without knowing the trajectory of the ball, who's to say it wouldn't have gone in? either due to the spin of the ball or possibly off the other post first?
It doesn't bounce back in the direction of Howard's head if it was going to go in off the other post. And the speed of the ball in the opposite direction of the goal negates any idea of spin, at least any amount sufficient to make it stop, and go the other way.
Regardless, I think and hope you're not being serious.
It's because of Howard that it didn't go in, in the first place.
The rules are clear. It's Aguero's goal.

why are you thickos still arguing saying it's an own goal.
It is not an own goal, on the past precedents.
Whether you think it is an own goal or not, It will go down OFFICIALLY as Aguero's.
That you cannot argue with.
Really, because it's gone down as an own goal in pretty much every media outlet you can think of. And with the premier League too. Apart from that you're spot on though. Oh, except for the precedent thing, which is also categorically wrong.
Prove me wrong on the precedents. It's clear.
The media are not known for knowing the rules. Just look at their attempts to know what offside is and the constant reference to "last man".
