But your implying that it's not important whether it was deflected, which is true.samharris said:pudge said:It was a great goal, that happened to take a slight deflection, so what?samharris said:just looked on the OS;
Dzeko 51 mins.
why didnt they mention it was deflected??
oh yeah!! silly me..
It's not that people are taking away from his goal, it's the ignorant denial of any deflection and the subsequent labelling of those that mention it "rags" that people are frustrated at.
This is my first post in this thread since the match so I haven't been involved in any argument, shocker..
Although, your above post and reasoning is shocking to be fair lol
Theres a book you really need to read pudge..
its called 'Sarcasm for dummies'.

You cannot criticise anything about him without hissy fits being thrown.
this is true

But to some, as "you have already made your bed" it's hard to know if you meant it's not important to bring it up and "knock" him or just not important in the grand scheme of things.
I hope it's the latter to be fair
People complain that his goals get "dissected" but this is what's happened;
"Nice goal by Edin, regardless of the deflection"
"What deflection?! You're a rag"
In fairness, I praised him after Newcastle and the only criticism I levied even close to his direction after Cardiff was a criticism of both forwards saying they didn't link well.karen7 said:If he doesn't score he is shit,if he does score he is shit,there is no pleasing some people and they wont change their stance whatever he does.I hear his name sung at the matches and he is very confident right now so good luck to him

It really wasn't just Dzeko fans, it was most people. Also to be fair Balotelli never deserved to be a 3rd choice striker ahead of Dzeko anyways, especially the last half season he was here, he just wasn't delivering. I think Dzeko had like 7 goals for Balo's 1 in the same amount of time on the pitch and Balo was starting ahead of Dzeko, which would frustrate the most player neutral of fans.taconinja said:I would find this perhaps slightly more compelling except I think you were here when every sniffle and blink by Balotelli was dissected most often by really angry Dzeko fans.noise said:Only Dzeko's goals get dissected to bits, to ensure he doesn't get any undeserved credit.
Sure it was a lot of fans. Lots of Dzeko fans, though, were rather open about going after him to take heat off their guy. In fact, that entire forum discussion that went about 500 pages was explicitly started... let me emphasize that... the discussion was explicitly started... as in the guy posting the first post... to take the heat off Dzeko. This was before a single ball had been kicked in the season. So no "bu-bu-bu-but Dzeko scored 7 goals to Balotelli's 1!" nonsense. They had both scored zero.
