Match Thread | Stoke vs Man City (11/02/15)

I've never bought in to calling people rags but there are some raggy little twats on here tonight if they honestly think heading it on to a finger with your head down and stumbling is deliberate when it altered nothing. In real time I couldn't even see it. Absolutely appalling decision.

 

[SWP's back]

No clean sheet in 10. Just what the specific fuck on stilts is this bollocks and where is it all going to end?

Actually one of our better halves against stoke in 5 or 6 years.

Looks to me like he felt he hadn't got enough of his head on it and thought it was going wide so decided to do a Maradonna.

this 100%

Sorry chaps but that's exactly what it looks like. It was almost certainly still going in, and he should have let it, but he didn't.

What an idiot

For me that's exactly what it is. Thought he he'd missed and instinct makes him bring his hand up to knock it in. Cant argue with that decision.

Watching that is just making me even angrier. A dodgy Stoke penalty is coming up in the second half, and I hope Trevor Francis never commentates on any of our games again.

gets the gig for bring an ex blue

Can't trust the defence, need at least 2 more to win.

Thanks for this, far better than my stream and makes it to clear to me.

Thought he didn't touch it, but he did. If he didn't why put your hand up anyway.

Fucking stupid thing to do.

Looks like if his header could have hit the post...id handball it as well to avoid such a miss

Don't understand how yet again we have no idea how to handle Crouch, he's had a field day against us enough times that you'd think he'd be marked in some sense from a corner. Not to mention Moses running in straight lines is enough to rip us apart.

 

[MeatnSpudsMCFC]

Call it what you will but it was BLATANT handball and absolutely NO NEED to do it. No one within 5 yards of him and the ball was going in anyway. Stupid!!
If that was Fernando or Mangala they would be getting slated.

Agree!

+1

radio guys called it even before it went in......no goal!! and clear handball.....

It was a handball and was certainly the correct decision. But it was accidental, He looked like he was falling forward and his hands instinctively went forward.

Just unfortunate.


And the reason why Aguero isn't getting slaughtered for an error is because he's one of the few actually pulling his weight in the squad.
