why did the commentator call it 'chiek tiote's wonder goal'?
it was offside, therefore not a goal

 

[Trollsmoan]

The dude moved out of the way, now we may never know if it would have it him or not although it looks like it would of, so that's interfering in my book!

Wishful thinking?

I'm not trying to get into the debate of the call, I'm just saying the fact Gouffran ducks and moves out of the way of the ball tells me he was in some way in line with it.

Contrary to the oracle that is Danny Mills

Gouffran was in line with the direction of the ball but not in line with Hart's view of it. Goal should have been given. We should have only won 2-1, although I'm sure we'd have scored more if the ref had sent Yanga-Mbiwa off as he should have done.

Again, I'm just highlighting Mills' poor attempt at an excuse.

Gouffran was in line with the ball.

Imo, If he doesn't move then it hits him, offside. He moves out of the way whilst standing offside, he becomes active as he directly affects the path of the ball, offside.

That is your interpretation and maybe a fair one, but where in the rules of the game is this interpretation given credence.

Well we are getting a fair call from Danny Mills lol

Fucking waster get to fuck you bald twat (and I am bald)

Why ???? Because he has an opinion that doesn`t match yours.Therefore by your logic 50% of City fans are twats,seeing they also agreed with his thoughts on this forum earlier today.

no, because maybe he believes he's a free loading lying waster who knows little about being a pundit

Ha, I'm not that keen on him either.

I think it would fall under 'interference' as that is essentially what it was.

If that guy doesn't duck/move what happens to the ball?

Exactly this is my view also.

If the player wasnt there at all it would be a goal, BUT as the player was there and had to move for the ball to go in the net even if it does not touch him he is therefore intefering with play, Good call ref but I do believe making the call made him lose his bottle and thats why toon had all their players on the field at the end of play.

I cant see this as the rules stand at the moment.

 

[Bewar3them00n]

I notice that there wasn't a City goal in the goal of the month... Hasn't Yaya scored a few half decent free kicks? And what about Kolarov's against Liecester City ? Or Fernandinho's or Aguero's opener both against Arsenal?
Is it just me? Or having been banging them in for fun, surely 1 in contention instead of Saurez having 2....

You do realise Leicester aren't in the Premier League this season don't you?

Ok smarty pants , didn't realise it was prem goals only, still, my point still stands!

 

[gmckennasell]

dont know why anyone takes any notice of spock eared mills , he was a shite player , who stole money from our club for years , his opinion is irrelevant ,

Mark Halsey said that it was 100% a goal.

Offside should just be offside.
