Sergio Aguero - 2016/17 performances

[Cambo]

That is absolute bullshit.

What is....the fact Aguero had a "shot" or the point being made. I don't make the rules...if the shot was on target then even though it is deflected it counts as a goal. An OG is if the shot was not on target and is deflected in.

Nope still wrong.

"In association football, an own goal occurs when a player causes the ball to go into his or her own team's goal, resulting in a goal being scored for the opposition.

The fact that the defending player touches the ball last does not automatically mean that the goal is recorded as an own goal. Only if the ball would not have gone past the goal-line but for the defending player would an own goal be credited."

You cannot say definitively the ball would have gone in if the defender had not touched it. The Keeper "could" have saved it. Thus it is not an example of a global conspiracy to call it an own goal. It was a judgement call and the call was made. To suggest that it is a nefarious plot by the media is silly.

Hummm? Not sure about this, if that were the case, then every ball that hits a defending player, that subsequently crosses the line would be an own goal, because, in your words...

"The Keeper "could" have saved it."

But we know that is not the case, from the god that is Wikipedia....

The fact that the defending player touches the ball last does not automatically mean that the goal is recorded as an own goal. Only if the ball would not have gone past the goal-line but for the defending player would an own goal be credited. Thus a shot which is already "on target" would not be an own goal even if deflected by the defender. In this case the attacker is awarded the goal, even if the shot would have otherwise been easily saved by the goalkeeper.

This is a massive gamble and a big fuckoff to Sergio if true.

It is
But it's looking like he's on the bench tonight

I've heard from a reliable source that he'll start from the bench tomight with kdb/sterling playing as the false 9.

I would say only if the keeper is actually in a position to save it which he was on the weekend.

The larger point that I am trying to make is WHO CARES? It was a goal. We won. Own goals are always debateable, but to immediately say that if we are awarded an own goal it is because of some conspiracy against City is pathetic and the fans need to get past this small club thinking.

I agree, for once I don't see the malign influence of the illuminati

The refereeing for the Chelsea and Burnley game however, is definitely down to the lizard people and the Masons, and probably the Dagenham Girl Pipers as well :-)
