Spurs Vs City Post match thread.

Still don't get it. You'd then have to argue that every player who gets brought down in the area is potentially going to get a shot in on goal. Yet penalties are awarded without the card following.

I think if he's the last man yes. Otherwise its a yellow, depending on the incident.

OK, this I follow. The last man argument is fair enough. Although strictly speaking, the last man is the keeper, unless he's totally out of position. And the keeper might have saved the shot.

no it isn't, last man is irrelevant, it's purely down to whether Dzeko had a clear chance to shoot on goal, which he did.

However from what I saw yesterday I think it's ridiculous to give that as a penalty, as sometimes you have to inevitably make contact when winning the ball, which he did first.

I didn't think it was a pen last night but I'll watch it again later and really scrutinize it.

It isn't a penalty unless the player continues to hold on to the ball after he has caught it. Personally, and I agree with michael owen on this, I think the defender dropped the ball quickly enough for it to not be a handball. :)

Wait a minute. No player holds on to the ball after catching it, ever, unless he's the keeper! I've never, ever seen that. Think about the penalty that was given against Micah two seasons back in the League Cup semi-final at Anfield. It still rankles with me. The Liverpool player — I forget who it was — blasts the ball directly at Micah's face from about four yards. Micah's face, unfortunately for him, happened to be between the goal and the ball. Micah puts his hand up in front of his face, naturally enough, and it's a fucking penalty! And Liverpool go on to win the tie.

Pssst...... I think he is taking the piss through the medium or sarcasm mate.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, we need a "sarcasm font" on here. Comic sans, perhaps?

spuds arse toon and dipper fans have all moaned like ten bob whores over the last few weeks , what they appear to overlook is that their teams have been absolutely battered before any so called controversial decisions , in fact if we had taken just 25% of the chances we have created against these clowns our goals for column would be over a 100 , they should count their blessings we dont get angry , and leave them traumatised for life.

We need to keep on playing like that for the rest of the season, and the title could well be on its way to the Etithad. Will need to pick up points from the away game sat Liverpool, Arsenal, and the theatre of dreamers. If we can pick up 5 points from that lot I will be happy, a win and 2 draws will see going along way to bring back the title to the Etithad once again.

Ok,ok, hands up! Sarcasm radar off today. But serious question: did Owen really say that?

The law states "denying a clear goal scoring opportunity".

Rose did that last night, hence the red card.

Back to the match in which we cheated Spurs and got lucky.....

21 shots, 10 on target, 656 passes and 66$ possession.

All helps with FFP i suppose..........

Great game by us last night, that first 25 minutes or so was probably the most devastating I've seen us play, we could of had at least 5 and they looked shellshocked with what they were seeing. I thought the Aguero injury might of unsettled us but it didn't seem to make any difference, 4 goals away from home with no beast and Aguero injured is mental. Jovetic I thought looked brilliant, if he gets some gametime he's going to be a fantastic player for us, Dzeko I thought had an alright game but he missed far too many chances and should of had a few in the net, got his goal though which is the most important thing. It was a great team performance last night and the only thing now is we have to wait on Aguero and hope that it isn't something big, he tweeted last night that it was just a precaution but lets hope no damage was done.

No but he said "not for me" about three times after watching the defender pretty much catch the ball on the replay. But then he is an utter cock.
