I've seen that, still not convinced its deliberate, the decision is right, no goal, but intentional or accident ? Can't see any reason for it being intentional, it was going in anyway, in fact it would probably have gone in even if he hadn't got his head to it, but he was desperate to score another, a great sign.pudge said:It's the flick of his hand which makes it look rather deliberate. I reckon he's just reacted to missing/scuffing it with his head, a yellow is about right.cleavers said:A link would be useful but if neither sky or bbc have it I suspect you'll be struggling, I just can't see why he would deliberately handle the ball when it was clearly going in anyway, it certainly touched his hand, so rightly disallowed, but should never be a booking.remember arthur mann said:Have you seen the camera shot from behind the goal, which Sky and the beeb haven't ?

Should start with Mangala winning it, it was great one touch football from there. A brilliant team goal.chicagoblues said:Anyone got GIF of interplay between Nasri and Silva's build up to Milner's goal?
Like I said, he's probably just reacted to missing it with his head. It was going in regardless of whether he touched it but as a striker he wants the goal (as shown by him trying to head it in). He's gone for it, fluffed his lines and reacted by flicking it in with his hand; acted on instinct to an extent.cleavers said:I've seen that, still not convinced its deliberate, the decision is right, no goal, but intentional or accident ?

Posted a vine of it in Nasri's thread, I'm too lazy to go get it.chicagoblues said:Anyone got GIF of interplay between Nasri and Silva's build up to Milner's goal?
He doesn't miss it with his head though, he gets a slight glance with his head, so I don't understand why he would then deliberately handle it, it hits his hand, so I've no problem with no goal, but its not a booking.pudge said:Like I said, he's probably just reacted to missing it with his head.

He may not have thought it out well in advance but he's had a rush of blood to the head, silly but it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things now.
I don't think it's a case of his hand was just there beside his head, he's missed it and it's conveniently hit off his hand. Rather he's flicked it in instinctively after fluffing his header. As such he's tried to gain the ultimate advantage, a goal, so a yellow is fair enough.
Agree to disagree, I think it's clear he's moved his arm and hand up to hit the ball.cleavers said:He doesn't miss it with his head though, he gets a slight glance with his head, so I don't understand why he would then deliberately handle it, it hits his hand, so I've no problem with no goal, but its not a booking.pudge said:Like I said, he's probably just reacted to missing it with his head.

Agreed. Love to see the entire sequence build up.cleavers said:Should start with Mangala winning it, it was great one touch football from there. A brilliant team goal.chicagoblues said:Anyone got GIF of interplay between Nasri and Silva's build up to Milner's goal?
