Don't recall the buck toothed diver getting booked for ungentlemanly conduct either..

That passage of play sums the rags up completely..

The Portuguese **** knows the rules regarding a drop ball but still took it upon himself to chance his arm and basically cheat to get on level terms because they weren't good enough in open play despite having in excess of £350 million pounds worth of players on the pitch.

Do you think if fatso Moss had given the goal, the rags team would have stepped aside and let West Ham walk a goal in to regain their lead..


Not a fkin chance..!


Horrible club with the morals to match..

Superb time wasting from the rat

I'm still amazed fatty Moss didn't 'do a Brighton' as iffy rag goals are now known in my circle and allow that to count.

Especially as no one actually knows what that rule is. Does the team getting the drop ball have to touch the ball first? If so, West Ham could have just left the ball and run the clock out.

If they don’t, how long does a team have to wait before challenging for the ball?

As you say, he could have given the goal and no one would have known better at the time.

EDIT

Dropped ball

PROCEDURE

• The ball is dropped for the defending team goalkeeper in their penalty area if, when play was stopped:
  • the ball was in the penalty area or
  • the last touch of the ball was in the penalty area
• In all other cases, the referee drops the ball for one player of the team that last touched the ball at the position where it last touched a player, an outside agent or, as outlined in Law 9.1, a match official
• All other players (of both teams) must remain at least 4 m (4.5 yds) from the ball until it is in play

The ball is in play when it touches the ground.

Seems like Moss could have given the goal.

Jesus how gutted will he be. Probably put him off his meal for 3 takeaway after the match.

2 of the rags were not 4m away though when it was dropped.

 

[Bill Walker]

Raz would've missed that

It says both teams too, which can’t be right for that type of dropped ball

I was in the West Ham end last night (nice few renditions of 'your city is blue' going) and can confirm that yes, Old Trafford is still a swamp.

Can you confirm the empty seats situation, especially the 3rd tiers

Decent enough attendance, still a fair few empty seats dotted about but I'm not really obsessed with attendances, unlike some rival fans. I will say that their atmosphere was fucking dreadful.
