0% Villa: Liverpool's goal today

[wozwebs]

Just flicking round the grounds on my foreign dish, got 3 live games on in HD. Liverpool have just scored a goal that MOTD and TalkShite will be talking about for ages to come.

Sunderland are awarded a free kick midway through their own half. All players head up to the Liverpool penalty area. One Sunderland player taps the balk slightly towered his keeper so he can take it. Ball doesn't move very far, Dirk Kuyt pounces on it, runs on and Liverpool score. Nobody can believe it and the referee allows the goal. Bizarre. Stuart Atwell will get some grief for it im sure 

Reminded me of the Andy Dimble, Gary Crosby header out the hand when nobody though it would count.

Liverpool get more off referees than any other team. Manure included.

Something happens everytime Stuart Atwell referees a game, how does he still get appointed?

[wozwebs]

I'd say after this he might not again

[UK Redsox]

If the ball's stationery in the correct spot of the free kick and a player touches it with his foot then as far as I'm concerned its been taken.

Therefore, without having seen the video yet, the goal sounds OK to me. Its an error by Sunderland not by the ref

[olaftab]

If he did not  say wait for the whistle and ball rolled enough than I don't see what's wrong?

[The Man With A Stick]

Had Attwell already blown the whistle?

[Blackcountry Villa]

No, he blew after he tapped it apparantly.

the whistle had been blown according to collymore, so he had taken the free kick. well done kuyt. refs done nothing wrong. apparently thier keeper could have got the ball  but did'nt play to the whistle and stopped.

its steve bruce i feel sorry for

Because of the goal or for having a head the same size as a breadbin?

There was nothing wrong with that Crosby goal, the keeper obviously didn't have full control of the ball otherwise Crosby couldn't have nodded it out of his hand, thats why keepers are supposed to do what they do in panto and look behind them. Havn't seen todays yet, if the ref blew then it's a goal - if he didn't blow and allowed the goal it's a messy one.

Watching on Norweigen channels. PL TV, uses Football Firs English commentary. Albion has Trevor 'fucking' Francis on.
