terry gibson is reason our national team is so crap
To suggest that Celta Vigo are a Dog & Duck team is certainly disrespectful. They are a very decent team and gave as good as they got for an hour. They are a top half team that won the return fixture 4-1 earlier in the season, so there was a score to settle. As for Neymar - do you really think he wouldn't showboat against the Billionaire Boys Club? He did so in the 4-0 hammering of Real in November at the Bernabeu.
Suarez was marginally in the D for sure. Look at an penalty taken in any game this weekend and see if you can find one where that isn't the case. If there was a retake for every bit of encroachment every penalty would take 20 minutes to complete. Why not just enjoy a bit of special skill, we see little enough of it in the Premier League, let alone Div.3.

A two-man penalty, or "tap" penalty, occurs when the penalty-taker, instead of shooting to score a goal, taps the ball slightly forward so that a team-mate can run on to it.<snip>

I see no reason why two men should not be allowed to be involved in taking a penalty, provided the defending team can place two goal-keepers in the net.
You know, that dog and duck team that beat this Barcelona team 4-1 just four months ago...
Ignorance at its finest. Neymar reminds me of that other disrespectful Brazilian... You know that Ronaldinho guy, who lit up world football for a few years with a smile on his face. So disrespectful...
Or what is to stop the goalkeeper wearing a huge pair of gloves that block most of the goal for the penalty nothing in the rules but it doesn't make it right.

Maybe two foam fingers. That might work.
are you stupid?
the penalty pass is IN the rules. its not something they have done and got away with because no written law to stop it. big gloves lmao
and ronaldhino had a go in italy when he was alot lot older. neymar is only 23 or something
Stick Kenny Everetts Brother Lee Love on the line. :-o
This so-called lack of quality outside the top teams is true of all top leagues, especially the Premier League. There is an incredible amount of rubbish touting their trade here every week. La Liga is streets ahead in terms of quality, and certainly in entertainment. And, yes, I've seen quite a few games over there as well as watching it on TV.I was being a bit harsh on Vigo I was more trying to say that they were missing a few first teamers on the day and they did keep them out which was making me a bit twitchy as i had Barca by more than 4. I watch a reasonable amount of Spanish football and think there is a lack of quality outside of the top 3 clubs and some dreadful decisions go against the smaller sides.
I can't wait to see Neymar when he comes out of hidinginto the premier league when Pep starts spending the oil money.
I think before we stamp on this as ungentlemanly conduct or disrespectful...let us stamp out things that are just that but outside of the rules. Like nicking 5-10yds on throw - ins & free-kicks, diving, feigning injury, shirt pulling...
...onwards & upwards PUSB
Yeah because it's a deception, much like the Donkey kick was deemed and outlawed.Was he in the D?
Are people actually outraged about it?
Haha irony is massive.deception lol
goals are pretty nasty when you think about it. and wins.
0-0 draws are what football should be about. very sporting!
The one that really winds me up is when players throw themselves to the floor after the slightest contact that would not floor an excited toddler. Then players, managers and pundits justify it by saying that "He felt the contact so he was entitled to go down." Entitled? Football is a contact sport so when did a slight brush of the shirt become a penalty offence?time wasting, blocking the player off so the ball can go out for a goal kick it used to be the last couple of yards now it starts at the 18 yard box,the length of time it takes to make a substitution. The new head of FIFA should be busy with all this but if he is anything like the last one he will be too busy feathering his own nest and that of his family.
Haha irony is massive.
What if you were a GK?

Football has become an inherently dishonest game with managers encouraging players to manipulate the rules and con referees. The law-makers have just made it worse by tinkering with interpretations so nobody knows what is right any more. This, of course, helps referees in a way as they can justify any decision whichever way it went. Just as well when you see the standard of some of the referees at our level, I suppose.
Agree, if Ronaldo passed it to Benzema it would be slated as arrogant, messi does it "isn't the little genius wonderful!"
For the love of god will someone think about the goalkeepers?!
Here's a scenario.For the love of god will someone think about the goalkeepers?!
Here's a scenario.
CCFC at Wembley in the Play off Final.,the opposition do the same as Barca and win promotion as a result.
Will we sit there sniggering and saying fair play, that's a wicked rule. That was so skillful.
Before the witty retorts fly in, we're going up auto's, the GK is shit at pens anyway and wouldn't save it, or the opposite etc etc.
It's a shitty rule.
You get what I'm saying and rules change,think of our donkey kick, it was smart but then outlawed,for, ungentlemanly conduct I think.this is the thing though wingy. no self respecting fan should cry foul because the other team outsmarted them
it wouldnt matter to me how the goal was scored as long as not via cheating(handball) or mistake(ball didnt cross line) etc
