Euro 2008 Group C **Spoilers**

The ref said the player that was off the pitch was active and he was not injured, you need the referees permission to be off the pitch if you are not injured so thats why the goal stood.

the ref is blind....

That's one of the worst kop outs I've heard

 

[netby]

that hand of Gattuso in the face....
the ref is still blind.....

It's a point though, otherwise say, from a corner, defending players could stand by the posts then take a step back off the pitch, putting the other team offside - I imagine it's that kind of scenario which is why such a rule is in place?

 

[aslco]

He overreacted as far as I remember. That incident aside its not as if he's known for it, one of the more honest foreign players if you ask me.

When ruud won top goalscorer by a mile one seaosn due to all the pens, guess who also earnt all the penalties. As soon as you got rid of ruud you already had c.ronaldo

You should get yourself a whistle mate:

"A defender who leaves the field during the course of play and does not immediately return must still be considered in determining where the second to last defender is for the purpose of judging which attackers are in an offside position. Such a defender is considered to be on the touch line or goal line closest to his or her off-field position. A defender who leaves the field with the referee's permission (and who thus requires the referee's permission to return) is not included in determining offside position."

It was offside after all according to the rules

Got the season review on DVD from that season which I watched recently and I don't remember anything which stood out.

If you say he was that bad though i'll believe you until next time I watch it

Oooooh come on...

I hope these officials don't get another game in the competition... they have been awful.

Doesn't that quote state he wasn't offside unless I'm reading it incorrectly? It says the player off the field is to be considered on the goal line.

Italy starting to play 70 minutes too late

 

[nikebee]

Van Der Super-Star

 

[Shamikebab]

Was hoping to see Huntelaar

 

[weringo]

Another Kuyt assist

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Well played Kuyt

 

[Azza]

Woop woop

Gio, Gio, Gio!!!





Was expecting Kuyt to **** up then I must say.

 

[G|mp]

LoL @ Dirk, hes had a stormer of a game and then knackers up a 1on1

 

[Ripper]

Scratch that, 3-0.

Another good break, Kuyt made up for his crap shot.

 

[nikebee]

3-0

Dear, oh dear, oh dear...

Another good goal, Kuyt should have scored but it wasn't a fantastic ball to him though.

 

[triggerthat]

Oh dear..
