There isn't a law that I'm aware of that says stop play if the GK is down to be fair. Its dirty tho...dont like it myself. Radio said the ref blew his whistle so...God knows

He was moving the whistle towards his mouth, but didn't blow it.

All just very unfortunate really, annoying as it is. Plenty of time left at least.

 

[Trusty]

injured by your OWN player

By his own player…

It's an accident. There was no keeper in the net, its just a bit rubbish

 

[fez]

Disallow that goal and you'll end up watching players foul their own keepers during corners and free kicks every single week.

Hell i'd kick myself if I had to.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Exactly. Had the attack broke down then you can stop play but you can't do it in the middle of an attack.

Imagine Burnley and Dyke thinking they could use that tactic, their keepers would all go on strike

 

[The_One]

Imagine Burnley and Dyke thinking they could use that tactic, their keepers would all go on strike

Dyke was watching with intrigue hoping it would be disallowed for this reason

Imagine Burnley and Dyke thinking they could use that tactic, their keepers would all go on strike

You could just imagine keepers accidentally twisting their ankles every time the opposition are 1 on 1 with them.

 

[shipinabottle]

Don't know what anyone is on about here in terms of sporting.

You blow the whistle as the keepers injured by his own player and keepers will be flopping around every corner by next week.

Did DDG go off injured?

 

[explicit4u]

Did DDG go off injured?

nope, collapsed on the line Peter Griffin style.

 

[jonneymendoza]

Did DDG go off injured?

Nope.

That was a goal all day long

 

[fez]

I think people are overreacting on both sides of this. The right decision was made but if they had disallowed that we wouldn't have seen that turn into a legitimate tactic to prevent a goal. The fact it was such a bizarre situation points to how rare it is.

Correct decision. Bad luck. Lots of the game to play still.

 

[adam cool dude]

Scoreline is completely against the run of play.

 

[jonneymendoza]

So we're punished because the ref doesn't blow the whistle with the goalkeeper down? Fun.

Was it a head injury?

 

[bayo000]

This. Just need to get on with it now

The ref was going to blow then saw the ball getting striked. His instinct just like any human was to watch the strike so he pulled it away. He was almost like a deer in headlights.

Why was the ref raising his whistle then? Because if a GK is injured you stop play. We're literally 1-0 down because we've got **** refs.

 

[CliffyG]

Scoreline is completely against the run of play.

Don't be silly. Was very even early. Only last 5 United have had a bit more possession.

 

[BaZ87]

Had De Gea not been a massive tart then the situation would have been avoided.

 

[explicit4u]

Goal drama aside, this has been **** poor from both teams.

Is there anything in the rules that says you stop play if a keeper is injured? Had the ball been 50 yards from goal then I imagine the ref would have stopped play but you can't just stop play in the middle of an attack if it's not a serious injury or a foul.
