Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [14th - 19th August 2015]

Pretty poor half from both sides. Poor passing, poor possession and the less said about Rooney the better.

Utd were great for about 10 minutes around the time of the goal (own goal, deflection was quite big? Januzaj deserves it though) - before and after that pretty dire

Big difference between Chelsea /City and us is right there - they are more merciless right after they score, even if they then sit back again after a few minutes - Utd backed off straight away seemingly trying to hold onto a 1 goal lead (and looked quite shakey at a few points)
 
It wasn't an own goal really, I think it has to be far more significant for that.

As a general rule, if it's on target to start with then it isn't given as an own goal.

As for the penalty claim, it could have been given but that sort of thing happens a lot and the ridiculous dive made it look worse than it was. :p

Tricky one, I don't think it was getting past Guzan without it but it's still not an OG. Pretty sure it has to be off target for it to be given as an OG?

He was going for the ball :confused:
 
I didn't say that, I was commenting on the dive part...

Yeah, and that made it look as if it was a result of Darmian holding him round the neck, when he wasn't really.

I'm not saying holding people (anywhere) is a good idea in the area, but everyone does it and the ref's don't seem to care.
