I've seen it a few times over the yearsAm I the only one who doesn’t think this is original. I’m sure yakubu did it for Everton 10+ years ago for example
I've not seen Yauku do it, but a German team definitely did it in recent years.Am I the only one who doesn’t think this is original. I’m sure yakubu did it for Everton 10+ years ago for example
Yeah can't take that away from him even if I don't agree with the way he got thereWhat a finish by the way.
I also thought that, same with a free kick. Might be wrong like.Saw this in Teesborough League 20 year ago. Pretty sure the ball has to travel one circumference before anyone from same team can touch it.
That used to be the law but it was changed for some reason. I don't know why because it makes sense for the ball to be seen to be in play.Saw this in Teesborough League 20 year ago. Pretty sure the ball has to travel one circumference before anyone from same team can touch it.
Again, blatant deceit. It's not like they are trying to catch Chelsea napping, the whole routine relies on putting the ball in play and pretending they haven't. Unsportsmanlike conduct in my opinion.Rooney did it. Short to Giggs, crossed it to Ronaldo to head in. Was disallowed because the linesman hadn't noticed Rooney take it (it did leave the D).
That sort of thing can cause a mass brawl in Sunday leagueplayed in a match against Grangetown Boys Club in the Cleveland league and they kept doing that. Took the ref to task at half time as ball has to roll its circumference to be in play, he stopped them in the second half.
I have no problem with using deceit to trick the opposition within the rules. It's similar I suppose to those fake run into each other taking a free kick routines. Or taking a quick free kick. Diving, cheating etc I will agree with you but defenders being penalised because they aren't paying full attention is fair game.Again, blatant deceit.

I'd put it in the same bracket as not returning the ball to the opposition when they've put it out for an injury personally.
Could you not do something similar taking a penalty?
Pretend that you're going to hit it but stumble just as your foot makes contact with the ball. Make sure you still make enough contact with the ball so that it moves towards the goal, but not so that it's near the goalkeeper, and then run onto it and score.
Or would it be considered a 'foul penalty', in the same way as a 'foul throw'?
Yeah, of course.I have no problem with using deceit to trick the opposition within the rules. It's similar I suppose to those fake run into each other taking a free kick routines. Or taking a quick free kick. Diving, cheating etc I will agree with you but defenders being penalised because they aren't paying full attention is fair game.
It is risk v reward as well. There's no guarantee this works and as someone said above they've been caught red-handed and the defending team have been able to run away with it etc.
This is allowed but it doesn't always go to plan...
