(Not wanting to trigger a rant here, but am I the only one to notice Terry's elbow in the keeper's face?)

and his arm
across the keepers shoulders preventing him from jumping.

Fair Play indeed

Watch the video
that's not what happened.

Doesn't matter anyway, if we were capable of increasing a one goal lead it wouldn't have got that bloody far.

yous were played off the field
and it was what happened, it may not have been malicious but it was a foul
( the art of xen Missing John Martyn RIP, Fri 25 Jun 2004, 10:58, archived)

It wasn't a foul,
the keeper ran into him. He was on the ground a few seconds before that shot.

That's a good point.
We shouldn't have had to rely on an 18 year old to carry the team.

I know I'm from Norn Iron
but I spent the first 6 years of my life in England and married an Englishman so I can't help feeling a little bit English.

I see it,
I saw it last night from the 500 camera angles, at normal speed, slo-mo, super slo-mo, and super duper slo-mo.

IT WAS A FOUL!

Get over it.

if someone
is jumping in the air, and you run into them, you're likely to get some part of their body in your face. In this case, it was an elbow.

the thing that bothers me more
is that this is just what the game is. That's fine. The referee makes judgements, the game continues. I think it's a real shame that it ended up that way, but it's a tough game. People seem to be forgetting that.

He jumped INTO Terry !
*grumble*
It's a good enough goal..
( Jam Master Geordie Hero of B3ta., Fri 25 Jun 2004, 10:57, archived)

ANYWAY ...
Speaking theoretically, is it legal for one player to jump on a team-mate's back, to gain a height advantage? If so, I'm surprised this isn't a commonly-used tactic.
( 0% Interest was. Now isn't., Fri 25 Jun 2004, 10:59, archived)

It is legal..
I've often thought of that trick also..

GKs
We all know Goalkeepers are massively over protected these days on the football pitch. I have saw goals chopped of for even less contact on a keeper, so staying with current trend of if you touch the keeper its a foul then last nights incident is obviously a foul.

If it was down the other end this argument wouldnt be happening.
