Fair play FAIL

What an idiot.

Unfortunately his right to do so...

 

I agree. The moment you dish out punishment, then it's no longer an unwritten rule.

 

Disappointed that Lusescu didn't haul him off but instead let him stay on and get two more goals. Also they could have let FCN get a goal but only half the Shaktar team wanted to do that. Not really useful ;)

It would never have happened if the guy in red hadn't made such a meal of being run in to. He didn't have to go down holding his face... Hardly got touched.

 

So you think the goal was fair enough? That Luiz Adriano made a quick assessment of the situation and decided that there was too little contact in the previous incident to follow fair play rules? Interesting... :)

Didn't Shaktar have the ball when the bloke made a meal of it? ..therefore why give possession back to the other team?

 

Fair enough if you were right. As it happens, FCN were in possession when the ref stopped play. Look 2 seconds into the video clip...

Didn't the same thing happen in an Arsenal Cup game against Sheff U perhaps. Instead of the ball being given back to Sheffield Utd Kanu used it to score with. After a big kerfuffle the game was replayed.

 

I remember that. Pretty sure it was one of his first games and he wasn't sure of the 'gentlemen's agreement' between teams.

 

Didn't Arsenal let Utd score direct fromthe restart to balance it out? Or was that another game?

It was in '99 and the game was replayed:

 

 

One of the most controversial incidents in FA Cup history sees this fifth round result in 1998-99 effectively count for nothing as a replay is arranged (following an offer by Arsenal) due to the furore surrounding Arsenal's late winner. Kanu marks his arrival to English football by setting up Marc Overmars to score rather than returning the ball to Sheffield United, who had kicked the ball for a throw-in out owing to an injury.

 

The replayed game at Highbury would end with Arsenal again winning 2-1!
