Barclays Premier League: Round 10

quote Kesh

If Gomes thought it was a freekick why did he put the ball 12 yards ahead of where Nani handled it?

Just thought I'd throw that in there.

quote Wario619

Also, why didn't he take the "free-kick" straight away? Instead he rolled the ball out and stood there like a plonker.

quote Man Utd Fan 123

I can understand why the Spurs fans are frustrated, but I hate this business of it being worse 'cos its at Old Trafford, we don't ask for it, if the refs bottle it against us that's not our problem. Just makes fans more hated for nothing we do at all.

quote High Road

quote arwelt

just seen it and what annoys me the most is how he celebrates as if hes scored an amazing goal

I wasn't awear you had to score a good goal to celebrate

quote Man Utd Fan 123

The lino just nodding and saying I Know is useless. He never once put the flag up until about 5 seconds after we scored and Gomes went running over to him, made him look more of a tit than Clattenburg.

quote Johnny Boi

quote jimbo_bwfc

An advantage suggests that there was an advantage by not stopping play.

.. and that there was in this case. Gomes has the ball in his hands and is running away from where the incident took place, how can that not be an advantage lol? He can launch a counter attack from here with a long throw and plenty of United players are out of position for the counter, he has more opportunity to launch a counter than he would have from a free kick back on his own goal line.

Advantage is played at the referee's discretion and just because Gomes messed up doesn't mean the play should be called back if advantage has already been played. It parallels to a striker missing the target then wanting the play called back for a free kick. Advantage had been played by Clattenburg, he told both the linesman and Redknapp this.

quote Cashis

The celebration was disgusting lol

quote Man Utd Fan 123

Tevez went running off at Gary Neville and Fergie last year when he scored just a penalty but it didn't bother me.

quote

Nani had just wrapped up a game which was 1-0 and incredibly close with 5 minutes to go, he's allowed to celebrate how he likes.

quote Man Utd Fan 123

And I say Nani could celebrate because he'd just wrapped up a very tight game which every player on that pitch for us knew was nowhere near over, if it had already been 4-0 I highly doubt he'd have celebrated the same.

quote viva fergie

quote Cashis

Nah I'd say celebrating like that after you've scored an open net tap in is a bit petty tbh

I didn't know that the type of goal you score, dictates how you can celebrate.

quote The Realest

quote DjedwardSmith

If it was Arshavin. He'd have just walked off with a smile on his face, almost looking embarrassed.

Tbh, he would probably do his silly 'shooshing' the fans celebration, so you can't really use Arshavin

And I remember when Gerrard scored that shit poorly defended free kick against us earlier in the season and he run off and kissed the camera, everyone was defending him saying he can celebrate how he wants, and now everyone seems to have changed their opinion on the subject because its Nani.

quote

I mean he probably did over-do it on the celebrating for a tap in goal. But he is having his best season for us so far, proving all the doubters wrong, and he just wrapped up a 2-0 win against another top 4 team knowing that we have given away leads lots of times this season. I think people are being harsher because they don't like Nani.
