The Batman Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 For those of you that aint heard it yet, Pires scored one pen, then they had another one. He tried to pass it to Henry, just like Cryuff did for Holland ages ago. A Free kick to Man City was awarded, i think the law is being reformed by the FA this evening to determine what should happen when a pen is awarded.I aint seen it yet, waiting for Match Of The Day.Just Arsenal being cocky and arrogant again IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beg to differ.1-0 up you just want to kill the game off... What a moronic thing to do... But alas if it succeeded.I bet Pires won't be taking one again for a while!

The Man In Black Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 So what exactly happened then? The law says that all the ball has to do is go forwards at least the distance of the circumference (sp?), and not touched a second time by the kicker until another player has touched it.I haven't seen it yet so unaware the exact happenings edit: I see that the news article Danakin posted confirms exactly what I just said...

RedTauntonian Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Absolutely fricking stupid, if henry wanted to score why didn't he take the penalty him self!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Batman Posted October 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Absolutely fricking stupid, if henry wanted to score why didn't he take the penalty him self!!!!as i said in the post above, it is them being arrogant. I'd accept it if they were 3-0 up and top of the league, but they aint the dominent force in the premiership anymore. 1-0 against Man City when they aint even in a uefa cup place (yet) is just stupid. However, saying that, I still think that Henry is the best forward in the world (but that is another debate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loader_red Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Absolutely fricking stupid, if henry wanted to score why didn't he take the penalty him self!!!!It's called experimenting , nothing wrong with a bit of flair .........even if it doesn't come off....

Godzilla Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Shouldn't the penalty have been taken again for infringement?Henry was clearly in the area before Pires had touched the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinnionForEngland Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Shouldn't the penalty have been taken again for infringement?Henry was clearly in the area before Pires had touched the ball.In which case no, indirect free kick because it was an Arsenal offender not Man City.
