Sunderland fan here lads! From an outside point of view, suarez is a disgrace to football, i have just had to explain to my 5 year old daughter why cheating is not right even if you do score! That my friends was cheating! End of! And marriner and co want shooting
Right, Ian Darke has spoken so he must be a cheat. Look at his reaction again - he looks startled the ball has hit his hand, then sticks it it and looks at the lino expecting the whistle. Do you really expect him to say' 'nah, it hit my hand there...' And this is the same commentator who was insisting that when that back-heel flew up off Jones and hit Allen on the line it was a penalty.
It's honored to his daughter, so I don't see why he should off, personally. To be honest, I would of preferred the goal be ruled out. The media are going to lap this up, whether it was deliberate or not.
Technically he didn't try to score with it, IF it was deliberate it was to control the ball.. didn't try and punch it in.
I've no idea if it was deliberate hand ball or not... ... His arm was clearly away from his body though when it hit the ball. Isn't that Handball by the rules? Handball is one of those calls like offside... seems to be the ref can interpret it however he likes- no consistently. Don't know if officials saw it or not though. That goal has ruined the game for me. Will take the shine off the win (assuming we will win.. which we should). Not that this game has been any centre-piece of good football.
He always kisses his wrist like that and TBH I dont think he could do much about It not like he moved his hand to It?
Yeah I know it it, he's got a tattoo of her name there hasn't he? Was just saying, maybe it wasn't the best time to kiss his hand
judging by his reaction, it seems accidental. Still a shame for mansfield who were doing quite well until that point.
If you look at the way he kicked the ball into the net it looked as if he thought the ref had seen the ball hit his hand (it happened far too quickly for him to deliberately control it with his hand) and then when he saw that it wasn't disallowed he celebrated quietly with the kiss of his daughters name on his wrist. Ridiculous that people are even outraged at this and the **** stirring commentator is really not helping. Btw even if it was deliberate, which it wasn't, its up to the refs to spot these things. Let us not forget we are competing for the chance to win the FA cup here, we are not competing for the 2013 fairplay award.
Thiery Henry Noteworthy Agree clear handball agree was deliberate, but not only person to do it, nor will be last but he will certainly be vilified for it for than anyone else, when do commentators use the word cheat in such a derogatory manor.
You wouldn't think about that in the heat of the moment. You can tell he's a bit confused about it. The ball did hit his hand but his hand was dropping before the ball struck it, not intentional at all. If the ref doesn't give it, as a striker you're going to assume that the referee thought it was unintentional. Then you do your traditional celebration, and the BBC collectively gets a hard on from the "controversial" striker.
