Stuart Elliott scored a better goal then Rooneys and Beckhams put together. It was in his own half, back to goal, controlled the ball on his head, then lobbed the keeper. He also did a somersault which Rooney didn't.
It was an excellent game of football. Loving Forest's demise. Half of me wants Daivies to get the sack because he's an odious toerag but I'm loving this too much.
Commentary "Well inside his own half." It's bang on the halfway line! Great goal obviously but I did think that was a weird thing to say. I know I was at that game but can't remember it very well. I thought Gudjohnsen's goal was a result of Myhill being high up the pitch while we were chasing a goal. Clearly I made that up.
plus he netted the winner.. it was a great performance but do we need to remind you of Mr Koren? can't wait for next season Nige vs Brucie bring it on..
What ever the reasons, the quality of football on display by both sides was the best advert the Championship has had this season, it was like watching a Sunday league game at times the way players just tried random stupid things for no reason. I spent half the game laughing at how oblivious to events around the players on both sides were. McGregor shouting at the ball boy to hurry up and give him the ball when he'd already returned it was a particularly good example of it, as were the numerous "air kicks" by players yards away from the ball, didn't Davies even injure himself doing one of them in the first half? On a more unfortunate but equally comical moment, Jelavic's shot coming off the defender's knee and smashing him in the face so hard it flattened him was amusing as well. I doubt I'd have been as amused if we'd been on the losing end of the scoreline. I don't see how we can be accused of defending diving either (other posts obviously), we've said it wasn't a pen because he fell over. I guess MOTD didn't show Elmo going down with his facial injury with our fans telling the soft tart to get up rather than appealing for the foul, or Koren falling over onto the ball later in the game getting the same from our fans when he tried claiming the free kick.
Jesus ****ing Christ how many penalties have you had? In fairness most are genuine, but there are a few dives. Drinkwaters was absolutely ludicrous.
I've just watched the West Ham v Man Utd game and all the news and reports I saw last night said Rooney scored a '45 yard volley'. How was it a volley? It bounced TWICE before he hit it. Ive seen this a few times this season, when did the word volley become so misused?
How embarrassing was that? Because he failed to get a freekick, he then dramtically 'worsened' the extent of his 'injury' so that play had to stop and he could get up and get back in position.
I thought a volley was ball flying through the air, you kick it before it hits the floor. Half volley was ball flying through the air, and at the point it hits the floor you kick it. Anything else is not a volley.
