Quote Roddy B="Roddy B"I didn't really give a sh*t about Chelsea that day to be honest, I was more frustrated by my own team than your lot. It wasn't only Schwarzer time wasting, it was the majority of your team over nearly everything. Taking an age for throw ins, etc.. You won the match, fair play, but it wasn't through any type of tactical quality or game play. You don't plan for a player slipping, and that was the only time you entered our half.'"
Kalas should have scored from a free header from a corner a couple of minutes before Ba scored. We'd actually had the better chances in the first half, admittedly not much better than your meager efforts, but we were barely trying and you were supposedly on your way to a title win.
Quote Roddy BLet's be honest, he walked over and had a word. If the penalty taker walked over with the ball in his hand, went up to the 'keeper and said "it's going top right corner, you're not stopping it so don't even bother", I doubt very much anybody would be up in arms about it. Let's be honest, you're exaggerating what Krul done. He simply tried to talk them out of it, he didn't waste that much time, to be honest. '"
He was blatantly acting in a way to disrupt the Costa Rican penalty takers. He didn't do much, but he was utterly blatant about it and everyone knew what he was doing. The ref should have simply ordered him to his line to stop messing around.
The penalties at the 2012 CL final were clearly more important to me. During the shoot out Nauer was allowed to kick the ball to every approaching Chelsea player and the ref just let him do it. If Cech left his line the ref was ordering him instantly back onto his line.
IMO all refs should be clamping down on dodgy play just like he was with Cech. The fact Nauer was allowed to do what he did was startling.
Quote Roddy BI don't really know what this has to do with Liverpool, but I've seen something similar done by a Liverpool 'keeper before. Dudek in 2005 was dancing around like a nutter trying to put them off, again, I didn't see anything wrong with it.'"
I think keepers can do what the hell they want on the line. If the keeper wants to dance, let him dance. But the striker should be able to kick the kick when he wants then. If it's a 3 minute stare out, that's his choice. If he wants to run up 3 times before, that's okay. But it's not, is it?
I fully approved of Adebayor's ridiculous run up to his Europa League pen. It was brilliant. But not as brilliant as the fact he skied it. That was close to the most I've ever laughed in my life.
Quote Roddy BI said before, I'm a huge fan of the NBA and trash talking is huge in that game and I absolutely love it. It isn't really something I bring team bias into. I don't view it as time wasting, as a form of cheating or even something somebody should be booked for. He simply had a word with each player before the penalty, it was drama, not time wasting, cheating or taking the p*ss.'"
If the keeper steps out 12 yards from his line to do that is the striker allowed to knock the ball in because he was going for a walk? Or does the striker have to wait until he's back and ready?
If the Costa Rican players knocked the ball in when Krul was coming for a chat he'd have been screaming at the ref he wasn't ready.
Don't forget it's a free kick offence to say "My ball" when the game is in play because that could be used by an attacker pretending to be the keeper. I don't know the rules on trash talk, but I don't think the rules actually allow it. It goes on because there's 22 players and only one ref. But one keeper trash talking to a penalty taker right in front of him is probably against the rules.
