Sunday league referring again, how does he not spot De Gea down and stop the game. 

Head injury gets the game stopped. Chipped nail varnish doesn’t

Why should they do that for the integrity of the game? 

Just the right thing to do

Have you never rolled an ankle? It can hurt like a bitch for a couple of minutes but quickly become comfortable

I think he can stay on his feet to see out the corner situation then go down. Yes it might hurt but as a goal keeper he should be going down as a last resort. 

[Brooksy]

I hope we never kick the ball out when an opposing player is down again.

[Brainy]

Of course the goal should stand, but really it's shite sportsmanship from Arsenal.

TBH probably Rob Green talking as a keeper.

 

Maybe it was more the time to give it that surprised them.

Didn't Arsenal score against your team with some bad sportsmanship also? I remember Ranieri not being happy.

The right thing would be for the keeper to get back on his feet. He needs to take responsibility for that. To busy looking for a foul. Absolutely no need for him to be rolling around like he has lost a limb.

Yes. If ref spotted him on ground and blew before ball crossed line it would be no goal

Okay so my next question applies. What's stopping teams just cropping (or pretending to crop) their own keepers, get them rolling on the ground during an opposition attack? Any other player is injured at that point no way the ref blows until the move is over. 

[Mike Oxlong]

I’d be coaching Kasper to go down like he’s been shot on every opposition corner if that goal had been disallowed. Best way for us to prevent a goal against

It is not a foul and it’s not even by Arsenal.

It’s just a sporting thing to do. You know like we gave Forest a goal in the rearranged League Cup game. We saw Leeds give Villa a goal back that time, it’s just the decent thing to do
 

Atkinson clearly wanted to stop play cos that’s what you do when the goalkeeper is out of the game. It’s very different to any other player going down. Just give the goal back and pretend none of it happened

[ian__marshall]

Arteta needs to take a long look in the mirror after that. Awful sportsmanship especially after what happened in the Watford game the other week. How can any manager be pleased with a goal like that and what message does it send to his player's. 

 

From the refs perspective it was the correct decision but it's really poor play from Arsenal.

So what? The rules don't allow for the ref to stop the game for an injury unless it's a head injury;  certainly not for a non-serious injury.

[Corky]

Haven't seen it (heard it on the radio) and if he hasn't blown then goal should be given if it's not a foul or a head injury. Otherwise you'd expect teams to take their own keeper out and get the game stopped.

 

Yes we'd probably be annoyed but was there a genuine reason for the goal to be disallowed?

Maybe it's something the city should look at.

Yes and there was a foul too.

 

They didn't give the ball back after an injury but probably didn't help us that the player involved got up so they just carried on.

 

No wonder Chelsea get so many injuries - they seemed to be badly hurt after every tackle or time we touched them!

if that was us we'd politely say "oh sorry we'll let you have one back"

2 for the inconvenience you mean

[PhillippaT]

If the ref didn't blow in time, tough cookies  

[Guest Lako42]

**** me you've gone soft. 

 

Perfectly fine goal 

[Hoopla10]

How's that not a foul? If ManU scored then that would have been funny. 

[Langston]

Someone standing on your foot doesn't make you roll about like a pig in shit. We've all played 5 a side, we all grimace and try to carry on.

 

Arsenal have done sod all wrong there.

Blow the whistle no one moans.

 

 

So what if De Gea is down?

Wasnt a foul was it?

We always moan about players rolling around and feigning injury to get free kicks, good on the ref for carrying on.

Theres no rule?

The outrage on here if that happened against us would be unreal. Everybody would say Arsenal are cheating again. It’s not as if Arsenal earned that goal, anyone would have saved that. 

[RowlattsFox]

You don't disallow goals because a defender is down injured so why a goal keeper? It's just a freak situation. 

 

You disallow that you will have keepers going down even more than they do already. 

[Bert]

I don’t think anyone is disputing the awarding of the goal 

[Number 6]

If you don't give it then what is to stop people getting a defender to tread on the keepers toe every time they're defending a corner? Got absolutely no problem with that goal at all.
