lookwhaticando Posted 30 October 2006 Posted 30 October 2006 I've watched the replay quite a few times now, and I'm trying to see if I can clearly see a handball. I can't. Perhaps it's because I can't zoom into the incident enough, or I can't see the exact frame in the video where the ball made contact... but each time I watch it, it looks as if the ball came off his head. I imagine it's a problem my end as none of the players seem to protest too much, so McAuley must have used his hand or they'd have spoken up about it much more. Oh well. Looks like he'll miss the Stoke match anyway.
davieG Posted 30 October 2006 Posted 30 October 2006 I wonder if we are appealing the red card. I'm sure when I first read RK's comments on the incident he was saying that McAuley had admitted he'd handled it and what an honest guy he was now it just says But the game turned on its head in the 68th minute when Gareth McAuley was adjudged to have handled inside his own area. Or did I just dream those original comments?
DanTheFoxBhoy Posted 30 October 2006 Posted 30 October 2006 I've watched it about 50 times, and it's hard to see. If you watch the path of the ball, there is no obvious deflection but just the hint of a nudge before his head gets to it. But the notion that it was done deliberately is ludicrous. If he hadn't have touched it, his head still would have gotten to the ball in time considering how slow it was going. It looks like he shot his hand out as it was obvious he'd need to fall to head the ball away. Penalty 50/50, red card was bullshit.
C-man Posted 30 October 2006 Posted 30 October 2006 Was definitely a handball. He almost got away with it, I think if it was at the Leicester fans end, he perhaps maybe could have got away with it. The referee was just applying the letter of the law by sending him off as well as awarding the penalty. Unlucky to be seen though By the way, can someone tell me how many City fans there were at QPR on saturday?
Guest Posted 30 October 2006 Posted 30 October 2006 From where I was sitting, it looked like he headed it, and going by the numbers applauding, I wasn't on my own. However, the other half and the two blokes in front claimed to have seen him use his hand. It's a tough call. I've seen the brief clip on the Championship, and whilst it's not conclusive, the lack of argument from our side suggests it was a handball.
holly Posted 30 October 2006 Posted 30 October 2006 yeh were i was sat it looked like a headed ball but on the championship u could defo see a hand come out and the picture in the NOTW clearly shows it being handballed! plus he admitted it
Manwell Pablo Posted 30 October 2006 Posted 30 October 2006 Handball a million times over, daft twat, the only thing im unsure of is if the balls going in or hitting the post.
holly Posted 30 October 2006 Posted 30 October 2006 Handball a million times over, daft twat, the only thing im unsure of is if the balls going in or hitting the post. was defo gunna go in
lcfc_jme Posted 30 October 2006 Posted 30 October 2006 If he's admitted it and the pic shows it clearly hitting his hand then there are no grounds for appeal. We'll now be without him for the Stoke game, but I wouldn't be suprised to see him return in time for the Sheff Weds game on Saturday

lookwhaticando Posted 30 October 2006 Author Posted 30 October 2006 Well that's because you can't see his hands from behind his ass, that's why. Mcauley even admitted himself it was handball!! Hadn't read anything he's said about the incident, was it in the Mockery or something?
Bert Posted 30 October 2006 Posted 30 October 2006 Hadn't read anything he's said about the incident, was it in the Mockery or something? Just for you
Janx Posted 30 October 2006 Posted 30 October 2006 well perhaps the ref or lino had a better view but VERY inocuous on the gogglebox!
Guest Posted 30 October 2006 Posted 30 October 2006 well perhaps the ref or lino had a better view but VERY inocuous on the gogglebox! It doesn't matter, he's admitted it, can you not read? :pinch:
Janx Posted 30 October 2006 Posted 30 October 2006 It doesn't matter, he's admitted it, can you not read? :pinch: you dont expect me to READ the shoite posted on here do you... Im far to busy posting crap!
The People's Hero Posted 30 October 2006 Posted 30 October 2006 you dont expect me to READ the shoite posted on here do you... Im far to busy posting crap! Long may it continue. ps Weren't you in the Fuggles?
Dr The Singh Posted 30 October 2006 Posted 30 October 2006 The evidence!!! Also, he has admitted to RK, that it was a penalty, i think it was in the NOTW!!
lookwhaticando Posted 30 October 2006 Author Posted 30 October 2006 As I feared - the players knew what had happened, which explains the lack of serious protest at the sending off. Oh well, Gareth, you silly boy... I do remember one Muzzy Izzet, whilst at Birmingham clearly handballing it on the line - so Gareth's in good company. Interesting that he came clean about it.
lcfc_jme Posted 30 October 2006 Posted 30 October 2006 Interesting that he came clean about it. Honesty is the best policy Besides, he knows he'll be straight back in on Saturday and so feels there is no point in creating a huge fuss about something he knows he'll be caught for
john_lcfc Posted 30 October 2006 Posted 30 October 2006 was definately a handball no question. well done the referee for spotting it mind,

john_lcfc Posted 30 October 2006 Posted 30 October 2006 i cant believe people are complaining that a it was a penalty and red card. he handled it on the line ???????
lookwhaticando Posted 30 October 2006 Author Posted 30 October 2006 i cant believe people are complaining that a it was a penalty and red card. he handled it on the line ??????? I'm not complaining - I was merely pointing out I failed to see the incident clearly enough to decide one way or another. Since he's admitted it to RK, he obviously used his hand to stop the ball going on - in which case I have absolutely no issue with it being a red card or a penalty at all.
