FA Cup - Chelsea v Spurs

[perseus]

If Spurs can't keep hold of the ball ..... don't they know how to play possession football ?

Unfortunately for Chelsea, it will be the only Final they get to this season.

Chelsea are not any good. Couldn't even get an OG.

 

[Dandyman]

Shit ref but Spurs were n't at the races sadly.

 

[Worthingite]

I agree to a point, but do you really want that pony-tailed twat Carroll lifting the FA Cup?

Rather him than Torres winning a cup by scoring less goals in a season than Inigo Calderon......

 

[Dandyman]

Fair play to Ledley for that difficult interview. Can't imagine John Terry being that dignified about the second goal.

Spot on. King is a gent. Terry is a shitbag.

 

[Brovion]

Blue is the colour,
Emphatic is the word,
Chelsea in the final,
Harry is a turd
So keep him away from the England team
Cos he's not even good for Spurs

I like that! Still think he's the ideal manager for England though - the bloke who's only won one cup managing the team who've only won one cup.

Gareth Southgate had it bang on. How could Atkinson have been 100% certain that crossed the line? Possibly one of the worst decisions I have seen in 35 years of watching football.

Well if that isn't a call for goal line technology, awful decision not a goal!

Does the BBC Text Commentary count as "goal line technology"?

48:34 Goal scored Goal - Juan Mata - Tottenham 0 - 2 Chelsea
Juan Mata finds the back of the net with a goal from inside the penalty box to the bottom left corner of the goal. Tottenham 0-2 Chelsea. Assist by John Terry.

Much as I dislike JT, he was honest enough to say it wasn't a goal from where he was.

That was a game changing decision !

Really, it is time to get technology involved in this as it is massively important !

Ello ello, what's goin' on 'ere then, are you suggesting some foul play and that the net will not be in need some repairin'?

Erm.... shame he celebrated a goal that wasn't by throwing his hand up to claim it at the time!
Honest? My sides are hurting at THAT assessment!

Again, much as I dislike the guy, he did say afterwards that it did not cross the line. That was big of him.

Thought you had put me on ignore !

He thinks of the most c*ntish thing to say that bloke. 99% of footballers would say it was over the line. But not him.

 

[Pondicherry]

Is it just me or wasn't Gareth Bale about 5 yards offside when he scored?

 

[drew]

There was an explanation.



Its a massacre.

Informative post. Perhaps you could expand?

No and I don't really want his arrogant manager anywhere near it either BUT I hate John terry a lot more. The man is a vile rat!

Er.... I haven't anyone on ignore, and I don't recall ever saying I would with you.
But for Terry being "big" - I think you are confused there. 'Big' would be if he disowned the goal AT THE TIME instead of running with his arm up like Shearer! He can say whatever AFTER the game as the non-goal has been given and has stood.
If he had proper faith in his side's ability to win fair and square he wouldn't be claiming the goal he admitted he KNEW it wasn't!

Was he ahead of Adebeyor when the ball was last touched by him?
I think he ran onto a loose ball after Edebeyor was sent flying, and I didn't recall him running in front of his team-mate before that.

The new Tottenham Hotspur FA Cup 2012 watch is now out; it's shit. It stopped moving and only says five past one.

Sounds like an accurate summary of the game to me. (I still can't stand Shearer either btw).

The TV went to great lengths to explain that. Roughly translated it was not preventing a certain goal, because it failed, therefore a sending off was not obligatory.
