Nice gesture Obviously much easier to do on day one of the season Title: Re: What would Sir Alex have said? Post by: horseplayer on August 09, 2015, 11:12:05 AM Doubt it would make any difference a point or three now just as valuable
Dickov was a very hard but fair player Title: Re: What would Sir Alex have said? Post by: Tal on August 09, 2015, 11:19:28 AM Meh.
Spurs let teams amble through to score unopposed every week. Title: Re: What would Sir Alex have said? Post by: JohnCharver on August 09, 2015, 11:44:48 AM Meh. Spurs let teams amble through to score unopposed every week. if it was spurs they would have just took the ball and put it in their own net Title: Re: What would Sir Alex have said? Post by: rfgqqabc on August 09, 2015, 12:17:52 PM This all came from their goalie kicking the ball out for an "injury". The ref should be blowing the whistle now if play needs to stop? But teams still persist with kicking the ball out for throw ins if it suits. Weird but good on them.

Title: Re: What would Sir Alex have said? Post by: The Camel on August 09, 2015, 07:58:32 PM Excellent sportsmanship. More of the same for this season please. Meh, I think every team in the league would have done that. Excellent sportsmanship would have been David Edwards getting his handballed goal for Wolves disallowed by admitting it to the ref.

Agree with the second point, disagree with the first! Title: Re: What would Sir Alex have said? Post by: DungBeetle on August 09, 2015, 09:17:53 PM Excellent sportsmanship.

Cracking way to fix the goal mins spread markets without anyone batting an eyelid. 180 point swing and result integrity not compromised! Title: Re: What would Sir Alex have said? Post by: DungBeetle on August 09, 2015, 09:20:16 PM For clarity I am sure this wasn't the reason it happened. Just looked like an honest mistake.
Title: Re: What would Sir Alex have said? Post by: The Camel on August 09, 2015, 09:35:42 PM Did any bookies pay out on 0-0 or 1-0 as a goodwill gesture?
Title: Re: What would Sir Alex have said? Post by: david3103 on August 09, 2015, 09:39:16 PM Pretty sure it's happened before, it is the accepted way of rectifying the error.
tbh it would be pretty foolish to do anything other than this given the opprobrium that would follow. Title: Re: What would Sir Alex have said? Post by: tikay on August 10, 2015, 10:03:17 AM Did any bookies pay out on 0-0 or 1-0 as a goodwill gesture? "bookies" & "goodwill"? Sorry, I'm not with you Keith. Title: Re: What would Sir Alex have said? Post by: arbboy on August 10, 2015, 10:04:47 AM Did any bookies pay out on 0-0 or 1-0 as a goodwill gesture? I heard about a few bots who did a fair few quid after automatically going up with the 'correct' prices on betfair after it went 1-0. Title: Re: What would Sir Alex have said? Post by: tikay on August 10, 2015, 10:09:08 AM Nobody answered the question in the thread title, I see. Let us imagine it's 3 or 4 years ago. Man U are playing the last game of the season v Liverpool, the score is 0-0 in stoppage time. 3 points will get Man U in the Champions League, 1 point is not enough. Man U score an "accidental goal" in similar circumstances, so the players allow a walk-in by Man City. What would Sir Alex say & think about that? Title: Re: What would Sir Alex have said? Post by: DungBeetle on August 10, 2015, 10:10:04 AM Can't remember the match, but best moment of weekend was the keeper in L1/L2 who was trying to kick from his hands and was being hassled by a striker. Do you:
A) Kick ball and wait for ref to book striker if he gets in the way B) Punch striker, get red card and give away a penalty :) Title: Re: What would Sir Alex have said?

It would be very interesting in your example against Man City but i would like to think Fergie would see the bigger picture to his legacy and do the right thing tbh. I can't really see any manager thinking about the long term ever doing anything any different. Do you really want to be remembered as that kind of manager? Title: Re: What would Sir Alex have said?

I think actually most likely outcome is don't give goal back, then play the good guy in the after match interview and offer to replay the match so you get another 90 mins to win. That's what Wenger did when Arsenal scored when they were supposed to give the ball back. Sheff Utd about to take Arsenal back to Bramall Lane for a replay. Oops! Another 90 minutes at Highbury it is then. Title: Re: What would Sir Alex have said? Post by: DungBeetle on August 10, 2015, 10:16:40 AM Nobody answered the question in the thread title, I see.

I might not be quite remembering the details but I think Yeovil did it to Birmingham a few seasons back near the end to go 2-2. A riot ensues. They play extra time and Yeovil go 3-2 up. At that point Yeovil decide to let Brum walk it in (about 30 mins after the incident). So rather than lose the game in normal time they waited till they were winning to give Brum the goal back so they got to penalites. Title: Re: What would Sir Alex have said?

He won everything you can win in the game club wise numerous times. Just can't ever see him doing this just to win something he has already won before again. Title: Re: What would Sir Alex have said?

Post by: david3103 on August 10, 2015, 01:38:52 PM I think it's fair to say that these days even if the manager of a side didn't give explicit instruction the players would act this way.
SAF would give the instruction. Title: Re: What would Sir Alex have said? Post by: Knottikay on August 10, 2015, 03:11:40 PM Nobody answered the question in the thread title, I see.

Post by: AndrewT on August 10, 2015, 05:50:14 PM This whole 'kicking the ball out' thing is stupid anyway. If a player is badly enough injured that he requires immediate medical attention then the ref will stop the game. Players can then decide if they want to contest the drop ball at the restart if one team clearly had possession.
This whole rigmarole is to give the illusion of gentlemanliness - 'oooh look how noble and sporting we are' then ten seconds later someone will pretend to be fouled to win a penalty. |
