well, I'd say it looks no more confusing than these:





at 3:49


Wenger had the nerve to claim he'd never seen anything like it before...pwned (H)

That's Wenger for you.. His team can do no wrong, yet when it's done to them, it's due to bad refereeing. Hypocrisy as it finest

Dude, don't be so annoying, Benfiquista or not, that goal is indeed a strange goal, that has nothing to do with this case.

Now, about the goal, stupidities apart, I don't think this should be allowed. Ignore who have done it before and whatnot, this is not fair-play. And believe it or not, i could not care less if you go through or out, in fact, i was very pleased with the game last night, very enjoyable. And i was curious to see Hulk again, i really like to watch him play, but his lack of rhythm was clearly a step down.

Glad we got the win, so important at this stage! Yes, both our goals were unusual, but you got to give it to Ruben and Falcao, though: that was smart, fast thinking! :)

What really annoyed me was our lack of pressure on defense. Drove me nuts how we always gave Arsenal a good 2 meters distance to think their game. Could have killed us if their best line up was there...


Btw, classic moment for the ages:
'É, e agora nao vale, agora nao vale.... golo. golo!? GOLO!!! PORTO!!!' (H)

When the Chelsea hating asswipe Graham "3 Yellows" Poll, allowed Henry to do that against us, our protestations and claims of unsporting behaviour, were ridiculed by every gooner and pundit in the country.

Henry was lauded a genius for his quick thinking, and Poll (the prick) wore a self satisfied smirk on his face for the rest of the day.

Is it within the laws of the game? Yes it is.

Is it unsporting behaviour? I think it is but that's only my opinion. Others don't care whether it is fair or not as long as it goes in.

The gooners were on the recieving end for a change last night. They were done up like a kipper, and all I could do was laugh at it.

You just can't help laughing when it happens to someone else can ya? I get it now :innocent_smile_1:

It's not unsportsmanlike. It's part of the game and the only people to blame are the defenders and goalies who aren't paying attention.

It can't happen without the assistance of the ref. That's where I have a problem with it.

I know the laws of the game state that you are allowed to ask the ref if you can take a quick free kick. He might say yes or he might say no.

Why has the ref got a choice? He has a choice because the laws state that he needs to be sure that, (1) HE isn't obscuring the ball from the opposing team, or 2) HE isn't restricting the movement of players in any way.

The ref during the Porto-Arsenal game, allowed the quick free kick to be taken by Porto, but he WAS obscuring the ball from the defending players, and he WAS in Sol Campbell's way when the kick was taken.

Porto didn't do anything wrong. They asked, and the ref said yes when he should have said no. The ref got it wrong this time.

If the Arsenal players hadn't had lost their heads after the kick was awarded, we wouldn't even be talking about this. Flapianski should of simply kept the ball until his defence was ready. That's where the fault lies really.

It's still a pretty good result for the Arse to take back to the Emirates though.

Thing is, it was the ref who took the ball from Fabianski. What a tool, the goal is more his doing than even Ruben or Falcão!
 

Filipower

Bunburyist
What do you mean? The ball was slowing down, Campbell touched it back to Fabianski. He kind of tripped and everything but it did have an influence on how fast the keeper got to it.

To be fair to Fabianski, he was risking a yellow if he had kept the ball from the referee.

Did I just defend an Arsenal player? Oh God...

You of all people should know what happened last time Porto defeated an English team 2-1 at home in the last 16 round of the CL. (H)

sorry man, you misunderstood me. I'm just saying that if Arsenal fans want to argue about something, they should talk about that back pass (not the goal!!!).(Y)

What most people fail to see is that Wenger is just trying to take out the focus from the mistakes his defense made by putting all the blame on the referee. He knows Porto took the quick free-kick legally but he's just trying to protect both Campbell and Fabianski from being criticised, so he's saying the ref is guilty for allowing the goal.

And you know what? It works, since we already have a crapload of posts discussing if the goal was legal or not, while some posters have forgotten Fabianski's mistake by catching the backpass with his hands and then giving the ball away.
 

Filipower

Bunburyist
Again, not his fault for giving the ball away. It was the douchebag referee who requested it. It was Fabianski and Campbell's fault on the back pass and catch, not what happened next.

An more experienced keeper would've held the ball and taken a yellow card. Better than conceding a goal.
