Brilliant! Thanks for that. Ba's goal looks like a deflection, jammy barstewards. What a surprise, I went to sleep at half time, do I have to do that in every game?
Have you thought about watching Torquay? My son-in-law who comes originially from Exeter says that everyone down ther has a Premier League that they follow whilst actually going to Torquay or Exeter for there live footy.
(Only joking)
Just below left knee from when I was four and fell over. Right thumb from when the work glove got caught in a drill. Left wrist when a firework got inside my cuff. Both eyebrows and upper lip from separate football injuries. Two small ones on my balls from the vasectomy. One over two foot long on the inside of my left leg where they took the donor vein for my heart bypass - vey impressive. One scary one in the middle of my chest where they sliced open my sternum, still not quite completely healed after six months. One six inches long from the hernia repair in my thirties. Have I missed anything?
The defender's leg was not fully extended at the time that he nicked the ball away first. If he had planted his right foot at the point where he nicked the ball then he would have been caught on the side of the ankle.
That's because J-Rod got to the ball first and nicked it away, and then got his foot out of the way.
But this is football, not driving. In practice as well as theory referees can, will and have interpreted 'attempt to trip' as a foul. Players would do well to be aware of this before lunging in carelessly for a ball that they aren't going to reach. If it had been given as a foul in the middle of the pitch then less would have been said about it.
