Definitely number 1:

Some of that is probably true with reference to the first handball but the second seemed a bit more than "instinct". Anyway, it's still a disgusting goal to concede and pretty surprising that none of the three offences (two handballs and an offside) were given! Got to feel sorry for the Oirish. What was the 03 final?

I have a brilliant image of a sea of grizzled, weather beaten northern faces huddled together under a sea of grizzled, weather beaten northern flat caps, and a solitary shiny trilby emerging, like the first shoots of Spring, spinning gleefully in the air, whirling its own celebratory waltz to the hurrah of Saints latest goal. Great post

3-3 I believe. I was there. Must have been one of my first away games.

Yeah, it seemed like he kept glancing at the big screen. Seemed afraid of what he would see. Maybe he was worried about the goal, maybe he was worried that haircut he had that looked like a lady's clunge fluff was back.

Lol - we have plenty of cheats too you know.

Ladyboys?

I couldn't care less one way or the other. HTH.

Oh yeah! I think that was "honest" though and the replays were hardly conclusive. Different league to this one!

One of them should definitely have been given. He was stood about a foot from the ball as it went past his head and he was trying to get to it. Definite offside.

Correctly. The last world cup was a ****e standard.

Don't like the idea of tv replays. As a neutral, I've just really enjoyed that controversy.

Did you watch the match? France aren't very good. Apart from Anelka who is ****ing brilliant.

TBH, we would all be loving it if Rooney had done it.

Awesome, Slovenia have qualified - loads of shots of really hot birds at the Worlds Cub. On the downside it was Russia they beat so you win some, you lose some. Further to that, I doubt many of them will go to Sowt Afffrrrrika so it's moot. Good post all the same though, benjii.

It really is a horific goal. Missing the offsides from a dead-ball is bad enough but Henry threw the ball to Galllas!

Lol. He is a peanut-headed ****.

has just been scored by France. What is Saints' most disgusting goal? I remember Beattie bundling the goalkeeper into the net at the Dell in front of the Milton (against M'Boro I think?) and the ref allowed it.

That is one of the most disgusting goals ever. Offside from the free-kick - no excuse for the lino missing that + Henry chest-passing (in the B'ball sense) the ball to Gallas. Shocking!

Brave decision!

Great match.

I know there's a thread on General Sports but this is a cracking match and there's 30 mins of extra time now.... if you've got access to the necessary television equipment or internet equipment I recommend watching!

Agreed.

The problem, if there is one beneath commercial journalism and thinly veiled jealously, is the continuous dumbing down and failure of the school education system coupled with a bizare governmental notion that it is a good thing for people of distinctly average intellect to attend educational institutions that should aspire to intellectual elitism.

FFS. Mods, I can't believe you allow one of the world's great statesmen to be libelled on here like this. He DID NOT do a sexy time on her.
