Balthazars Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I think so too. Letting Yanga-Mbiwa stay on the park after that tackle on Nasri proves it. I believe the goal should have stood as well, I don't see how the argument that the Newcastle player was interfering with play can be justified. Firstly, he is clearly not in Hart's line-of-sight to the ball. Secondly, Milner came out after the match and said Hart argued that the Newcastle player was standing 'where he was going to dive', which thus prevented him from moving, thus 'interfering'. Personally, I think this is absolute rubbish and excuse-making at its finest. If Hart was looking at the ball (which he was, as his view was not obstructed), the moment he sees it leave Tiote's foot he pretty much has to commit to his dive in order to even stand a chance at saving it (given the speeds that elite players tend to smash that sucker). If he's waiting to have a look around first to check whether there's anyone that he's going to crash into if he dives, he would likely be a pretty rubbish keeper due to conceeding lots of goals from long-range shots. If he was doing his job, he would have dived to try and save it. If he then hits the Newcastle player, then the issue is resolved immediately as that would clearly be interfering with play. And if Hart is really scared of hurting himself by diving towards a stationary player, he needs to man the **** up. He's not even the one likely to come out worst from such a collision, given he's the one with the momentum (and is going arm-first). My take is that Hart was focused on the shot, realised he reacted too slowly to save it, watched it go in. As he turned to watch the ball sail past him into the net, he notices the Newcastle player standing in an offiside position to his side. He goes, damn, he's totally where I would be if I had dived, screw it, let's try asking about offside! And gets away with it. And yes, that 'tackle' by Yanga-Mbiwa was horrendous and absolutely a red card. The ref totally lost control of the game after that incident. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenthreeleader Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 The case could be made, though I would certainly hope not, that Jones let Yanga-Mbiwa stay on the field because he didn't want to further anger Newcastle and its fans. I can't see a legitimate reason to strike off the goal and Hart's words are gamesmanship at its worst in my view. And for the life of me I can't understand why Pardew spent so much time talking about the 'entertainment business' when discussing the goal. Just stick to the rules -- that's his best argument.

-Xenon- Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Secondly, Milner came out after the match and said Hart argued that the Newcastle player was standing 'where he was going to dive', which thus prevented him from moving, thus 'interfering'.

McCoyPauley Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 G'day all. New name but an old face. Some might remember the old user "Dixie Flatline" who wrote a number of stories more than 10 years ago. Well, through the mists of time and changing computers, I managed to lose my password and email address linked to that account, so I've been locked out of that account probably forever. I've been perusing the thread and I'm pleased to see that there are still some old faces that I recognise and I look forward to reading the stories of the more recent posters. Unfortunately, family and work means that I have little time left for playing FM (I recently reinstalled FM05 and managed to guide Ivrea into Serie B but resigned when relegation became an inevitability and then took Barnet from League Two into League One), let alone writing a story based on FM.

Balthazars Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Did Joe Hart really say that?? "It was left to James Milner, a second-half substitute, to express Hart's viewpoint while acknowledging the unsatisfactory nature of aspects of the offside law with commendable honesty. "It was an amazing strike but what Harty says was that although the lad [Gouffran] wasn't blocking his view of the ball he was standing where he was going to dive, so Harty couldn't really make a dive. "Harty also said he wasn't sure if he would have got it anyway, but Gouffran was in his way. If someone is in your way you are not going to dive on them. Maybe he wasn't interfering, but it is such a hard one to get right. I can see both sides. It was an amazing strike and it was unfortunate for them, but it's the grey area of the offside rule." Taken from the Guardian website, which I read earlier. Seriously, if this is his reason for claiming 'interfering with play', it boggles the mind.

BenArsenal Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 As Copper pointed out in his story that I was nearing 10,000 posts on the boards. Well this is now my 10,000 posts and I thought I'd use it to say how much I enjoy writing on these boards and that I hope you lot have enjoyed the stories that I have posted on here, even though some may not last too long. The majority of people on here have become friends and a big shout out must go to Tenthree, Copper, Gav, Salkster, Chester and Ben who I have been around the same time that I have. Its great too see some new faces turning up and posting some top quality new stories. Anyway guys heres to a few more posts at least Cheers again guys Well done mate. Hope you stick around for at least another 10,000 posts, or more. You're one of my favourite story writers, and person, on this forums Mark. Cheers.

salkster2102 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 To be fair I think it shows how bodged the offside rule is these days and how everyone has a different interpretation for it. Bit of a rash decision for me by Mike Jones as offside decision are supposed to be left to the linesman. This may change the eventual winners of the league because of one decision now but we will have to wait and see. Forget the Newcastle-City match though. I'm not sure i've seen so many goals in on match and thought it wasn't that good. I am of course referring to the Stoke-Liverpool match. Both defenses were absolutely horrid. Great to see Sturridge back though and the instant link up with Suarez is a warning to the rest of the league. Liverpool have 9 away games left, 7 of which are against teams in the bottom half so Liverpool aren't totally out of the title reckoning yet. Top 4 would be a more realistic aim but with SAS around anything is possible. Congrats on the 10k posts mark been a pleasure reading all your posts.
