Tim Howard scored twice for Everton I believe. But his were from kicks.When is the last time a goalkeeper scored?
LOL how often does that even happen?! I know goalies like Chilavert and Campos used to score on free kicks but a technical header in that big a spot?!
Yeah that wasn't some easy power header. Gonna be completely honest I totally lost my head there. I cannot believe that just happened.
Yeh but you still posted so clearly I can’t trust the post count.I don't run out of things to say often as you can see by the post count.
I have nothing.
This was discussion I saw brought up for qualifying for the world cup in Brazil. I think the goal should have counted but I can understand why they ruled it out.A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched* by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by:
- preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision
There is definitely a case for it, was it correct though? Don't think it would have been overturned if the assistant didn't put his flag up

I missed everything but the Allison goal (saw a replay). Why are people saying Liverpool got good officiating?
I guess it had to do with that offsides goal where one West Brom player maybe screened the goalie but otherwise had nothing to do with the goal, he was just standing (stupidly) passively offside but it still didn’t count.
Oh. Well I'd have to see it to say for sure, but in general the PL is extremely deferential to keepers on those plays. It doesn't really matter if the keeper had a chance or not, if someone is in his general line of sight they'll almost always give it as offside.
I mean, they let it slide when there’s a mass of players in the box actively going for the ball.Oh.
