Christof Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 If you get a chance to watch the highlights of this then please do, it sounds like the funniest incident and typically it involved a Gooner. I've just heard it on Five live Extra and this is the chain of events Arsenal 1-0, Bergkamp wins their second penalty of the day. Pires steps up to take the penalty. Three steps up, stops to dummy the keep, lifts his foot, BUT TOUCHES THE BALL Man City players run into the box as the "penalty is taken" Pires appeals, is booked and its a Man City free kick. If Arsenal lose I wouldn't want to be Robert Pires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 its only a mistake every makes mistakes, you can clearly see what him & Henry were trying to do, and Arsenal won the match anyway, and on MOTD when they had the interview after the Match with Henry his laugh is SO funny.

Telf Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 It's just one of those things, but if he hadn't scored the earlier penalty he would have been crucified by the Highbury faithful - especially after the sitter he missed early on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2James Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 its only a mistake every makes mistakes Does he not understand the rules? Even if he had passed the ball to Henry succesfully, the ball must hit an opposition player or the frame of the goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.J Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 On Soccer Saturday they were saying the rules have changed since Cruyff and Olsen did it at Ajax, as Y2James said the ball has to hit an opposition player or the goal frame before a member of the same team can touch it again. However this was not mentioned on Match of the Day or Goals on Sunday so I'm not too sure if the goal would have stood or not, still funny watching a player of his calibre miss hit a dead ball like that.

Clarkey Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 If you are sick of being corrected, then don't make such an absurdly stupid mistake, especially saying that you would be the first to get out the cold fish for a slapping if someone mistook Curt Hennig for Marty Wright, which is on a par with your mistake. You made a mistake; someone corrected you and quite rightly so, get over it. There is more important things to worry about. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyway, back to topic. I was going to reply to this on Saturday after getting back from the match, but I was so incensed I couldn't put my summation into words without it resorting into a full blown unconstructive rant, so held back until I could offer my opinions in more reserved manner. It seems obvious that Henry was the major instigator, wanting his 187th goal to be from open play, spectacular, or a memorable incident (which is the one he plumped for with his friend Mr Pires.) I am still in shock that it was our captain and one of our most senior players of all people that pulled this farce out of the bag alongside one of our other senior players whose own form has been woeful of late. It reeked of stupidity and arrogance from the get-go, but to attempt it with a slender one-nil lead it has lead to it finally dawning to me why everyone else (apart from at Highbury) deems our team and players arrogant. My bias had been shading over the cracks, but sitting in my seat in the West Stand it just dawned and now my reflection really has changed. Pires and Henry should be dropped or punished for this debacle. No matter how trying times are at Arsenal at current it needs to be shown especially to the younger players filling the gaps in our first team that this kind of arrogance is not acceptable. What kind of example were Henry and Pires setting? How they stayed on the pitch after the incident is beyond me. Was Wenger even there? It just gave me the opinion that some of the players are seeing the Premiership now as a training ground. The thing that really aggrieves me the most about the whole incident is the continued talk of Arsenal trying to regain their effiency and form. You cannot even start to talk about efficiency in one breath, and then go out and show boat in the next. It just undermines every single reason that have lead to Wenger's feeling that Quincy Owusu Abeyie can't yet start a full match. Even if the incident had been pulled off and the training ground trick had been achieved on the pitch I would still be as angry as I am now about the incident. It just seems that the elite few can attempt absurd showboat techniques while the youngsters whom are fighting to get into the team to impress (so thus will be looking at ways as to make a name and cling on to their chances), are made to hold back on the bench in the danger they may make a mistake that costs us a match. I appreciate Wenger has had to back up his players to take the shine off of some of the criticism quite rightly flung by the media in their direction, but I will be extremely disappointed if he is not fuming inside, particularly because of the way he is being forced at current to rely on these senior players to be the backbone with our injury problems. The fact that they planned to do this in the first place says and sums it all up for me, and if I was a Man City fan or player I would have been very angry. I have the absolute biggest respect for Stuart Pearce, his reserved summation after the game truly shows what a great man he is but I could fully understand if he felt astonished by the lack of respect shown his way and towards his team with this incident. To surmise, I am not losing faith in Wenger or any of the team. We are in transition, heading towards a new stadium and have some great youth prospects propping up (many of whom will attempt to make their names tomorrow in the Carling Cup.) We have injury problems and are not having the rub of the green (not without the lack of trying, especially poor Jose Reyes who can't get a goal for toffee, despite being in inspired form), the form will turn around and we will be back with a vengeance by the end of the season. But what I cannot appreciate is two of our senior players taking it upon themselves to showboat at a time when the chips are down. In this period where things are not shining so bright they should be taking the mantle to inspire the youngsters to step forward and kick the team back into form. When one of these players that attempt this is wearing the captain’s armband then it can only aggrieve one more. I can take being my team and players being the subject of some banter from the fellow football republic, that’s not the issue. The big issue is that at a team when Wenger is trying to blood our youth and remould the team, he is being blighted not by a youngster making a mistake he can learn from, but senior players attempting the absurd and giggling away afterwards. Its not football, theres a time and a place and being 1-nil up and no where near being in inspired form is not the time to attempt the absurd. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proudy Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Yes Christof, Pires is indeed a tit. That was just pure showboating, it was disrespectful to Man City and they both should be punished. Even if it had gone in, I believe the rules have changed and it wouldn't of counted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Styles Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Pires got what he deserved with the penalty... Henry was a nice guy (i hate him) for taking the blame... Pires is a cheat and an idiot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
