Community Shield

[Topin Wagglegammon]

I haven't criticized the officials. Just stated a fact.

[Le King]

evened itself out with the evra incident
ref stops play for ballacks rips, n doesnt for evras head injury

like in all sports the benefit should go 2 the attackin team which is wat they try n do so we can see more goals

[nachoman]

Good way for Ancelloti to start his campaign but the real stuff begins next week

Referees/linesmen should call what they see. If they don't see it, they can't call it.

[Litmanen]

Rooney's goal was offside marginally.

Ferguson has come out and blamed the refs for losing... maybe he should blame is keeper for coming out flapping for the first goal, and for hesitating on the second one.

[Judge Judy]

foster had a shite game

[Litmanen]

foster had a shite game

Foster is shite, i was saying this last week, and i reckon you'll see this over the next two months. I must be the only one that sees this still, it might take him a few weeks to settle i think, the game is almost too fast for him IMO.

if referees want to know why the respect campaign doesn't work they need look no further than this match, the inconsistency the ref showed when evra was down injured (after a foul that happened right infront of him) by not holding up play after only minutes earlier stopping play when ballack was down and evra was through on the wing was very poor.

[King Of East]

Good game I thought, tale of 2 halves really. Both 2nd goals were contentious but evened themselves out. Finally we have won a penalty shootout!!! Bring on next week, can't wait!

[chelsea91]

Good win, Rooney's goal was offside but it didnt cost us. Next week should be good

Tell me about it, if they don't have a good start, watch him blame it all on Ronaldo not being there.

[Chelsea4thewin]

you may say it means nothing but its still a trophy

great win, brings a lot of confidence into next week

I'm not disputing what he saw.

[Le King]

I'm not disputing what he saw.

Rooney's goal was offside (just).

i think you are

[Updachels]

I dont think he is...
Fact: Rooney was marginally offside
Linesman (without the help of a replay) saw Rooney, incorrectly, in an onside position. Was a very tight call and he has given advantage to the attacker but in the laws of the game he should have been called offside...

[Judge Judy]

benefit of the doubt went to the attacker (for once). this should happen more often.

[E. Grant & Co]

1 down 3 to go

There's no such thing as benifit of the doubt. He has just called what he's seen (irrespective of whether it is right or wrong). He hasn't seen an offside, and as a result hasn't called it.

well i'm glad you've had a chat to the linesman and he's told you that there was no doubt and he was certain rooney was onside.

If he'd seen an offside he'd have called it. The fact he didn't means he didn't see it.

Which is more or less what I said. You may be a bit slow but you get there in the end

[Le King]

ur sayin even though the linesman didnt c the offside, he still shoulda called offside because the replays showed it was offside

[Topin Wagglegammon]

I didn't say that at all. All I sad was in reality it was offside. Linesman didn't see it, hence he didn't call it.

which means it wasn't offside

With regards to offside they don't signal offside because they think it might have been offside, they'll signafy offside because they were sure it was.

[Judge Judy]

don't know how you can know that though i.e. that they're 100% sure on each decision
