it's funny how people who don't know the laws of the game attack man utd and giggs. lille should have forced man utd to ask for 10 by starting their wall closer to the spot of the foul. that would cause the restart to be initiated by a whistle. also, the entire walk-off incident, pathetic. lille should be punished along with the coach/trainer who held on to the football to prevent the game from continuing.

David - D it is obvious that you hate United and that you think that the goal should not have stood, but had it been your team you would be hailing Giggs for his quick thinking. I have seen Henry score goals in the exact same fashion at least three times, one of which was against Chelsea a couple of years ago. But if your going to oppose the goal, at least have some legit arguments. Other people have already explained it to you but you don't seem to understand the rules, so I'll give it a go.

When the ref blows his whistle to indicate that there was a foul, it is the only time he needs to. Unless the team awarded the free kick (in this case United) asks for 10 yards. Giggs did not ask for it so he is allowed to take it when ever he wants.

I respect Tony from comment 46 because he has not allowed his disdain for a team cloud his vision of what is a perfectly and cleverly taken goal. Rules are rules and they should be applied the same to every situation. As much as it pissed me off when Henry scored the quick free kick against Chelsea to tie the game and continue Arsenal's undefeated (I think it was that season and I think the game finished 2-2) season it was a perfectly legal goal.

So David - D use a bit of maturity and suck it up. Besides whether you agree with the goal or not it the ref thought it was legal, UEFA thinks it is legal (I think their interpretation of the rules is a little more important than yours) and the result stands. Beside the reaction of the Lille coaching staff should be of more concern to you as a football fan than the goal. The coach who told the players to get off the pitch should be sacked and any other coach on that bench who supported him.

David-D, i'm willing to bet your mom is fat.

Only fat people get butt hurt when they're proven wrong.

shut up and go fetch me a fiji water.

I guess we should go back in history and erase Henry's whistle less free kick some seasons ago, eh?

Go to hell Lille.

David - D — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 14:11:32 -0000

Okay WhaEva so lets take it your right - This MUST be a new rule because I played for 15 years and NEVER got asked 'did I want the wall 10 yards' - That's just what happens and then you wait for the refs to give you permission to take the kick - that is IF it has not been taken quickly ie within seconds not minutes or even thirty seconds. Matt, I was exaggerating to make the point, the clip only shows from when Rooney picks up the ball not from when the foul was committed. Numbskull !

Thought I would also check the official FIFA rules on direct free kicks outside the penalty area just to shut you muppets up once and for all. It states quite clearly that for a direct free kick 'outside the penalty area' then the opposing players MUST be AT LEAST 10 yards from the ball before the ball is 'in play'. The ball is 'in play' when it is kicked and moves.

Therefore if the players are not 'at least' ten yards away then the kick must be retaken. Therefore, if the referee has not ensured the players are ten yards away then he should not have allowed the free kick to be taken.

As it was he flouted the rules and said ' go on Ryan you take it there is an empty net for you to shoot in'

It really is laughable how you make the rules up to make yourselves feel better. Please point me to the rule that says the attacking player must confirm he wants the ball ten yards, if that's the case whats the point of a referee !!?

You lot really are MUPPETS you need the referee to help you beat Lille, quite sad really. The fact that its so blatant tells me all I already suspected about the helping hand Man U continually get from officials.... you're really not that good are you ?

WhaEva — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 11:45:53 -0000

David-D, you're a clown.

"Basterteille - thanks for the link you have helped to PROVE my point, the Henry goal more than likely stood because the opposition player was still only two yards from the ball, therby making it far more difficult to score and they hadn’t retreated the full 10 yards unlike Lille."

What the hell has that got to do with it? The Henry goal stood for the same reason the United goal stood, becuase you don't have to wait for the wall to be set up unless you specifically ask the ref to do so. Why should you? The foul has been committed against you, so why should the team who has committed the foul gain ANY advantage?

I now realise why you can't just see sense - you're a city fan, and therefore hate everything united do.

Yeah united are top of the league, of course their team is uselss, rooney is crap, scholes is crap, OBVIOUSLY the only reason they're on top is because the refs are constantly giving them an advantage [/sarcasm]

Your comments saying that the football experts are only agreeing that the goal is legit to please united fans and keep TV ratings high are laughable. You really, REALLY haven't a clue.

Matt — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 20:02:20 -0000

people get embarrassed when they concede shitty goals, thats all thats happened here. David d, you are clueless. "about 5 minutes had passed before Giggs got permission to shoot into an unguarded net". you're gonna have to click on the video again you moron. no one cares when the kick was given, lets see you count five mins from when rooney puts the ball down, till giggs kicks it. NOT EVEN ONE SECOND. WATCH THE VIDEO. you're clearly a bitter chelsea fan because you can't just buy the league. you want to claim Ronaldo??? how about Joe Cole? Arjen Robben? Drogba from last season?? all divers.

the only reason Chelsea will never score a goal like this is because the other team gets to wait while six chelsea players argue over who gets to take the damn kick in the first place. play as a team you blue whores

Tony — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 18:56:40 -0000

But I should reminisce about the crybaby Rags who kicked off about Robbie Fowler scoring a goal for City against the scum in the exact same situation.

Re: Lille 0-1 Man United

Tony — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 18:53:13 -0000

Much as I hate Man United this was a legal goal. It's pretty basic stuff, if your opponent gets a free kick go and stand in front of the ball. It takes one player to go and stand right in front of the ball. Then the referee has to move you back. If you just mess about with a wall then you're asking for trouble.

I still hate Man United.

Hahahaha Blue Army

I think it is the Red Army who's taking it this year with +45 GD and more to come. Referees' mistakes are your big excuse? common you can do better than that to justify your JEALOUSY...
Blue Army..... never heard of it.....never seen it.... it seems that they are down there, very far far away. It also seems that there are a lot of teams in the EPL that have the refs on their side for the BLUE ARMY to be in this deep shit.

David-D — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 17:01:20 -0000

Matt.....from Canada !! Sorry just got to stop myself laughing, oh well your nothing if not honest !!

You keep yerself happy believing that the free kick was legit !!

Basterteille - thanks for the link you have helped to PROVE my point, the Henry goal more than likely stood because the opposition player was still only two yards from the ball, therby making it far more difficult to score and they hadn't retreated the full 10 yards unlike Lille.

I played football for many years and NEVER remember asking the ref for the wall to go ten yards it was just a known fact that's what you do, If you take the kick before the whistle blows the ref will pull the game back.

If you want to take it quick and no one has retreated then fine, but about 5 minutes had passed before Giggs got permission to shoot into an unguarded net

The ref never blew his whistle , Lille had no idea that Giggs wold be allowed to take the kick. Under these circumstances then goalkeepers will never be able to line their wall up as they will be leaving the whole goal empty for someone to stick the ball in the net a la Giggs - cheating red scum

Un*ted have form for getting assistance from the referee which is why I mentioned Spurs or how about 7 minutes injury time or how about Tranaldo diving for pens at Boro and Spurs

Griffo of course the ITV commentators favour Un*ted they've got to keep their customers a la the Man U muppets happy ! They woudln't dare upset their captive brain dead audience.

Can I suggest you all support a proper football, sorry soccer, team rather a buch of corrupt low life cheats from Stretford, Bloody hell, even my beloved MCFC would qualify for the chumps league if we had the referee on our side week in week out.

Oh and lets not even mentione the easiest group and then the easiest draw in this round. You know you've won the argument when people start callingyou a c*nt.

Bye Muppets, hope your ready to jump off - the bandwagon will soon be at an end !

Blue Army !!

Matt — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 16:22:10 -0000

ahah oh god, i can't believe there are still idiots like david d defending this after the length of explanation i gave. i pointed out that everyone that PLAYS knows this, you then say 'i haven't even heard of....'. you clearly don't play. haah. 'the fact that the wall was formed shows man u WERE GOING TO TAKE THE TEN YARDS' you are a moron. you either ask for it or you don't. if a team gives it up anyway then the goalkeeper needs to pay attention cuz you don't have to wait for shit. giggs is merely double checking with the ref that the ball is still live. much like i do in my shitty divisional football i play in CANADA. the only reason the Lille team is so upset is cuz this barely works in my league, the reason why being everyone actually knows the rules and doesn't fall for this same under 12 tactic that really should never work at the pro level. i was born in Manchester so i guess that makes me a glory seeker? what does the tottenham game have to do with it??!! jesus, that was horrible decision by the referee, of course the ball was over the line, it was the linesmans job to see that. and get this, it was the goalkeepers fault. i can admit when my goalkeeper is being a twat, now Lille fans have to do the same if they get knocked out this round.

David-D clearly has some issues if he cannot understand what everyone is telling him.

Even the commentators after the game (ITV1), EX PROFESSIONALS, say that the goal was legit (these people should know more then anybody else) and Lille's manager was out of order trying to take his team off.

I DONT BELIEVE he has never heard that rule bout the 10 yards, I mean everyone who plays football has heard that rule. It has been highlighted in the press over the last few seasons because of Henry.

I would love to know what team this cunt supports, but have a hunch its not the red devils.

Go to about 3:10 in this video and you'll see Henry doing exactly the same thing. Did the other players walk off? Of course not.
