Donnie Sportsmanship

I've seen this happen a few times over the years. It's guess it's the "right thing" to do but I'm still torn on whether I'd want Derby to allow the opponent to score in this situation. He wasn't attempting to score so it's surely the GK's fault? :lol:

I think the Donnie fans booing need to think how'd they would have felt on the other way round.

 

mind you the wolves (I think) who scored with his hand told his team mates it was hand ball and then they did nothing. He should be given a retrospective punishment for unsporting like conduct.

Sith Happens

remember this nearly happening to us, think it was reading, we kicked it out for an injury to one of theirs, they looped it up and it almost did the same, bounced off the bar.

its a stupid rule anyway, ref should stop the game if there is an injury.

that is the rule, but some teams kick the ball the out anyway. Maybe it would be better if that happened that the throw in is thrown straight to the opposition instead of being passed to the keeper.

If the ref saw fit he used to a traditional drop ball under these circumstances. No idea why that stopped. I don't like this "force someone to be sporting and then clap the players like they did it because they wanted to" lark.

Kicking the ball out of play is sporting, doing so knowing that you're going to get the ball back is not (especially if it's your player down). Used to be kicking the ball out of play meant you knew you were giving it to the opposition and if they were grateful they gave it you back. I don't like all this enforced niceness. If a player/team want to be arses then let them be, adds to the character of the sport.

Keogh telling the ref that Spearing didn't dive is proper sporting behavior but the refs don't listen to the players because usually players are tossers.

Doesn't this have ramifications in betting? And what if that bury number 9 ends up with a golden boot by one goal?

and why was the goal keeper being s bit of a tossed about it, trying to take the ball off the striker?

And why were the bury players all hassling the Ronnie player like he meant it? I would have not been sporting just because of that.

must have been a penalty then?

 

 

p.s. There's no way i'd want my team to stand there whilst the other side walk it into the net.

Don't belt the ball back like that if you don't want stick. He's a professional footballer. Of course the opposition are going to be suspicious when he "over hits" what is meant to be a pass back by a good 10 yards.

Fair play to Doncaster though because they proved it was a genuine error by allowing the equaliser. It looked to me like the Donny players who feigned to go for the ball were just joking around.

The Bury number 9 is Leon Clarke. I think we can discount your fears about him winning the golden boot.

Wonder if they'd give him another go ?

We'd be bricking it if it was Sammon ..

Cant give him another go. Have you not seen Leon Clarke play? There's not enough minutes in the game for him to go on two "runs"

If there were more strikers like Clarke about then Kenny Burns would still be fit enough to play CB
