Hotshot-Tottenham
Edgar Davids
No, not Danny's transfer policy... a roll call of wrongly called goals by the officials, and how it affects results, panning out over the season. Does it really 'equal itself out??'
Feel free to add in any that I miss.
Was thinking of clearly incorrect offside goals or onside goals not given (where the other players haven't stopped due to the whistle), pens wrongly given that are converted... over / not over the line etc and the impact on the score.
So, to begin... can only think of the Chelsea Torres goal. Let me know if there have any others so far.
Arsenal
+ 1 goal, Arteta offside v QPR, 27.10.12. End up winning 1-0 when it would have been a draw.
Total points loss / gain so far = + 2.
Aston Villa
Chelsea
+ 1 goal, Torres offside v Reading 22/08/12. Was the 3rd goal in a 4-2 win, so the winner. Potentially + 2 points.
- 2 pens against QPR, 15/09/12. Got to think they would have scored at least 1, so missing out on 2 points. Ended 1-1.
-1 goal, Hernandez was offside for his winner, ended 2-3. Would have been 2-2. -2 points.
Total points loss / gain so far = -2
Everton
Umm, well then... TWO goals wrongly disallowed v Saudi Sportswashing Machine 17/09/12. Would have won 4-2. Ended 2-2. -2 points.
Suarez was onside when he scored what would have been the winner 28.10.12. Ended 2-2. + 2 points for Everton.
Total points loss / gain so far = 0
Fulham
Liverpool
Pen given against Johnson for a non-foul on Valencia on 23/09/12. Converted for Man U to win 2-1.
Suarez was onside when he scored what would have been the winner 28.10.12. Ended 2-2. - 2 points for Everton.
