    Bahrain's disallowed goal

    All said and done, lets us talk about Bahrain's disallowed goal.
    In general we are pleased with the result and I went along with the mood although deep inside I wanted Bahrain to put up a good show simply so Asia would not be given a bad name. Beside that I thought they played fairly well.

    Anyway, back to the goal. There are two points I want to make here:

    Point 1:

    From what I heard the commentator say and the picture I saw (remember that the stream had been changed to Romania vs Nigeria at this time), to me it seemed a perfectly legitimate and allowable goal. The player did not foul the keeper by touching him, did not take the ball out of the keeper's hands and did not prevent the keeper from taking a free kick.
    1. The goalkeeper when in play is considered the same as any other player. When the ball has left his hands and is no longer in contact with him physically, it is considered to be in open play.
    2. The goalkeeper was not touched or fouled so the Bahraini player was quite correct in tackling the keeper to take the ball away. All legal moves in football.
    3. The ball was in open play and it was not a dead ball situation for the Bahraini player to prevent the keeper from taking a free kick.

    It all goes to show that it was a perfectly legal challenge and the goal should have been allowed. There are many examples of this kind of play with film clips to prove that it is legal.

    This brings me to my second point:
    Uzbekistan had a penalty disallowed and the referee awarded a free to Bahrain instead of making Uzbekistan take the penalty again. Due to this mistake the Uzbeks had to forfeit that win and replay the game. We know the outcome of this. Although you cannot blame Bahrain here as they had nothing to do with it. It was the referee and FIFA that were at fault.

    Bahrain went on to win the tie and go to the second playoff set of games, a set that we all felt should have involved Uzbekistan and TnT. Anyway, with the score tied at 1-1 with Bahrain having an away goal in the first leg, it seemed more or less certain that they would qualify, a situation that had the Bahraini people celebrating a few days before the second leg was played. They were so certain of qualifying that it seemed the return leg was just a formality (of course TnT had other ideas ).

    Anyway, with all that happened including the spectators sitting in the stadium with Saudi flags waiting to wave it at Iranians to goad us again, was it not poetic justice at what happened although Bahrain was not at fault in this instance?

    As DD said in another thread, what goes round, comes round. The Bahraini hopes were built to a crescendo only to be so cruelly dashed especially with a fully legitimate goal that was so poetically disallowed.

    That to me is revenge. Cold, calm and enjoyable revenge from a small nation half way across the globe.

    We were avenged (so many times already) and the Uzbeks were avenged. Now let them cry their eyes out. Who cares? Not me

      I didn't watch the game, however if the goalie comes face to face with the opposite player while kicking the ball, then it is an interference foul, unless the challenge comes from the side. Based on what I can see in the picture the Bahraini player is going for the ball almost straight on. It seems like a foul, however I may be wrong. Reuters reported that the foul was not an Intreference, but rather an Ungentlemanly foul! , what the hell is Ungentlemanly?!!.. this is the first time in my entire life following football that I ever hear such a call !!

      Nevertheless, as you said it, if the goal was good then this was indeed a poetic justice ..and also if the goal was wrongly disallowed, then it just added more salt to Bahrain's wound which makes it even more enjoyable for us

        I just saw the clip of the goal including a slow motion of it from different angles and it was a perfectly legitimate goal.

        Sorry Bahrain you were cheated but now you know how it feels. heh heh, you could not grassroll your way out of this one this time

        See the goal here (courtesy of raul) http://d30.yousendit.com/E/3O4R5H245...n_ali_goal.WMV

          yes, I just saw the clip too... damn it was a goal !

          no contact was made, no ineference whatsoever... it was a clean goal..T&T's goalie is an absolute idiot ! a lucky one too !

          LOOOL! .. Bahrainis were rubbed !

          dont be surprised if FIFA calls for a rematch though ..

            The thought did cross my mind but there is absolutely no chance. They would not make the same mistake again, especially when TnT will be up for it anyway.

                I think we should replace the onion design in the Iranian flag with a miniature TnT flag. What say you?

                  Yes the goal was perfectly legit, the player flicked it off and I must say really well timed, but I guess now they feel what Iran felt four years ago, poetic justice and irony have finally calmed my burning fire from four years back...

                  Now if only Saudi eats another 8 or 9 goals, it would be the best!

                  Well I won't be the one left behind

                    lol

                    can you imagine, travel to Bahrain and walk in the streets while wearing a t-shirt with Iranian flag printed on the front, & a T&T flag on the back

                        wow.. I can say there is justice in the world after all. Eventhough it feels bad to Bahrainis.. I feel somewhat good.

                            Check with raul, he might put it up for you. Or Xevor, he will probably have it.

                              Okay guys...I allowed you to talk and talk and say bla bla that "Bahrain's goal was correct" and "my friend who is a referee in the first devision told me that it was a correct goal!"

                              I have a bad news for you and your friend: Bahrain's goal was incorrect. So don't overjoy it! and please tell your friend to take the ref classes again!

                              Do I have a proof? as usual-----> Yes, of course!

                              Here is the proof:

                              As a goalkeeper releases the ball to kick it into play, an opponent intercepts it before it touches the ground. Is this permitted?

                              No. It is an offence to prevent a goal keeper releasing the ball from his hands. The releasing of the ball from his hands and the kicking of the ball is considered to be a single action.

                              Question number 19, page 29, Q&A2005_E, from Fifa website:
                              http://fifa.com/en/regulations/regul...1584,3,00.html

                              end of the story! VivaItalia rules!

                              PS. What a co-cky attitude this Viva has!
                              VIVA ITALIA VIVA MILAN VIVA MALDINI
