Smudge grabbing at the ref, total state of helplessness.

You're a cunt for posting that.

And i love Evans even more. I always used to think he was a bit too nice, too soft even, but he is learning well from Vida.

Points out the difference between a player attempting to influence an official (Drogba) and another suffering a truly serious and painful injury (Smith).

Granted Evans probably should have saw red for that play though it was not a penalty since Drogba was neither in possession nor going to score. If anything, it would have been a red for violent conduct not denying a scoring opportunity or being last man.

Yeh, I wondered that. I mean, would it be an indirect freekick in the box (ie, from where the offence took place)?

It would have to be nothing more than a free-kick of sorts. No penalty was given when Silvestre dropped Ljungberg with a forehead to the face.

duffer · 8th November 2009, 23:46

The actual kick was outside the box I think.

I'm pretty sure an indirect freekick inside the box is only for obstructuion, arguable that that was though?

olesmyhero · 8th November 2009, 23:50

I think we've all played football long enough to have something like that happen to use. I know I've been kicked to hell in matches. I didn't lie on the ground and start twitching though.

I'm sure I'm not the only person who's ever experienced extreme pain, in sports or otherwise and I'm speaking as a bit of a soft cnut, if I'm honest. Nonetheless, I've broken my nose, fingers, ribs and ankle, as well as needing 30 stitches in a gash in my foot and never put on such a ridiculous display. Has anyone else?

That's why you could tell Drogba was just doing his usual drama queen shtick. If you ever watch a player get genuinely badly hurt, they tend to just lie quite still, holding the bit that hurts, maybe raise an arm for the physio. If you see someone acting like Drogba, you can be fairly confident there's fuck all wrong with them. No great surprise he was promptly back on the pitch.

Another good indicator's the reaction from the opposition players... If someone got properly hurt you'd expect the teammates to and get into the offending player's face.

And look at Lampard, just walks past, in fact he wasn't even looking at Drogba let alone going over to see if he's alright, doubly let alone going over and telling Evans he's a khunt.

Drogba's a soft piece of shite.

Loved Vidic laughing sadistically on the touchline.

RufRT · 9th November 2009, 05:42

Imagine how good Evans will be in another 3 yrs.....

Drogba can talk all he wants about being changed etc etc (including that bollocks story about his 8 yr old telling him off after the barcelona game)....but incidents like this show he's the same git he ever was

VivaRonaldo7 · 9th November 2009, 09:15

He's a total cunt can't see how anyone can say any different.

I could watch that kick over and over and over.

you can't be serious - he gave him a yellow because he barged into an airborne Evans without any attempt to challenge for the ball. That he didn't take any action over Evans is because Drogba was shielding Evans foot from the ref's view. Drogba's action was typically cowardly and an act of the complete arsehole that he is. Evans retaliated to protect himself. Have you ever played the game and had somebody barge into you while you're in the air? He could've come down on his fuckin head or flat on his back ffs. Similar to what Vieira did to RVN that started the fracas at OT. Totally pre-meditated and dangerous.

cesc's_mullet · 9th November 2009, 11:30

It's called 'tunneling.'

I've seen someone break their neck on the Footy field, due to being collected whilst they were airborne.

Evans had his leg out simply to stabilise himself whilst he jumped, there was no way he was going to be able to tuck his leg back as he was watching the ball, and when he noticed Drogba (and luckily he did, as there was always the chance that there could've been some serious ramifications if he hadn't) it was already too late - contact had to be made otherwise, like Denis' has said, there would've been every chance that Evans would've got collected, and landed very badly.

Speaking as a keeper, it's standard practice to come out and collect the ball with a foot extended in front of you (to keep the opposing strikers honest

) and I don't think I've ever seen a keeper penalised for dangerous play in those scenarios, I know I never was.

Evans was a bit sneaky but Drogba wasn't even looking at the ball and deserved everything he got for jumping at Evans, rather than trying to play the ball. The theatrics afterwards just made it all the more satisfying. Retrospective karma's a bitch.

What drogba did was wrong but what Evans did was far worse. Strikers always challenge for balls they know they're not going to win. Evans knew exactly what he was doing, he kicked him in the chest FFS!

Imagine if Terry had done that to Rooney?

See my post above about goal-keepers. When they jump to collect a ball that nobody else has a chance of getting to, they regularly hang a leg out in front to stop people getting underneath them and up-ending them.

It was a really unusual situation, where Evans had an opportunity to win a header unchallenged and saw someone flying into him from below. If Drogba was actually trying to compete for the header, Evans would never have done what he did. It was definitely a wee bit dirty (albeit slightly instinctive) but Drogba got what he deserved.

I ve just watched the incident again and Drogba was really late - he knew Evans was on the ball but he still decided to barge into him. Evans did well to protect himself.

I would do the same knowing that someone is barging into me with the ball gone.

Leaving a leg hanging and doing what Evans did are completely different. Just because Drogba wasn't going to win the ball doesn't mean Evans had to kick him. Could've easily ended up kicking him in the neck.

I find it slightly worrying that i"m one of the few who thinks that this was a bad challenge while most people are micro analyzing Drogba's reaction.

dev1l · 9th November 2009, 13:04

Psmith, what would you do if you are in mid-air and you see someone storming into you, knowing that he has no intention of getting the ball?

Evans had two choices: either getting injured or else injuring someone else..

I would have done exactly the same thing.

The vast majority acknowledge it was a bad challenge.

A few are making the point that Drogba deserved to get hurt, for jumping into a player when he had no chance of playing the football.

The rest are just laughing at Drogba acting like a fanny. Yet again.

Evans had very right to put a foot up to discourage Drogba from running in under him and upending him when he was in the air. Drogba tried to play the man and got his just deserts. Anyone who saw the palaver after he got cramp in the CL game and had to be stretchered off would have been pissing themselves at the horizontal St Vitus' dance.

Exactly. The ChelC$KAP$V players were all nonchalant and having a breather while Didier Oscar Drogba "did that thing he does". It's a shame, he's a superb player but for a big, strong man he acts like a total wuss.

Andersonsonson · 9th November 2009, 14:11

TOP!!!!

misterredmist · 9th November 2009, 16:17

Did Drogba get up ? Yes? Oh... I thought he'd died.........

good challenge by Evans - win the header fair and square , then follow through on the dreadlock drama queen with a "free hit"....

I'm not a doctor (ok, I am) but I'm fairly sure there's no direct link between being in pain and pretending to have a grand mal seizure. I'd love to see how the soft cnut got on if he was trying to earn a living as a boxer, or playing rugby.

Pain is always amplified by a drama queen Pogue. Which we all know Drogba is. So why comlain about it?

We know what he does when hardly touched. What did folks expect from him when he was really hit this time?

Pogue Mahone · 9th November 2009, 16:49

It wasn't a great surprise, no, but it was embarrassing to watch.

Funny too. Just ask Vidic.

I was in goal last season during a league match, came out to collect a high ball and got clattered. Dude headed me intentionally in the ribs, though he made it look clean like he was going for an aerial challenge. I didn't really notice him to the last second and had gone straight up with legs down. I was down for a good 2-3 minutes, initially thinking I had cracked a rib. From that point forward I stuck a leg out anytime I went in the air.

I didn't sprawl out on the ground either. I still caught the ball, came down hard and on top of the opponent. I just stood there bent over on one knee to catch my breath and gather my thoughts, and it did hurt quite a bit. Then play resumed.
