So the corrupt ref is awarding a pen against qatar ?

This doesn't bode well for the ongoing conspiracy theory.

I swear there were people behind the guy who headed it who was called offside, no?

hahaha you absolute muppet you can’t be offside from a direct free kick?!?!
You absolutely can. You can't be offside from a goal kick, corner, or throw-in. You can definitely be offside from a free kick. :houllier:

Qatar have been crap but Ecuador play some neat football. Loads of teams play ugly football even against crap teams.

Seriously though, how often are PL refs called bias for unclear decisions? All the fecking time. Doesn’t need to be so personal now all of a sudden

This keeper has had enough, either getting injured or sent off today.

Keeper might be worse than that Saudi one that conceded 8 against Germany in 2002 yet was seemingly their keeper for 20 years.

the free kick came in from the half way line it doesn’t matter if his leg was poking forwards as he was onside when the kick was taken and it wasn’t flicked on. how do people not know the rules?

How is it offside by the lower leg when the ball goes straight up, arguably backwards abit for the bicycle kick. Its not offside when the cross is played to the guy who headed it. Isn't the offiside finished once the ball goes backwards and kicked forward by somebody else?
