Syteanric 1 Posted October 21, 2008 or will the press have Clingan and 2 of Litas goals down as own goals?Thought giving Clinkers as an O G(which tye said on the radio after the game) was Harsh! Litas 1st got touched over the line by the defender.... not sure about the one in the river end as too far to see! jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 4,169 Posted October 21, 2008 From having seen the goals on Sky, it would be a bit harsh for Lita''s goals not to count as his - his first was on its way in, and the last did appear to be deflected, but not really any more than Croft''s vs Sheff Utd. Many goals get bigger deflections and remain the property of the striker, so I can''t see any reason for those to be any different Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trent Canary 0 Posted October 21, 2008 Hard to say. Think Clingans will go down as OG unless it was already over the line by the time the keeper had it. Litas first I think was his, the defender had no time to react to it. Litas third I havent seen a replay of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Croft got his goal, as I understand, when Lita''s fourth "goal" rebounded off the post.Bloody loanees. I don''t think they are committed. Do you?[8-|]Either way, great win, well done.

Pete Raven 276 Posted October 21, 2008 PA, Beeb and us all say Lita hat-trick. If the FA change it I''ll ring them up and shout Boooooooooooo down the phone at them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbo_Jet_Set 0 Posted October 21, 2008 Lita''s third was clearly an own goal. No way was it going in until the defender touched it. Sorry Leroy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pete Raven 276 Posted October 21, 2008 Actually, if you''re reading this Coppell, Lita only scored once - the other two were own goals. Best you let him stay here a few more months.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry Leroy[/quote]Either way why spoil a good story? No team concedes own goals unless they are being pressurised by the attacking team in my experience.Should every time a keeper''s glove is the last touch on the ball before it hits the net be an own goal?It''s a deflection after all.[8-|] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 853 Posted October 22, 2008 Clingan shud claim his, it was on target, even if Ikeme did have a mare. Not sure so much on Lita''s 2nd, i''d give it him tho! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted October 22, 2008 Good luck folks, I''m far from sure that the poor old soul can count.He stated and repeated on another thread that we had only spent a year in the Premiership, and when it was pointed out that 1 + 1 +1 +1 = 4 he promptly clammed up.Maybe as far as numbers are concerned his views should come with a Government Health Warning - in blue?OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I''m sure you mean his third, (which, from sitting from behind the goal,) was clearly an own goal by the defender.I think Clingan should have his though, it WAS technically on-target.
