Fair play, but what a goal!!

[Jackass]

Giving the ball back, after put out for injury treatment...in style

Thats a good one.

Ajax v Cambuur. The long goal from Ajax was accidental, it should have been a pass back to the opposition keeper, so they agreed to allow Cambuur to score. However, the Ajax goalie didnt want to score an own goal by the looks of things and wasnt quite sure what was going on. A very unusual incident.

Literally the exact same thing as that happened in a Carling Cup match last season between Yeovil and someone else.

Good one anyhow!

Thanks for pointing out the blindingly obvious.

Great strike by the Ajax boy, very Ronaldinho.

Uh... surely letting a tream score, even in the interests of fair play, would be illegal in the rulebook?

I woulda said tough shi*t guys, get a better keeper.

That was Ajax 'reserves' (<-for all intents and purposes) going 3-0 up against a side a league below them in a cup game with about 15mins left to go.

Somehow I can't see a team being so generous in a 'real' game that wasn't already over as a competitive fixture. I certainly wouldn't be either way. I'd be with Pie and have just told them "tough shít" "you snooze you lose".

As Zane pointed out above, it happened in the cup last season. I thought it was the FA cup, but I could be wrong. The lad who scored the 'evener' went on to score a hat-trick and win them the game, he was on Soccer AM later that week IIRC.

Are we talking Yeovil vs Chelsea or two evenly matched teams here? If I was the manager of that losing team and the game was not already out of sight (either 99% lost or won) I'd not be putting up with that kind of nonsense.

Zane is right, it was the Carling Cup.

Last night Huish Park saw a remarkable act of sportmanship from home side Yeovil Town in their Carling Cup match with Plymouth Argyle.

Also the guy who got the hat-trick scored the 'accidental' goal, not the leveler - so I guess it didn't matter in the end, but they didn't know that at the time!

mchurl

well i think its very good on the part of the sides involved and it shows great sportmanship. Does anyone know if they recieved an award like the time Di Canio did for catching the ball while the everton keep lay injured?

redspider has a habit of doing that,

great incident, agree with it not being as straightforward if it had have been more competitive

The reason I wrote it out is that sometimes people on this forum do not understand what they see. You yourself are a small case in point. It wasnt a "great strike" as you say, it was an accident. He was aiming to pass it back to the keeper and he overhit it. Whereas Ronaldinho's goal against England in the 2002 WC, which you are probably referring to, was one that he meant and was aiming for, even if it did catch most of us and Seaman by surprise.

That might sound like nit-picking, but consider it a reposte to your disparaging remarks.

It goes with the territory around here I'm afraid .....

Would have been hilarious if Cambuur had to miss that.

hahahaha. It was an accident? No way! I'd never have guessed!

(I am being sarcastic by the way, as I was being sarcastic when I said the Ajax goal was a great strike. I thought that was quite obvious, but maybe you can only state it and not spot it.)
