Sky reporting an own goal by de gea

[JAZMAN2]

Kone couldn't give a shit, he just likes killing people.

Thats his nickname now. Killa Kone

 

[Saucy Jack]

Went in off/under the keeper from what I saw. I couldn't see any defender kick it off him in the replays.

 

[Alovesuperb]

OG my arse!!. Perfect header they simply couldn't keep it out. On their reckoning any ball that touches anyone or the keeper on the way in is an OG. Stupid!!

 

[stubber]

What a load of Opta inspired, Premiership data driven drivel. Kone thumps the ball at goal. De Gea and his marra make a pig's ear of it and it ends up in the net. We used to call it a goal, in the olden days. If Kone hadn't thumped it with his heed, perhaps De Gea would have kicked it into his own net anyway? In order to claim an assist? Beggars belief.

 

[Geronimo]

It was going in anyway and it should definitely be Kone's goal.

.. is the wrong answer.

The ball was stopped stone dead before De Gea landed on it and knocked it in

 

[Bortley]

The accepted convention is that if the shot was on target before the deflection takes the ball in, then the striker is acknowledged as thee scorer. Hergo Kone should be credited with the goal.

 

[JAZMAN2]

Killa's goal

 

[Bortley]

The accepted convention is that if the shot was on target before the deflection takes the ball in, then the striker is acknowledged as thee scorer. HERGO Kone should be credited with the goal.

Ergo, obviously!!

 

[JW1973]

bets been paid out for my mate so for me KONE GOAL!!! deserved aswell

 

[rubberface]

I didn't think Martial made any contact. The keeper did fall on the ball having initially parried it but it happens so quick it would be ridiculous to mark it as an OG.

Kones goal, all day long, for me. Owt else and every goal that touches the keeper on the way in will also have to be given OG status.

Kone wanted it..Kone got it.... give him it.

Well, no. Its not stupid, its an OG. They did keep the header out - the direction of the ball was moving *away* from the goal thanks to Martial - only then does the keeper fall back onto it and push it back into the goal. Own Goal.

Not if the deflection takes it away from goal then someone else hits it in, it's a clear own goal to be fair

 

[nelford_safc]

Sky wouldn't wanna admit 2 goals from Sunderland players destroying Man UTD. 3 points though.

 

[DrNo!]

BBC reporting 'lacklustre' United. Fuck off !

Not seen iron telly like but from the he corner the one header looked on target.

 

[Hulkster]

It wouldn't have gone in had it not hit De Gea.

Before hitting De Gea it was heading away from goal, because that's the direction Martial hit it in.

It doesn't matter one jot, but it's a clear own goal.

 

[Bortley]

Not seen iron telly like but from the he corner the kone header looked on target.

Fucken predictive text!?!?!

 

[Dappa]

Martial kicks it off DeGea's elbow! Harsh like but who gives a fuck, 3 Massive points!

He can't have, he didn't play in the second half did he?

 

[FIVE]

Ive watched it a gew times and i still give it to kone.....it was simply unstopable as their players proved

 

[the sleeping giant]

Well, no. Its not stupid, its an OG. They did keep the header out - the direction of the ball was moving *away* from the goal thanks to Martial - only then does the keeper fall back onto it and push it back into the goal. Own Goal.

I've seen it three or four times and I still haven't seen Martial get a touch.

I've seen someone say that the energy from the header had been 'killed' before De Gea then knocked it in with his elbow. That's not true - it was on target and the momentum of the header was primarily responsible for it ending up in the net

I remain firmly in the belief that it's Kones goal.
