Match Thread Leicester v Chelsea - EFL Cup

[pork pie fox]

In your world it doesn't. According to the Laws of the Game, it does.

Yeah, but what do the Laws of the Game reeeeeaaaaallllyyy mean?

 

[bocadillo]

Shinji!!!! Look at his little face!!

Great work by Gray in particular for that goal, but Musa and Shinji too - even if the defending was dodgy!

Not quite as dodgy as Liverpool's was - but I'll take it.

Yeah, but what the Laws of the Game reeeeeaaaaallllyyy mean?

HANDLING THE BALL

Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with the ball with the hand or arm.

The following must be considered:

• the movement of the hand towards the ball (not the ball towards the hand)
• the distance between the opponent and the ball (unexpected ball)
• the position of the hand does not necessarily mean that there is an infringement
• touching the ball with an object held in the hand (clothing, shinguard, etc.) is an infringement
• hitting the ball with a thrown object (boot, shinguard, etc.) is an infringement

Fair enough, my bad

 

[glyn]

Missed the goal as I was resetting my Sky box. Excellent news when it switched back on!

 

[Graz]

Such a big fan of Demarai Gray.

Hes got skill, works hard, and has great composure for his age. I think he can develop into a very good player for us. Fiture England international?

Not that it matters, as you'll no doubt have guessed I wasn't being overly serious, but, sadly, I am actually qualified as a referee (necessity of the job and all that).

[Cate Fox]

His little face is beaming now!! !!!!@1111!1!1!1!1!+!!

 

[tedfoxxx]

Shinji again!!!!

Shinji LOVES the goal line tech haha!

I was just about to say that he loves scoring but hates hitting the back of the net!

 

[londonfox]

What were the odds on a Okazaki hat-trick tonight?

Great play by Kingy.

 

[bocadillo]

Shinji on a hat-trick - and the ball still hasn't hit the net

 

[Robin127]

That Nagasaki bloke doesn't score any goals.

 

[Graz]

Is that the first time Shinji has scored 2 in one game for us?

Just as he's not fist choice anymore...

Competition for places is working nicely!

 

[NN Fox]

There was a Japanese family behind me on Saturday merrily cheering for Shinji in japanese at half time - I hope they're there tonight.

 

[bocadillo]

Is that the first time Shinji has scored 2 in one game for us?

Yes - six previous goals all scored in separate matches
