Wigan should just be relegated now, woeful. Feel sorry for the keeper.

Yeah shame he plays with a bunch of useless ****s. Other than Moses, think he'll be a good player if he moves to a better club

Was good last season, surprised no-one seems interested.
Remember his debut - he had the look of a 'Keeper who will make it about it.

This is what the instruction is from US Soccer Federation for the 'passback' violation, which is received directly from FIFA.
- Was the ball kicked with the foot?
- Was that action deliberate? (eg not a deflection or complete shank)
- Was the ball touched by the goalkeepers hands?
IMO it was yes to all 3 so it was a foul. Give credit to Stoke for knowing the laws.

If we picked Dougie Bader we could get round the rule.

I've often wondered about this...if a player with the same physical capabilities as Ol' Douggie Boy were to play football, and the ball was 10 feet in the air, could he unstrap his leg, and holding it high in his hands, 'kick' it? I mean, would that be seen as legitimate :shrug: Would it be handball :shrug: Would it be hand-foot-ball :shrug:
I is confuse-ed

It was more meant to cover the ball being hit with the shin, but if its easier to rip on an entire nation being stupid about "soccer' then so be it.

Stoke getting turned over at Bolton now, is Wilson playing for them? if not is he injured or just unable to force his way into their line up?

No.
It was meant as a joke - hence the :grin:
It's called exploiting the ambiguity of language - which is what a lot of humour is about.
Folk do it with me, on occasion, and I just life - hell, I even ridicule my own use of language on occasion :roll:
Besides, the joke was about kicking with the foot and not because Yanks call football soccer - as should have been obvious, in that you kick the ball with your feet, your <Insert Appropriate verb> with other parts of the body, therefore, the with the foot is a bit of overkill.
Perhaps a humour transplant may work.

I'm a ref in the US. Trust me, the USSF Referee Committee excels at overkill. They have an acronym for almost everything.
