Arsenal v Chelsea
Page:
free kick is supposed to be an advantage to the attacking team. If the defending team has all the time in the world to set it up perfectly it takes a perfect strike to get it in the goal, and the defender would always rather give a foul.

Pires vs Pompey is still etched on my mind.

Well apparently the rule reads that the referee can indicate the taking of the free kick by blowing his whistle, raising his arm or a word in the ear. That seems fair to the defensive team doesn't it, i mean who can't hear the ref whispering to the free kick taker *quick lad the keeps is out of position have a crack* when there are thousands of fans around the pitch. Need some hearing aids that Chelsea lot

Pires dived everytime he knew he had lost the ball especially for the henry freekick.
I also thought the ref had to blow the whistle when the freekick was about to be taken, but apparently they changed the ruling on that one (which noone seemed to know about). However Mr Poll should have raised his arm and stepped away from the ball, indicating that the freekick was about to be taken, which I didn't see happen?
A fair result in the end, Chelsea looked like far superior and Arsenal defence seem to have gone astray on many of the set pieces.
Hopefully we can do a job tonight however getting a result at Fulham has always been a difficult task for us.

hmmm where in my post did it say you specifically? Just making a reference to all the arsenal fans i know moaning about having Poll for the match claiming he was biased against them.

Even though they're just as biased, if not moreso, towards your lot. And we don't have the FA in our pockets either.
> That was much much much worse than Henry's
Not really, Giggs had taken on people, was falling backwards, the ball bobbled and was outside the box. Henry's was bang in front of goal, full balance, about 5 yards out and the ball travelled smoothly along the surface and considering he's meant to be the best player in the world at the moment (yawn) he should have buried it

He done it in the community shield last season against tim howard as well. Think he's done it in the champions league as well.
That's not the first time Henry has done that. He did it against Villa last season.

I don't think he does if they are taking a quick kick. If the attacking team decide to take a slow free kick they have to wait for the ref to measure out to the wall and then blow his whistle.
