The video footage tells us something those pictures don't, which is why video footage is always more valuable than a still image.

Here, again, are former referee David Elleray's thoughts. Watch the video and tell me if you disagree with any of this...


"Meier gave an honest “continental” decision but replays clearly show that he was wrong. The ball comes back off the crossbar high in the air and is almost directly above Terry. Terry jumps vertically but Ricardo jumps diagonally towards the ball — in effect, entering Terry’s space. The resulting contact is caused by Ricardo jumping into Terry and not the other way around.

Terry’s arm seems to be across Ricardo preventing him from jumping but, again, closer examination shows that this is not Terry’s fault. Ricardo jumps fractionally after Terry and jumps from underneath Terry into the gap between his arm and body, causing Terry’s arm to appear to be blocking him."

I agree it was unnecessary, and it wasn't just the tabloids. The national news showed a video of the incident and then provided his web adress for anyone wanting to complain. But you can't really punish them for it because all they've done is published the address of his website which anyone could find anyway. If he doesn't want negative feedback he shouldn't have a feedback page.

Originally posted by Blik his position has got nothing to do with it. The goalkeeper is protected in the area the ball is in on that moment. When someone blocks the goalkeeper with their arms or hands in that area it is a foul. And you can clearly see that Terry blocks him. ah, who am I kidding, I can not convince you. But who cares anyway...

Terry is blocking him because HE IS GOING FOR THE BALL!!!! He didn't know Campbell was already there so he jumped up too! How can it be a foul when he is simply trying to put the ball in the net? So if we take your meaning, we can't have headers in football anymore because everyone has to get out of the way to make room for the goalie! How stupid is that...it was INCIDENTAL contact at best, caused because Ricardo was out of position and had to jump into Terry and Campbell to get to the ball. The video footage shows that Campbell and Terry were already in the air going for it...and Ricardo jumped after...so how can that be a foul?

You Europeans are so pussy...many of you have made the game a sport for whiney little girls who can't stand a bit of contact. According to the rules of the FA and FIFA, shoulder charges and slide tackles are supposed to be allowed, but are almost ALWAYS called nowadays, even if the ball is won first before contact.

Foul or not, YOU LOST, it doesn't matter, better luck next time! Go and watch wimbledon and to see how Tim Henman looses in the semi final!

If we lose tonight, we wish Portugal success in the final and are going to prepare ourselves for the qualification of WC 2006 in Germany!

Re: England still discussing it, you can thank your fellow countryman blik for that. Only yesterday bringing up exactly the same arguments in favour of Meier as have already been covered countless times in the thread. GG.
