@Hassansohail It was Petr Cech. And this was a pretty disgraceful goal honestly, Henry was a great player, but I hate it when these trash goals are scored, from Chelsea players included. Referee needs to be way more discrete when he allows a free kick to be taken.
@TheSilentBoom Or the ref point at the whistle. As we can see in this video the ref didn't point it yet so it was a nice free kick from Henry and bad free kick prevent from Chelsea player especially Gudjohnsen.
@TheSilentBoom Except that the referee will usually not allow the free kick to be taken if the defense is not ready. It's okay when it's a simple quick restart, but when the wall is getting set up and the goalkeeper is out of position, the referee usually doesn't allow the free kick to be taken, or at least blows the whistle to signal the free kick to be taken. It's like Ortiz-Mayweather, "protect yourself at all times" is a joke if the referee doesn't carry it out properly.
@TheSilentBoom And I hate it when they do that, which is why I like how a lot of the referees now stand over the ball and don't let free kicks to be taken quickly. Henry is a great player, and he's had a ton of great free kicks in his career, but this is not one of them.
@Artoo64 When there is no yellow or red card, the freekick can be quick like this. There always should be a player of the other team before the ball til the wall is set up, so they don't score like this. Nowhere this is illegal.
@daniel6235 It's not illegal if the referee allows it, but it's not a beautiful goal at all. A beautiful goal is one that totally beats the goalkeeper when he is ready to make the save, not one that takes him by surprise because the referee didn't blow his whistle to signal the taking of the free kick. This really is just a trash goal in my book, the other goal Henry scored in this game was a lot more aesthetically pleasing.
@Artoo64 This goal is all about quick thinking. Football is not just played with the feet. Chelsea would have been well aware that when Henry is playing, you have to keep your concentration at 100%, as he can be decisive at any point in the game. Often it would be a wonder goal, but he scores such a wide variety of goals from all positions and angles, delicately placed, chipped, volleys, power shots, outside foot, 30 yard screamers, beating defenders from his own half, back heel etc.
@CFLNHLFIFAFAN If a player from the defending team is inside 10 yards you can take it as quickly as you want, but if you hit him, you then lose the right to retake it even though the player is inside that 10 yards.
If the attacking player isn't happy that the defending players are inside 10 yards, you can then ask the ref to sort it out, which is normally when you would need to wait for the ref to whistle.
He just took advantage of others being stupid enough not to learn rules of freekicks
ya ya thanks for explaining bud, and I knew that you could ask 10 yards, cause I watch soccer(football) and play and stuff, but I guess if they ask for it then you wait for whistle, I see thanks
ya lol in lower leagues or rec alot don't know all rules, im 16 played for over 10 years, and gone on some pretty decent teams, so I know alot about it, I watch soccer(football) , everything really, so ya
@EllzyMusic Still counts as a cheat....Doesn't feel right...Well at least to me...I might be romantic that the world can be better....Or i might be too naive,anyway...
@TheGamerKing14 i dont mind if you dont think it was a cheat but i watched that match and if you did you would never have though france had a hope, ireland was just that much better then them, what you have stated there makes it sound like you though a team was good just because of the names footballing histroy which is never the case in football,good example look a leeds now.(also the ball was out of play if it wasnt handled if it was close enough to stay in play it would have been headered)
I remember this lol...I'm sure the ref has to let BOTH teams know if a free kick can be taken quickly. Henry's other goals against Chelsea were much better
henry only scored three gooals against chelsea in his carreer so how was he a nightmare for them ?...i can't lie though im a united fan and he was probably the best player in premier league history...van nistlerooy comes close though :P
@Novalas Lol...owned??? Arsenal haven't beaten us since bridgey's goal in 04. I remember Henry being there a while after that. Don't get me wrong. Thierry was a class player in his day...but asswipe things like that will easily classify him as a prick in anyone's book!!

@blm1990 Ha ok you keep on believing that then. You can't refuse the fact that you were just an average club before Abramovich took over and would never have lasted without him. The Galactico policy only looked to bring in one world class player every seaon, but Madrid have been a dominant force in world football since the early formation of the club.
And no, the stability of your club will not last, you'll be lucky to finish 4th this season ahead of Spurs, even Pienaar realises that.
porto's goal wasnt kicked straight into the net it was laid off and perfectly legal wenger is just a hypocrite wanker who cant take losing, he needs a good heavy punch in the jaw!!
I see, if you can't justify an opinion by rational argument then hurling abuse and advocating violence is the way to do it, is it benovgil20? Well done!!!
well im sick to my back teeth of being rational and people being irrational back coz they let their feeling get in the way , so if u can't beat em join em i say
MartinSkrtelsDad: I've never heard of 'the FIFA book of regulations' but the Laws of the Game, which is obviously what referees are required to adhere to, state (pages 36-37) 'The Indirect Free Kick - Signal - The referee indicates an indirect free kick by raising his arm above his head. He maintains his arm in that position until the kick has been taken and the ball has touched another player or gone out of play'. Clear enough for you? The referee in the Porto match didn't do this.
Lord give me strength...only AFTER the kick had been taken and the ball was already on its way into the net. As the quote above clearly states, and for what should be perfectly obviously reasons, he is required to do so BEFORE the kick has been taken.
I'm sorry I genuinely don't understand your question garrido1986, can you explain what you mean by 'repeating'? You can have a look at the Laws yourself, though, in any case, they're on the FIFA website
I know what the word repeat means, but what is being repeated in your scenario...?? If the ball goes directly into the net from an indirect free kick, then a goal kick is given, nothing is repeated. The referee would still have had to raise his arm before the kick was taken. It's irrelevant to this incident anyway as it didn't go straight in, the ball was played on.
garrido1986: are we talking about the same goal?? The Porto winner against Arsenal? That was an indirect free kick, and not 'repeated'. It didn't go straight into the net but if it had there would have been a goal kick - the laws state (p.38) 'if an indirect free kick is kicked directly into the opponents' goal, a goal kick is awarded'.
Oh Lord give me strength to me now... same goal. I don't know what to do for make you understand. Did you read between the ******'s in my question? I won't 'repeat' all that again.
I did, garrido1986 - are you trying to say that if the ref doesn't raise his arm, the indirect free is taken and the ball goes straight in then the kick is taken again and if it's played on, then no action is taken?! No. If the ref doesn't raise his arm, then (as with this incident) that's incompentence on his part in the first place. Notwithstanding that, if the ball then goes straight in there is no retake it's a goal kick!! If it's passed on, then the goal would stand, as the Porto goal did.
Oh, OK yes, I see now what you mean, sorry - if the ref realises he's made a mistake by not raising his arm, then yes, it should be replayed - and that's what should have happened with this incident once he'd been alerted to his having made a mistake. But for reasons best known to himself, he didn't...
Oh hang on, no, just checked p.123 again, it's retaken if BOTH the following apply: the ref has failed to signal it's indirect AND the ball goes straight in. It's a goal kick if he has signalled and then it goes straight in. Neither of these situations apply with the Porto goal though: it was an indirect free which didn't go straight in; there was no fault as such with how Porto took it, but there was with the ref because he didn't signal beforehand and he has to!! Are we in agreement now? :)
You do raise an interesting point though - there is a gap in the Laws in that they don't specifically say what should happen in a situation like this, if the ref does realise he's made a mistake by not signalling an indirect free kick when he should and then a goal results after the ball has been passed on. Retaking it seems the only appropriate option to me. Perhaps I should e-mail FIFA about it!!
@robbaker8868 LOL ... Are you Jamaican... I have not heard that expression Lord Give Me Strength from anyone outside of my Jamaican family...I love it !!
There really was with the Porto goal, FCT5809, as others have already said below. The referee was required (it's different with direct free kicks, like Henry's above) to notify that he'd given an indirect free kick. He didn't. How were the rest of the players supposed even to know what he'd given? I've seen lots of direct free kicks taken quickly, but I've never seen a goal like that before & never will again. You might as well argue for quickly taken penalties, with the goalie not yet in place
@robbaker8868 I'd agree on all of those points, especially taking into account that he directly obstructed Sol's line to the ball in the process of placing it. A very odd goal indeed and one that should not have happened.
@robbaker8868 as stated in the FIFA book of regulations, the referee was not required to signal that it was an indirect free kick as it was inside the penalty box and therefore impossible to be direct as anyone who knows the first thing about football knows.
Sigh. There was absolutely NOTHING wrong with the ref's decision in the Porto game or in the game above. It really is fascinating to see just how many pundits, players and managers there are that don't seemingly know the actual rules of the game.
henry asked the ref if he could take the quick free kick i dont see the problem ? where as in the porto game once the ref had hold of the ball the quick free kick should not have been giving
Compare this goal to porto's goal? not even close, cuz the ref tell him to get the freekick look at the ref hand, don't be silly guys, and look at the distance, btw compare this goal to porto's is stupid.... the porto goal might be legal but, the ref blocked Sol Campbell and the free kick was inside of the box, he should let them make the wall, and he didn't and he only pulled up his hand when the free kick was already taken.
@GCDavid13 and see the comentator saying he's asking i can see he's asking to him, and see eidur gudjo.. knew that and he started screaming to his team mates
@GCDavid13 agreed, free kick in the box and out the box is different. more skills in shooting the ball by henry. really though ref didnt block sol. sol was just too busy complaining to the ref
if the players knows the rules of football, they know this could happen and they know that is legal... So as for Ruben Mical, Thierry Henry or even Lionel Messi against sporting i say they were really clever! Rulles are rulles. They used it wise for their own profit!
both goals are legal because the laws of fouls never said that the referee have give order to play the ball. the distance is a point not important.. If you ask me, its pretty??? i answer "no, it isn´t pretty but is football..." Hand of henry or Messi against Sporting in Past year is the same...
@mkfilipe rules are dead. not all rules are fair and needs some correction. distance is important to those that are playing. a quick indirect free kick should never be allowed so close to the goal/net. it might as well be a penalty. henry scored from outside the box with more than half of the opposition (although not ready) formed a wall. that is pretty but to chelsea and their fans it might not be.
No point trying to discuss which one has more likelihood of being scored... it's the intention that counts. Both goals are cheeky in using an opportunity not so fair to the other team but in keeping with the rules of the game and consistent with ref indications. I like to think that both goals are quite clever & that a team should never go to sleep in situations like this as Campbell & Fabiansky did. It is nice though to see that what goes around comes around though, I hope Porto knocks them out
@FatDaddyCH what are you on. so your saying if your team had a penalty outside the box and the oppositiong has it inside the box we should discuss the fairness of likelihood to score?

MartinSkrtelsDad: I've never heard of 'the FIFA book of regulations' but the Laws of the Game, which is obviously what referees are required to adhere to, state (pages 36-37) 'The Indirect Free Kick - Signal - The referee indicates an indirect free kick by raising his arm above his head. He maintains his arm in that position until the kick has been taken and the ball has touched another player or gone out of play'. Clear enough for you? The referee in the Porto match didn't do this.
robbaker8868 2 years ago
Actually he did raise his arm.
garrido1986 2 years ago
Lord give me strength...only AFTER the kick had been taken and the ball was already on its way into the net. As the quote above clearly states, and for what should be perfectly obviously reasons, he is required to do so BEFORE the kick has been taken.
robbaker8868 2 years ago
So... please tell me what states in the Laws of the Game about repeating a FK when the ref don't raise his arm?
garrido1986 2 years ago
I'm sorry I genuinely don't understand your question garrido1986, can you explain what you mean by 'repeating'? You can have a look at the Laws yourself, though, in any case, they're on the FIFA website
robbaker8868 2 years ago
To make, do or perform again.
When the ball doesn't go straight to the net, the indication of a Indirect FK it's irrelevant. That's all. According to the rules of course.
garrido1986 2 years ago
I know what the word repeat means, but what is being repeated in your scenario...?? If the ball goes directly into the net from an indirect free kick, then a goal kick is given, nothing is repeated. The referee would still have had to raise his arm before the kick was taken. It's irrelevant to this incident anyway as it didn't go straight in, the ball was played on.
robbaker8868 2 years ago
This has been flagged as spam show
The free kick (or FK as clearly appears in the question you genuinely didn't understand) is being repeated.
So again... What states in the Laws of the Game about repeating a FK when ***the ref don't raise his arm***?
I'll save your time because I just look it up. If the ball goes directly to the net, the free kick its repeated. In other case, nothing happens.
garrido1986 2 years ago
garrido1986: are we talking about the same goal?? The Porto winner against Arsenal? That was an indirect free kick, and not 'repeated'. It didn't go straight into the net but if it had there would have been a goal kick - the laws state (p.38) 'if an indirect free kick is kicked directly into the opponents' goal, a goal kick is awarded'.
robbaker8868 2 years ago
Oh Lord give me strength to me now... same goal. I don't know what to do for make you understand. Did you read between the ******'s in my question? I won't 'repeat' all that again.
garrido1986 2 years ago
I did, garrido1986 - are you trying to say that if the ref doesn't raise his arm, the indirect free is taken and the ball goes straight in then the kick is taken again and if it's played on, then no action is taken?! No. If the ref doesn't raise his arm, then (as with this incident) that's incompentence on his part in the first place. Notwithstanding that, if the ball then goes straight in there is no retake it's a goal kick!! If it's passed on, then the goal would stand, as the Porto goal did.
robbaker8868 2 years ago
Good Lord!
I told you I looked it up. So why do you replay that?
It's that according to you or the "Laws of the Game"?
Please look at page 123.
garrido1986 2 years ago
I mean... Whay do you REPLY that?
garrido1986 2 years ago
Oh, OK yes, I see now what you mean, sorry - if the ref realises he's made a mistake by not raising his arm, then yes, it should be replayed - and that's what should have happened with this incident once he'd been alerted to his having made a mistake. But for reasons best known to himself, he didn't...
robbaker8868 2 years ago
Oh hang on, no, just checked p.123 again, it's retaken if BOTH the following apply: the ref has failed to signal it's indirect AND the ball goes straight in. It's a goal kick if he has signalled and then it goes straight in. Neither of these situations apply with the Porto goal though: it was an indirect free which didn't go straight in; there was no fault as such with how Porto took it, but there was with the ref because he didn't signal beforehand and he has to!! Are we in agreement now? :)
robbaker8868 2 years ago
You do raise an interesting point though - there is a gap in the Laws in that they don't specifically say what should happen in a situation like this, if the ref does realise he's made a mistake by not signalling an indirect free kick when he should and then a goal results after the ball has been passed on. Retaking it seems the only appropriate option to me. Perhaps I should e-mail FIFA about it!!

robbaker8868 2 years ago
There really was with the Porto goal, FCT5809, as others have already said below. The referee was required (it's different with direct free kicks, like Henry's above) to notify that he'd given an indirect free kick. He didn't. How were the rest of the players supposed even to know what he'd given? I've seen lots of direct free kicks taken quickly, but I've never seen a goal like that before & never will again. You might as well argue for quickly taken penalties, with the goalie not yet in place
robbaker8868 2 years ago
@robbaker8868 I'd agree on all of those points, especially taking into account that he directly obstructed Sol's line to the ball in the process of placing it. A very odd goal indeed and one that should not have happened.
do0rdie7 2 years ago
@robbaker8868 as stated in the FIFA book of regulations, the referee was not required to signal that it was an indirect free kick as it was inside the penalty box and therefore impossible to be direct as anyone who knows the first thing about football knows.
MartinSkrtelsDad 2 years ago
Sigh. There was absolutely NOTHING wrong with the ref's decision in the Porto game or in the game above. It really is fascinating to see just how many pundits, players and managers there are that don't seemingly know the actual rules of the game.

henry asked the ref if he could take the quick free kick i dont see the problem ? where as in the porto game once the ref had hold of the ball the quick free kick should not have been giving

WTF??
Compare this goal to porto's goal? not even close, cuz the ref tell him to get the freekick look at the ref hand, don't be silly guys, and look at the distance, btw compare this goal to porto's is stupid.... the porto goal might be legal but, the ref blocked Sol Campbell and the free kick was inside of the box, he should let them make the wall, and he didn't and he only pulled up his hand when the free kick was already taken.

if the players knows the rules of football, they know this could happen and they know that is legal... So as for Ruben Mical, Thierry Henry or even Lionel Messi against sporting i say they were really clever! Rulles are rulles. They used it wise for their own profit!
solano77 2 years ago
both goals are legal because the laws of fouls never said that the referee have give order to play the ball. the distance is a point not important.. If you ask me, its pretty??? i answer "no, it isn´t pretty but is football..." Hand of henry or Messi against Sporting in Past year is the same...
mkfilipe 2 years ago 2
@mkfilipe rules are dead. not all rules are fair and needs some correction. distance is important to those that are playing. a quick indirect free kick should never be allowed so close to the goal/net. it might as well be a penalty. henry scored from outside the box with more than half of the opposition (although not ready) formed a wall. that is pretty but to chelsea and their fans it might not be.
DiBee7j 2 years ago
No point trying to discuss which one has more likelihood of being scored... it's the intention that counts. Both goals are cheeky in using an opportunity not so fair to the other team but in keeping with the rules of the game and consistent with ref indications. I like to think that both goals are quite clever & that a team should never go to sleep in situations like this as Campbell & Fabiansky did. It is nice though to see that what goes around comes around though, I hope Porto knocks them out
