class. And it was our very own Stephen Ireland that caught him!

I didn't know our very own ireland was a ref in sweden, maybe explains why he looks tired..

Next derby we can ask for him to ref the game, looks like he knows what he doing, caught the guy trying to cheat

I was actually watching that game! I've laughed alone at that ref looking like Stevie for a good while now.

Huge debate going on about this in Sweden right now. Lots of ex-keepers coming out and confessing it that they did it alll through their carreers. It's been going on for years and years - a bit strange that noone's picked it up until now.

Why would he do that? Its hardly a few inches and theres a 1/100 chance that it may have made a difference, but to do it on live tv and not expected to get caught is incredibly niave

What happened to him though? Did he get a match ban?

Actually, when the post isn't in straight angle but twisted inwards, if the ball hits the woodwork it's much more likely to bounce out rather than in. That's the idea, not so much making the goal smaller. That trick was taught to us already in youth football!

I think UEFA should take action, look at camera replays and he should be publicly ashamed and hanged. There should be moral outrage and three week long debate whether or not keeper has a small cock and he is compensating for that.

I learned that as well when I played keeper in my school days... all of the posts during the games were actually in the ground so it was impossible to do, but during training it makes you look like god with gloves on!

Hey, it doesn't matter where the posts are , does it ?

We we're robbed allright but this is unbelievable. I bet Sad ole Rodnose was laughing then as well.
CTID!!

They are talking about a 4 match ban for the keeper.

It was on paper here that they are going to decide on it in a month and he is going to play until then. Considering there's 6 games to go in Swedish league and IFK Gothenburg are leading the table on same points with AIK, it seems that they are going to try and carry it out so that it doesn't affect the title fight this season. Needless to say that IFK Gothenburg are more or less Rags of Sweden.
