Which is strange, considering that the rulebook is quite clear that Eto committed a foul and should of been booked. He's guilty of maybe having a lapse in concentration, but it wasn't his fault.
More interestingly - take a look at who the referee was. Anthony Taylor, the same referee that managed to infuriate both ourselves and the Everton fans just a few weeks ago. Seems that not only is he a c**t, but he also doesn't even know the rules of the game. It's inexcusable for a referee to not know the rules when they're that clear cut.
EDIT: The link would of helped...

Watching motd last night, they zoomed in on Taylor as Marshall was bouncing the ball and he was looking the other way up the pitch. The lino should have seen it though.
I see Marshall's point though, it was a very disappointing goal to give away, especially as the boys were playing brilliantly up to that point. It's a shame to concede such a soft goal from his point of view and if he just held onto the ball, Eto wouldn't have knicked it. Irrelevant of the rule, it's a silly thing to do and yes, in one sense, he is to blame.
On saying that though, I don't blame him. :-)

Actually, in hindsight, he probably should be apologising for letting it bother him for the rest of the match and letting another three in instead...

I don't care what the rules are, when an opposition player is that close, don't bounce the ball! There was no reason for it. It was utter stupidity, and as Red614 said, he never recovered from it.
I couldn't believe my eyes. One second we are watching Marshall pick up the ball, the camera goes to a reply and then suddenly they've scored. Such a soft soft goal to give away, the result could have been very different

The rules say differently Dave. Explanations given have indicated that the ball is deemed to be in the control of the keeper when he bounces it or or releasing it to kick from his hands. Apparently all this was clarified when one G. Best kicked the ball out of the hands of Gordon Banks in an International match. You should be old enough to remember that one.davewebber65 wrote:i always thought that if the ball was free and inplay it was anybodys as marshall had released the ball to bounce it. it was not kicked kicked out of his hands

Critiscise him all you like , by the rules
Of the game he was fouled. It really wouldn't matter if he forgot what game he was playing and started basketball dribbling around his penalty box - if anyone touched him it would still be a foul.

Although the ref admitted to not seeing the incident and relied on his linesman's opinion that Marshall dropped the ball (rather than just bouncing it) so Eto'o was entitled to challenge him. Clueless c**t.
