  1. And no, they did not retake it and there was no goal kick there was just a counter attack.

  2. No what actually happened was, Pires was supposed to pass the ball across to Henry as he was running in, so He could ta the ball in, But he(Pires) compleatly mis-kicked it though the ball did move,well more like bobbled. The rules state that once you touch the ball once you cannot touch it again, so he was left standing there like a moron in fron of tens of thousands of fans in the stadium and the watching football world. It was and always will be the worst Penalty ever, It will never be beaten.

  3. Oh, the unbridled joy. This moment unsettled Henry’s arrogance and Pires’ ego so much, they left! 😛

  4. No. I think it was a freekick 2 city. Definatly not a retake the match finished 1-0 arsenal due to a penalty earlier scored by Robert Pires

  5. Hmm. I think football rules say that ball isn’t in play until it has made a full spin, which didn’t happen. So, illegal spot kick (stops when shooting), yellow card and shoot again.

    Correct me if I was wrong (with some proof of course)

  6. Haha Henry to Pires at the end : “Pourquoi t’as pas tiré ?” (why u didnt shoot ?)

  7. I think City got a free kick. There defiantly wasn’t a retake. this was the first match i ever went to.

  8. yeah are u sure the referee didnt make them repeat? cause it sure looks like he did by the players reactions
