Keeper guilty of moving goalposts

IFK Goteborg goalkeeper Kim Christensen could be in hot water after moving the posts during a Swedish first division game in order to make the goal smaller.

The Danish goalkeeper was caught by TV cameras pushing the posts toward each other before a match against Orebro.

Referee Stefan Johannesson spotted the posts had been moved a few centimetres about 20 minutes into the game and pushed them back into the right place.

Christensen later said he had done the same thing before several other games.

He was spotted using his feet to push the bottom of each post slightly inwards.

The Swedish Football Association is investigating the incident.

"I have never heard anything like this before," said Swedish FA's disciplinary chief Kheneth Tallinger. "It's unique."

IFK Goteborg drew 0-0 with Orebro and top the table on goal difference with just a few weeks of the season to go.

Well he was rather skilled at moving the goal posts in Languish threads.

I don't get it.

Not just a few centimeters! See for yourselves, it's a full goal-post-width inwards.

They have also admitted moving the opposing team's goalposts outwards by kicking at them during offensive corners!

The disciplinary board will reach their decision on October 1st. Christensen better receive a suspension for several games, and IFK Göteborg a reduction of points.

The villains and criminals of IFK Göteborg have already done their best to deny us tickets to the final game of the season. If it is the game to decide who will be champions, as it very well could be, many AIK fans will go there regardless and roam the streets outside the arena. As a student of law I can not not endorse violence, but razing that stinking fish-mongrels-burgh to the ground would certainly allow them to build something less hideously ugly in it's stead.


For those with knowledge of Swedish, some music for your ears:

For all lovers of justice, I am pleased to announce that IFK Göteborg is down 1-0 against Kalmar

[Pat]

1-1 now, but at least IFK Göteborg got a man sent off for taking a dive, so there's still some hope they get a well-deserved defeat

[Pat]

2-1 Kalmar

Game over, 2-1 to Kalmar  which brings us to...


Miglia's Short Introduction to Contemporary Swedish Football (Tm)

While there are also provincial teams of little note, we shall mainly concern ourselves with the big three Stockholm clubs. These are Djurgården, Hammarby, and the oldest and largest, AIK.

Djurgården and Hammarby are both crap, as is evident from their current position in the Swedish league

AIK is going for gold, and will lead the league by three points if we win against Djurgården on monday, which we should, seeing as they're crap.

[Josquius]

That you'd be able to do this to the goalposts in first division Swedish football says more about Swedish football than anything really, I'd think pretty much every pro team here at home has fixed goalposts...


edit- oh shit, I'm in Sweden aren't I.

[Pat]

All arenas in the top division have their goal-posts fixed except three (or so I'm told) - I don't know why these are the exception.

[Pat]

If you're anywhere near Stockholm, you should get your ass to the Swedish National Arena of Råsunda this monday. AIK is fighting for gold, DIF is fighting for their existence, a lot is at stake and the atmosphere will be dense.
