Vetra Vilnius Not Too Worried About Fair Play

By: Daryl | July 20th, 2008

This is from a UEFA Cup qualifier between Lithuania’s Vetra Vilnius (yellow) and Norway’s Viking F.K. (blue). Seeing a Vetra player injured, the Viking keeper (possibly Thomas Myhre) sportingly throws the ball out of play. But then Vetra’s Anatoliy Ostap not so sportingly lobs the keeper from the throw in.

Hard to know for sure whether the Vetra player did so deliberately or whether he was just trying to pass it back. But if it was an accident then Vetra didn’t let Viking get one back. The game finished 1-0 to the Lithuanians. Viking get a shot at revenge in the second leg on 31st July.

If that was a shot on goal, it was ballsy. To me it seems it was a pass to the keeper who was to far out of his goal. And then when they got the goal, well, it's hard NOT to take it right?

Something similar happened in an Ajax Eredivisie game some time ago, Vertonghen being the culprit

Well, it's too early to say anything about it. We need to consider that if Vetra allowed Viking to score back, the final score would be 1-1. This would put Viking in the advantage position of proceeding to the next round on away goal (assuming it finish 0-0 in second leg). So if Vetra were nicely enough to allow Viking to score from the very first minute in the return leg, fair play to them. If not, well, that's football. :D
