Carey's sublime piece of skill. Thanks to Chris Webb.

That's why I used the word 'Football' - I know you're a slave to rules, being a referee and all that but some rules are stupid.

A bit like an 89th winner in a play off final and a referee books a player for taking his shirt off and waving it above his head. It's a rule, but a bleeds stupid one.

Imagine the pleasure that one slice of action (what 5 seconds) has given the footballing public, and some idiot wants to stop it being shown?????? Idiocy and nothing less.

It's not rules though Ian, it is the law of the land. Just because you believe it is stupid you can't simply ignore the copyright laws of this country.

I remember back to before there was a change in the rules over the publishing of fixture lists each summer. PASOTI was very much insistent that posters were to refrain from posting the fixtures for fear of an EFL backlash against the site for breeching their copyright. You were acting correctly back then so why the change of stance now?

Calm down, calm down!

The post being referred to was over on Facebook, relating to someone who posted a video of the Carey goal directly from iFollow during the game. The short clip of the filthy piece of skill by GC is absolutely fine, although should come with an 18+ rating.

Slightly different, this is a bunch of football (not only Argyle) fans loving watching a silky move, just after it happens. NOTHING should stop that, it's what makes football tick.

Sadly though Ian, the law does stop it..... or attempts to. Watching it is fine though, it is those who publish it who are breaking the law.

As someone has said though, PASOTI has only posted links to where it has been published illegally on social media so you are in the clear. If the EFL want to take on Facebook then that is up to them. I'm sure Mark Zuckerberg has enough Spondulix to pay their bill.

Why all the rhetoric about posting a clip?

Am I missing something?

Can't see a problem with what has been posted on Twitter and book of face

There has to be a name for it.

Any suggestions?

Caresque!!

 

[Ollieargyle9]

Ha, take all the credit? Someone messaged it to me and I put it on twitter. Some people are very sensitive. Haven’t had any contact from the club and wouldn’t expect any. Video had almost 700,000 views already. They can have the free PR.

Free PR? What sort of madness is that?

"Come to Home Park and see a player capable of this kind of skill" - yea no idea why the club would want such PR getting out there...

 

[Biggs]

Yep exactly.

I also think that Argyle could get their 'brand' or stars like Carey more visible in the city centre. Not quite the same, but I remember coming out of the main Rome railway station and seeing a 50ft tall image of Francesco Totti on the side of a building.

Possibly not the best time with potentially a few months left of his contract, but I'd love something similar (doing this skill) on the side of the Civic Centre or even on vacant shop units in the centre.

You'd barely know Argyle existed at the moment.

I don't understand the view that Carey has just come to life and that he's apparently 'back', he never went anywhere. Granted he hasn't scored as many goals, but he's still been working hard and contributing all season. He deserved his goal on Saturday and it's been coming.

 

[dunlop]

Should get a good airing on soccer am this Saturday .

 

[Tugboat]

So easy to watch 30 times in a row

 

[Dgaddy]

That tweet has now gone past a million views. Amazing!

 

[McQ]

Just so people know the story of why the video exists.

Matt a new member of the GA (recently converted but now definitely has the bug) was attending with his partner, son and step son. When Carey scored they were disappointed that they didn't video the free kick. Jack his son then decided to film Carey so they didn't miss the next thing. He was then in the prime location to capture the amazing piece of skill. Matt posted it to Twitter and FB and it somehow found its way to some other places online and from there Carey goes viral.

Time and place is everything
