Talk:AS Adema 149–0 SO l'Emyrne

What was the controversial decision?

The article currently only says that this was in protest of a "controversial decision". Could a knowledgeable editor explain in the article what this was, in detail? Comet Tuttle (talk) 19:10, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

I've expanded it with info from this subsequent article - which explains it as a pre-arranged protest against decisions in earlier matches in a round-robin tournament. Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:19, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Excellent, thank you. If any further detail is available about what exactly the disputed penalty was in the previous match, that would be helpful. Comet Tuttle (talk) 18:42, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Of more importance imho, who

exactly “scored“ the “goals“? I can't find that info anywhere.

Does anybody know? 82.113.106.42 (talk) 16:35, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

No-one did. You can't score 149 own goals in 90 minutes. That's one every 36 seconds. It's a fairytale. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C7:6393:B201:79D7:C506:33D:2BC8 (talk) 00:12, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Fake

An own goal every 36 seconds for 90 minutes? Clearly made up for publicity. Show me video evidence or it's another example of this crappy project repeating nonsense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C7:6393:B201:79D7:C506:33D:2BC8 (talk) 00:11, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Here is the Reuters report cited in the article: "SOE's coach Ratsimandresy Ratsarazaka orchestrated the protest from the stands as the Antananarivo-based side began repeatedly firing shots into their own net from the opening whistle.... Adema's players reportedly stood around looking bemused, doing nothing to stop the opposition from self-destructing.." Ghmyrtle (talk) 14:18, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
