Its interesting tbh, its only when I posted that I realized i had always called it the D when playing with friends. Just guessing but maybe its because as kids (or even now but more so back then), when you had to shout for a pen in hindi, you said its inside the D rather than the box, perhaps because its shorter and easier to say.
What has actually happened to Joe Hart?

Varun is a little bit confused, bless him.
He wants the D
It appears he was actually referring to the box after all. Silly me.
You refer to a box as a D?
This thread.
You remind me of when I lived in Darjeeling, you would see an Indian politician on TV, I used to be convinced they had no idea that they had just said दंड बॉक्स
feck that's easy for you to say
By the time this story reaches the red tops it'll be Nastasic's fault.
Ther was a young girl from Darjeeling

The last three pages have been brilliant!
Anyway I'm not sure what has happened to him?
He was clearly the best goalkeeper in the league when City won the title. He has suddenly turned into Ben Foster after that.

feck me, I can't believe how much debate was had over the D. I thought it was going to be 3 pages of laughing at Hart.
I think it's just a very clear case of letting it all go to his head. He's no competition for his place, he's been England's number 1 and as such the media have been very kind to him regarding criticism, and we already know he's an arrogant bastard. I think the fact he keeps repeating the same sort of error (in which he goes all hero-mode) is more down to the fact he wants to prove how good he is by doing unnecessary things, and subsequently cocks up, rather than just getting on with it and doing what's needed.
Wow just seen the goal...
funny shit... Hart fecking up again.
For sure the money guys from Citeh already contact Iker's agent...

Amuses me when people post this despite there being relentless media coverage about Hart over this season and big debate over whether he should have remained number one for club and country.
Regardless then its hard to establish the degree to which either is at fault. Its largely dependent on the communication between the two which I don't think any of the replays show, if Hart called him to head it back, then yeah he's at fault entirely, if he told him to leave it or called for Nasatasic clear it then Nastasic is entirely at fault, or the more likely that neither committed to making a decision and ended up with the mistake, in which case both are at fault.
How is Nastasic in any way to blame? He certainly wouldn't have been expecting Hart to have been there and even if Hart had shouted Torres was too close for him to leave it.
This thread.tbf to Varun, In India, the box is referred to as 'D' for some reason.
Well I've missed that coverage - it's only very recently they've started questioning him.
As I said in my post it largely depends on the communication - if Hart told him to leave it or clear it he shouldn't have headed it back and you can't really blame Hart - particularly as I say, if the instruction was to leave, if Hart told him to head it back then its Hart's fault. Or if as most likely happened neither really communicated anything, well then Hart shouldn't have committed himself and Nastasic quite clearly should have headed the ball out for, or at least towards corner rather than trying a header back to the keeper he can quite clearly see is not in a position to catch the ball.
Whether Hart called for Nastasic to leave it is irrelevant. Hart charged out unnecessarily and Nastasic had to do something. Even if Hart had called for it, Torres was too close to for Nastasic to just let the ball go, but because Hart had gone all kamikaze there was nowhere for Nastasic to head it other than where he did. Had Hart not come charging out like a loon unnecessarily then there wouldn't have been a problem.
Well i'd have to disagree there then, on the replay i'd say if Nastasic did leave it, Hart would probably just about got there first given Torres would have been blocked off by Nastasic, to be fair there's no need for him to come but certainly its a communication issue that both could and should do better on. Regardless he certainly could have headed the ball further away from goal and towards the corner rather than lobbing it over Hart, he had time too but as is the situation he probably panicked. He certainly has enough time facing the goal to see the goalkeeper sprinting towards him to know that a lobbing header isn't the most sensible thing to do.
Hart fecked up big style, Nasty should have had a look (rule 2) but he did at least guide his header wide of the goal (rule 1).
Total confidence car crash, what was he thinking rushing out to the D.
Just seen it, what a calamity. Both at fault, but wasn't any need for Hart to come out. Cost his team 2 points.
It's mostly, almost entirely Hart's fault. Stupid decision to come out when it was clear there was loads of backspin on the lofted clearance from Willian.
I was almost going to smile at that pic, Deco, until I saw whose 'genius' was behind it.
he ran down the pitch similarly to how de gea did yesterday, they both were looking to clear the ball but the only difference was that de gea was successful. 1 or 2 years ago de gea and joe would have been in opposite roles. Im very happy that hart and nastastic made this error.
He was rushing out from the D. I think these last few pages have established that
Love how they wrote eurosport on the D.Just think if DDG has made that mistake today, it would be all over Sky Sports News and 4 page spreads in tomorrows papers, look at Sky Sports website and there is very little about it.
