Why go down we were winning and he was through on goal.Deffo a pen took his foot away clear as day on the replay
If the keeper has one hand on top of the ball and it’s on the floor he is deemed to have control. I believe that’s always been the rule.I don’t think so. I think that’s only for unsporting conduct. Todays was fair game. He wasn’t standing there holding it like Dibble was for Crosby’s cheeky header.
Yeah that looked ropey. He knew what he was doing there.His son should have had a red as well for a deliberate elbow.
Penalty yes, red not so sure. Both players were manhandling each other and smith seemed to lose his footing and tangle wih Longs legs.Our penalty decision was correct.
I do agree with him it was a penalty for them and a sending off BUT when you're up there you get the luck. For 90 minutes we out played them and sent them home in embarrassment
The old "grass between the ball and line" chestnut. It proves nothing. It was debated to death during the WC.I’m 99% sure the ball crossed all the way over the line. I could see grass between the ball and the line even with my poor eyesight. The keeper never left go of it. He just pulled it back and turned back into the box with it. The linesman and the ref should both have seen it pretty clearly.

To be fair to the ref Shane Long has a 15 year reputation for taking a dive, which might have played on the refs mind.
Absolutely no reason why we didn’t get the pen for the stamp on archers foot and I’d like to see the GK potential handball from another angle, which would have been a red
Do you think? It was right in front of me and it didn't look like there was much in it?Theirs was a penalty, not sure it’d have been a red though?
Ours was a penalty, soft but it is. The Archer claim was also a penalty from where I was sat, and I’d like to see the keeper incident again.
Seeing grass doesn't mean the ball was fully over the line. Imagine looking down on itI’m 99% sure the ball crossed all the way over the line. I could see grass between the ball and the line even with my poor eyesight. The keeper never left go of it. He just pulled it back and turned back into the box with it.

It was definitely inside the box when he had his hand on it and mcgree kicked the ball from his handfrom my view point it looked outside the box
100% the ball didn’t cross the line at any point.I’m 99% sure the ball crossed all the way over the line. I could see grass between the ball and the line even with my poor eyesight. The keeper never left go of it. He just pulled it back and turned back into the box with it. The linesman and the ref should both have seen it pretty clearly.
It looked the same as the Forss penalty, Long gets marginally ahead & then moves in front of Smith to initiate contact and goes down.Reading should have had a penalty and smith sent off watching it back again
I don’t think “last man” was ever the rule? Unless that was the case when first introduced. I think that’s something commentators continuously reference which doesn’t help.I thought that, when I heard Ince talking about red card I wondered what he was on about.
I then twigged and thought he must be thinking last men = red card. Not anymore.
Oh. Right. Sorry.Yes and If my auntie had balls…
Look it wasn’t given so nothing to discuss.
Ince is just bitter
