Sunderlands Penalty

[BensGrandad]

Having watched it on Sky I belive that it should have been ordered to be retaken. I player, I think it was Bridge was nearly level with the ball when Lawrence hit it or are my eyes deceiving me.

dont think it would have really mattered

 

[BensGrandad]

Neither do I but when I was a referee I watched the goalkeeper because then they couldn't move and I told my linesman to watch for encroachment. What was the assistant ref doing at the time.

Being only one down it would have been easier to get a draw as that goal killed us off

There was another penalty incident, when OGH was quite clearly held - ref had quite a good view, and gave a free kick to Sunderland. A few minutes later Knight was tugged back by his shirt (outside the area) and the ref gave a free kick to Sunderland.

As it happened, though, neither incident deserved to change the result - the better team won.

just need to get something from derby

 

[Halftime Oranges]

Things should be better virgs back, play 442 should be more solid even though we wern't shamed against sunderland.

Definite penalty now I've seen it, Kuipers was very close to saving it though.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

what happened with there first

 

[Beach Hut]

Hit the upright, bounced out and they were quicker to react.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

they had 3 shots tho looked like a mistake by kuipers, wasnt really watching tv

Yes all well and good, but we would have to have SCORED to get a draw. You can't tell me that the extra goal changed our tactics to stop us scoring - cos we still didn't.
