Man FridayFiNeRaInIan Royal That is shocking if true, there is absolutely no way that's gone out.
Le Fondre is blocking off the keeper a bit as it comes over, but it was a tricky one to come and claim and he didn't actually seem to be making much effort to try and get round ALF.
Looks a good goal to me. But then they could easily have got a penalty, even if the right decision was made, and had one great save from Fed and another cleared off the line.
Welcome to the championship...where you can kick the S**T out of everyone else on the pitch yet you even brush a keeper ( who already has an advantage in being able to us his hands) and its a foul. Idiots are in charge of modern day football and we are seeing the repercussions of that. An absolutely baffling law protecting keepers when they already have an advantage in being able to catch the ball in the first place.
You're missing the point big-time. The ref argued that the foul on the keeper was the reason for disallowing the goal and then later (apparently) said it was because the cross had gone out of play. Whatever the supposed "basis" of his decision, he disallowed the goal not because he perceived there to be ANY infringement but simply because he felt on reflection that he'd got the penalty wrong 2 minutes earlier. He didn't cancel the goal for what he really believed to be an infringement. That's the point.
Where is this quote of which you all speak in which the referee contradicted himself? Secondly, my post was a general rant at the silly protection goalkeepers in general receive in the area. If our goal was disallowed because of that, then my earlier post is entirely valid.
Waiting on evidence the referee blew for it going out of play. Nothing to do with " missing the point".. peculiar post.
