Brogue Radio commentary said the ball went out in the build up to one of our goals. That my be why they are blaming the officials. Anyone confirm?
It certainly looked like it in free play.
But on the replays I don't think we can say "the whole of the ball over the whole of the line".
The reffing was actually pretty good, he's generally quite solid that guy IIRC.
A ridiculous thing to complain about though as it's pretty immaterial. Whether it went two millimetres further to actually be the whole ball over the whole line or not had absolutely zero impact on the game, except the play would not have continued, but it didn't stop or confuse anyone. Hal intercepted beautifully and 'ran' forward with it, keeping it just about (in my view) in play (whole ball whole line etc). That happened TWENTY SECONDS before the goal, in which time the game had slowed down, the Fulham defence had fully regrouped, (because Hal is slow as f**k) and there were a good five or six passes around the box before the WONDERFUL inch perfect lob from Hal to Ejaria, which Fulham's regrouped and ready defence were unable to deal with and Ejaria majicked in.
Totally ridiculous to cry about how the game might have panned out differently had a throw in been given so long before.
They should've dealt with the attack and shouldn't have passed so sloppily to be intercepted by snail Hal.
Press high and dick around, and I'm sorry but you're gonna lose the ball and we're going to attack. Stop whinging you bad losing London pcunts.
