only it didn't.
Great post RCF.

Yet again Dave W you have got it spectacularly wrong - my comment earlier was nothing to do with an emotion state and everything to do with fact.

It led to a goal, that the goal was disallowed doesn't mean the tactic didn't work, it just means it didn't result in the goal it very easily could've. Does a player not count as having given away a penalty if it gets missed?

I wasn't happy with the decision in the heat of the moment, as I'm sure many of us weren't, but ref's can't start deciding what a goalkeeper can save or not save. This one was clear cut but it sets a dangerous precedent and you only need to start having ones where it's contentious and it will cause problems.
I've lost count of the times I've seen goals given where I thought if I'd been referee or linesman, I'd have disallowed the goal because the attacker had impeded the goalkeepers vision. The whole scrutiny of the minutiae is becoming so over the top that they might as well dispense with the referee and have a robot like one of those robotic lawn mower things buzzing around the pitch.

If anybody had offered me 5 wins from the first 7 games this year I would have, not only, bitten their hands off but possibly have gnawed mightily on their calves and nibbled lightly around their ears. Dean has brought a breath of fresh air to this club that has been missing since the Brian Little revolution. Long may he reign.
