I think we’ll have to agree to disagree TL. Wilson missed another opportunity actually inside the box after this so not sure it was an obvious scoring opportunity? And by the way, Wilson had his arms held aloft and looking at the ref to emphasis his claim.
Saw championship highlights last night and Bradley Dack did exactly what you don’t like in order to get his man sent off..
I love footy but hate this cheating business, it ruins the game, even more than Gavin Ward did
And i agree with you Jimmy! I’m not sure it was a ‘nailed on’ obvious scoring opportunity. From where i was sitting he would have to have been a lot better footballer than he demonstrated yesterday for it to have been even 80% chance of going in.[/quote]
Whether he has the ability to have scored is irrelevant – he’d have got the ball in the penalty area and been in a position for an obvious scoring opportunity. Whether that opportunity had fallen to Messi, Wilson or someone who can’t hit a cow’s arse with a banjo doesn’t matter. The key word is opportunity and not that they would have scored[/quote]
TL – thanks for this. It is great having you on this forum to give us clarity and accuracy. If you sit any where near me you will know I haven’t really got much of a clue, indeed you will have gathered that from my postings here – so thanks for giving me a bit more of a clue. It is helpful.[/quote]
Most people who saw me referee said I didn’t have a clue either!!!
It is interesting when you referee how different supporters/players/managers/pundits think some laws are to be interpreted to how referees are told to interpret them by FIFA & FA
