The Poolie Bunker

he'd still have been late-

heard myself and the lads shouting at the ref and linesman on football league roundup on Sky-

one minute later we all said it was a stonewaller sending off

Its a blessing in disguise if you ask me, its a very good defence but he is the only weak point

A second earlier you say...

Would you have gone for this ball?



Yellow card at best!

This is exactly how late Brackstone was. About a foot and a half.



The ball was travelling directly away from Brackstone but it was not travelling towards their player, who had to cut across to intercept it. In doing so he ran into the path of an oncoming train.
The only way out for Brackstone was to have given up the chase earlier, though I don't really see why he should as it was his ball. Going at full pelt there wasn't much he could do to avoid the Boston man.

But he did not make a lunge for him. He caught his trailing leg as you can see from the moment of impact.


The referee and linesmen, of course, did not have the advantage of slow motion. That's football.

I watched the Football League Review on SKY last night and still don't get why the gadgie said that it was Foley who was draggged down for their bloke to be sent off :?

Yup we spotted that too-getting Foley and Daly mixed up-easy mistake I guess
