Bit 'one eyed'? Clist was fouled and was prevented from taking up a goal scoring opportunity."Ancient Colin" wrote:Well, one definition of a "soft" penalty would be one that we would be screaming blue murder about if it were given against us! Which I think would certainly have been the case here. So to say "definite penno" is a bit one eyed (and excessive on the letter n, too) and if every time there was contact like that refs gave fouls we wouldn't see a lot of football. Anyway, I do think that the red card was harsh, though: from the TV it looks like Clist's let the ball run away from him and, on a generous interpretation, it looks like one of the N'ton defenders could just about be getting back behind the keepeer onto the goalline.
Rather be 'one eyed' than bloody blind!
