That's not what he meant though, if I'm reading things correctly. Shearergol is saying that if the pen is put wide or in the back of the net, it doesn't matter if there is an encroachment. If we scored as we did, Gayles encroachment should have meant a retake. If Ritchie had missed but a Burton player had encroached then it should have been retaken, if Ritchie had scored when a Burton player had encroached it should have stood. Players from both teams encroaching means a retake. The rules are understood. What I mean is Gayle's encroachment had no impact on the penalty. Had the penalty been saved and Gayle scored the rebound, that in my opinion is when the rule should be applied. I'm not doubting what the rule is, I'm stating what I think it should be. I know what you mean to be fair but personally i actually agree with this rule, or players will bomb in the box all the time before the ball is struck.

Encroaching should only come into play if there's a rebound. Why does it even matter if a defender is in the box if the player scores or puts it wide? It doesn't. Doesn't it? So defenders are allowed to do it??? Effectively yeah. If the goal is scored, the defenders' actions are rendered meaningless by the rule above. Think I've just misinterpreted your point tbh. Spot on Dave, the defenders action are indeed rendered meaningless if the goal is scored.

This is actually one of the worst decisions ever made, not decisions about a what's foul, offside or whether a foul was in or outside the box. I mean in regard to basic refereeing and understanding the actual rules. This was a basic rule that a ref should know, and it's never ever ever been a free kick for encroachment. For a ref to get it so wrong, well he should be sacked from professional refereeing, it's an absolute disgrace and utterly ridculous that he could even think he was in the right. And what makes it worse is he consulted the linesman and 4th official and none of them could get it right, all of them should be removed from professional football.

Sounds good atm That'll be most likely because no one is using it. They've got capacity issues to sort out. Didn't it sound awful before the game last time? As someone pointed out, it was all Norman Collier.

Oh that's it, now play Diame in CM instead of the ginger knobcheese

If we get promoted this season the only target for next season should be to stay up. The season after is where we'll see what he's really capable of if we're playing in the Premiership. Spot on this.

Not sure we're limping over the line as we are now 10 points clear of third, when we were only 3 a few games ago. I understand the sentiment as we're not playing well mind, it's getting the job done though and i suppose that's what counts right now.

Absolutely beyond me why any of you choose to listen to the downbeat f***er. Not sure we have any other choice when it's not on tv like, it can be fun listening to Ando trying to pronounce normal words at time though Can't exactly choose when it's the only option ffs Absolutely, still at least he likes life more than Garry Birtles

Colback gives away a stupid needless free kick after tackling a player from behind as they run away from him That must whacked on his gravestone.
