He should have gone there...

 

[George Reilly's Hairpiece]

I think yellow is right. Can't say for absolute certain that it was on target so the ref can't say a clear goal scoring opportunity has been denied.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

From a neutral's perspective I'm glad he wasn't sent off but I do think it was a red. The defender wasn't getting there to stop it if it was on target.

Correct.

No way you can tell that's on target.

 

[Chris FGR]

Not a certain goalscoring chance - therefore not a red.

He's still shit though

It was a shot at goal! How much clearer a goalscoring opportunity can you get?

 

[Andy Harrier]

It looked like a shot by Palmer to me so that would certainly be a goalscoring opportunity. Should have been a red.

 

[Master D]

I honestly think they would do better with Mildenhall in goal and being down to 10, so Grimsby should be thanking the ref if anything.

Has to be on target though.

 

[Andy Harrier]

Has to be on target though.

How could you tell in that split second from either the referee or the assistant's angle that it definitely was NOT on target?

 

[Harrier94]

Has to be on target though.

No he's through on goal and has a shot. No difference from a shot where the keeper handles it outside the area or a last man taking him out. It was a clear goal scoring opportunity. The ref's bottled it.

 

[Ciderup]

This is going rather well at the moment. Keeper should have gone though.
C'mon the Mariners!

 

[George Reilly's Hairpiece]

How could you tell in that split second from either the referee or the assistant's angle that it definitely was NOT on target?

I can't, so therefore it follows that equally I can't say it was on target. Therefore I'd have to guess hence not clear.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

1-1 against the play

 

[Master D]

Wow. Game on.

 

[Nansan]

Get in

 

[rudebwoyben]

How did that get in?

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

That is poor from Palmer. What a tart

 

[DarkSithLord]

Poor defending from Grimsby there 1-1!

 

[Whitewall]

Nice one Rovers

 

[CrazyImp]

That is dogshite defending Grimsby. Terrible.

 

[Pliny Harris]

Great finish.

 

[Ciderup]

FFS!

 

[JJH]

The 11 men that should be 10 equalise.

c***.

He's not been denied the opportunity to shoot, he had the shot. It's simply then down to whether it is going in. If it was clearly going wide and a player handled it, everyone would say yellow.

 

[Andy Harrier]

I can't, so therefore it follows that equally I can't say it was on target. Therefore I'd have to guess hence not clear.

So if there is a chance that it is on target, as the referee cannot conclusively say otherwise, surely it is a goalscoring opportunity?

 

[Southern Shayman]

It was a shot at goal! How much clearer a goalscoring opportunity can you get?

Read what you've just written. It has to be on target or it's not clear is it.

You can't send someone off in a final over a decision you can never be sure about

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Who cares, it was 10 minutes ago. Let it go.

 

[Cardsfan]

How could you tell in that split second from either the referee or the assistant's angle that it definitely was NOT on target?

If there's doubt, you can't give it.

 

[George Reilly's Hairpiece]

So if there is a chance that it is on target, as the referee cannot conclusively say otherwise, surely it is a goalscoring opportunity?

Yes but not obvious which is what merits a red card.

 

[CrazyImp]

Why hasn't Taylor squared that, the selfish reprobate.
