Blades v Forest - Match Highlights

[grafikhaus]

Did that stop at 1-0 (just after Duffy's cross/shot) for anyone else?

Not convinced about that red at all. I did have a little chuckle at 'well, the intent is there' after all those years of slating Rob Styles. A sign that our look is turning?

Unlike Stevie G 'winning' that penalty because Morgan gave him a dirty look, Benalouane - although he possibly didn't make contact with Goldy - threw McG off-balance trying to avoid said contact. Similar to only a yellow being given to Leeds' keeper when he brought down Sharp. In both cases, the defenders had no chance of getting back to cover the goal. Both should have been reds.

Deffo a seemingly off, mcgoldrick in front of forest defenders when brought down

Keith Andrew on Sky after the match did a very detailed analysis of the incident and in particular where the Forest defenders were. From that it was quite clear that Didsy was ahead of them and was as certain as can be to get to the ball before them had he been able to continue his run. He concluded that the red card was the correct decision even though Didsy still had a lot to do and may well have knocked the ball a bit to far left so he would have been on a tight angle but that doesn’t matter as it would still have been a goal scoring chance which was denied. It’s refreshing to have a sensible and well shown analysis from a pundit as so often they are just awful and you wonder whether they actually know or understand the rules!

The second one shows how far the goalie moves across to cover the near post that frees up the space for Enda to place it in the far corner.
