No I'm not a "ridiculous character", I view his performances extra closely, as I was asked my opinion of him many seasons ago now, when he really was short! My opinion back then was that he was extremely acrobatic and had the makings of a good keeper. I pointed out he was short at that time but there was much time for him to grow. I think he was about 15 at that time.
Stop acting like one then.
I might be wrong but I didnt think Pym dived either way, Ian? It looked like a one on one with their forward to me, with him being favorite had he got his upper body behind the ball?
That's definitely a possibility.
Sorry, but this annoys me greatly. There was some retard sat behind me that works in hospitality saying it’s either a penalty or a card. Utter rubbish (he likes his opinion heard, which amuses me greatly as normally it’s utter b******s), is there no scenario where the attacker might have tripped, stumbled, fallen after the defender got the ball first or a million other instances before a dive is the obvious answer? Neither the player, his team mates or the manager (who went into histrionics every time a decision didn’t go their way) appealed that vociferously so perhaps he just fell over under the challenge?
I would normally agree, but I think in that instance it was very unlikely that the 'nam player just tripped, and giving a goal kick would suggest he didn't think City got the ball. I guess it's different for me as I was stood low down in the bank so had a clear view of the blokes heels being tapped. There is a scenario in which a player just falls, but that weren't it.
To me the sequence is thus:
I dont think anybodys singling out Pym for that goal Mike. He was totally let down by defenders in front of him in an appaling fashion. I just think his approach to the player who crossed that ball was a bit suspect. Flinders demonstrated how a one on one works when he blocked a shot from one of our players who was clean through in the second half - total commitment to block that ball.
