A lot of us screamed for him to be sent off, but in fairness, it
would have been a harsh call. From memory it was the same
bloke who got the 2nd booking for pulling Daniel's shirt
(not for running into him, as the commentators seemed to think) so
he can have no complaints about the sending off.
All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

The question was asked of the referee afterwards as to 'what part
of denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity did that not fit'

it was outside the box, and from where i was the other defender
looked like he was going to make it across and challenge cov.
Got denied a chance to shoot, but wouldn't have called it an
obvious goal scoring opportunity

Last man is not especially relevant and is not a phrase
contained within the laws. The key is "obvious goal-scoring
opportunity". Being the last man or not can play a part in the
referee forming an opinion on whether a situation is an obvious
goal-scoring opportunity. However, you obvious goal-scoring
opportunity can exist without being the last man and vice
versa.

I mean to add - Doc, did the laws at one time contain the phrase
"last man"? It is such a widely quoted interpretation that I wonder
if it is one of those things that changed?

I always based an obvious goal scoring on the following.
Must be within 30 yards of goal
Must have possession
Must be going directly towards goal
Must have only the keeper to beat
Fifa state on page 123
Referees should consider the following circumstances when deciding whether to send off a player for denying a goal or an obvious goalscoring opportunity:
� The distance between the offence and the goal
� The likelihood of keeping or gaining control of the ball
� The direction of the play
� The location and number of defenders
� The offence which denies an opponent an obvious goalscoring opportunity may be an offence that incurs a direct free kick or an indirect free kick.

not too sure if the rule really reflects real intepretations, last man plays a part in all our minds and in all honesty the decisions we see week in and our in comps like the premiership, would have been a harsh call in my mind to receive a straight red for that

he could have easily got 3 yellows (Mr Poll might have obliged)
so clearly he deserved to have an early bath,
he certainly (Mark Elrick's favourite word) received a rousing send off from the YF crew

I havent seen a replay since the game, but by memory, it was
outside the box, another defender was closing in, he didnt have
control of the ball and a goal was far from a certainty. So didnt
look like a sending off red, but a fair chance for a yellow, got
his deserts in the end
