The problem with the Blackburn/Wigan thing is that, after Yakubu had walked away from the ball, had a Wigan player gone and lamped the thing upfield, Blackburn would no doubt have claimed the corner kick hadn't been taken and the Wigan player would no doubt have been booked.

Heads I win - tails you lose.

Same in the above incident no doubt - ungentlemanly conduct really.

In many, if not most, instances, the Goalkeeper can hardly be at fault for being the 'last man back'.

Leniency on that front is to be applauded is it not?

Exception to prove rule.

Good game though.

Imagine, if you will, an imaginary space in which the England team play with the same amount of

It is a nice space - inhabit it for a while - then go back to being an England fan.
