Maguire knew exactly what he was doing.

And his arms weren't across his chest.

They were in front of his chest when the ball hit them. They weren't when the ball was kicked. That's very clearly hand-to-ball imo.

Referees take note.
I was at the game last night and for a neutral it probably would have been an exciting game.For me, even when we had a three goal lead i was still nervous knowing our defence has got more holes in it than a colander!
It's refreshing though you can celebrate a goal without VAR ruining it.

West Ham top of the Championship after thumping Wrexham. I really wish there was an option to win the thing and opt out of promotion into the PL, an over hyped soap opera full of egotistical dickheads. The football down here is fast and exciting, none of the histrronics you see at the top level and best of all, no bloody VAR.

We also wish you could win the Championship and not get promoted 😘

His arms were across his chest, not sticking out anywhere, and he didn't move his arm into the path of the ball. That looked accidental to me. And wouldn't have made any significant difference to the path of the ball either.

that would never be given in a million years if that was small Suffolk club scoring a goal against Man Utd at the Stretford end as an example... It would be as rare as an Arteta yellow card for wandering out of his technical area. :laugh:

yep thats the sum of all my football knowledge on this topic Ill let you return to your normal discussions ^_^

Serious question. Would you have thought this last season when the Hammers were threatened with relegation?

My lot, Rovers, have been kicking around in the Championship, with a season in League One, for the last14 years. Do I want us to be promoted? Like every fan I want the excitement of a promotion challenge and perhaps going up. That's in my heart. In my head I know this would be followed by a season of abject misery and all we would achieve would be a barrowload of cash. I'm not sure I want this.

From the mid 80s until +/- 2012 Rovers enjoyed succes many fans never experience. I had 25 years of nearly winning things, winning things, ups, downs, highs, lows, watching outstanding footballers managed by real football men. That's pretty damn good. I've been very lucky.

Yesterday we had a brilliant afternoon fast, attacking football from both sides, no histrionics, no rolling around feigning near death. Proper football and no VAR!!
