The "Denying an Obvious Goal-Scoring Opportunity" (DOGSO) law in football, also known as the Professional Foul Law, was introduced in 1990... For Lineker to say he had never heard the "Obvious" part before is embarrassing frankly.

It was a possible goalscoring opportunity but not necessarily an OBVIOUS goalscoring opportunity or an obvious error due to the direction of play & the presence of a defender etc. It probably should have been a red card but once it's not given on field it won't get overturned. Baffling that...

Impossible. And that's why it's not got involved for the Henderson handball.

Phenomenal player, loved watching him.

I'm still convinced there's a player in there. It wouldn't surprise me if he went on & did well elsewhere, but it seems Lampard doesn't believe he can get it out of him so probably best he moves on in the summer.

Used to be a huge fan in the late 90s, early 2000s (your photo brings the nostalgia!) but my interest has waned somewhat with the way the game has changed so significantly since. Orlando Magic are my team & the amazing duo of Shaq & Penny are my all time heroes!

It was always a bit of a joke that he was lumped in with Gerrard & Rooney tbf. His managerial career has been a 'mixed bag' to be kind & I amongst others had doubts, but he shouldn't have been seen as a laughing stock like the other 2. Agree with your 2nd point. Him leaving is not remotely on...

Yeah, doesn't have to be made public by that date necessarily, but the players have to be informed by the deadline.

Deadline is 3rd Saturday in May, i.e. tomorrow

I am led to believe they tried to sign him last summer..

100% & this was their gameplan all night, cynical fouls to stop our momentum.

Phenomenal tonight

Really, really poor tonight. Not just him but the whole officiating team. Giving Grimes offside when he's as good 3-4 yards on & not even remotely close & a foul (or handball?) against Wright for literally nothing probably the 'highlights'. Zero time added for time wasting or even the goals. We...

There have been some very nasty injuries in non-league in the last couple of seasons due to collisions with advertising boards.

Me too. He'd be a massively underwhelming signing.

They went 1-0 down at Elland Road too. Lots of factors in play on the day but it was a terrific comeback.

I appreciate it's difficult to tell on a written forum, but there was no insinuation. Records are there to be broken. Lampard was the man to do it before, here's hoping he can do it again!

The only time that has ever happened in the Championship.

We put one decent cross in yes. What about the other 32? I agree Simms isn't the best at attacking crosses but what we have seen quite a bit of under Lampard is he occupies defenders allowing others (usually Rudoni) more space to attack it. It just seems mad that we would choose to play that...

I know. Perhaps I should have been clearer but that's why I capitalised 'Big Chance' to reflect that I was talking about the statistics. Either way, it's a well established theme now that we struggle to break down teams that put everyone behind the ball & failing to even get a shot away is...
