That's the way I'm still leaning, but they could be asking why they've let the ball get away from them in a dangerous position in injury time. My immediate thought when it happened was first that play had stopped, and then that the players had hesitated thanks to the whistle. I still think...

One confirmed so far

Without sound it looks like a regular mixup. It's impossible to say either way as observers.

That still isn't really conclusive in fairness, it shows the ball was near him but it was still zipping along thanks to the Bolton player shanking it. You could quite easily pass it off as two players assuming the other will cover as much as you could that they stopped due to a whistle.

I hear we've been stockpiling pies in a secret bunker

I don't think anything can be conclusively proven either way, only the players themselves can know. There definitely was a whistle blown, but that's about as factual as it can ever get.

Can't ignore that whistle distraction or not, we still should have stopped what happened after that point. Comes with the desperation and tiredness that Slade mentioned.

Lameiras had a belting cameo overall didn't he? At that point two defenders raise their arms as if imploring, although whether it's because of a whistle or because a Bolton player's been allowed to collect the ball in a danger area in injury time is up for debate. Another 10 pages anyone?

My main disappointment with this whole thing is that it's almost been a full day and I've only just now thought to make a Father Damo reference

Yeah I wasn't keen on that, it had the air of one of those internet vigilante witchhunts that invariably see the wrong person getting dog's abuse.

I'd have a rule of thumb that things people say elsewhere (at least under a real name) probably shouldn't be posted here in order to criticise them unless they've got the opportunity to respond.

The two players hesitated which allowed the ball to reach the Bolton player, by which point it was evident the referee hadn't blown up.

All the NFC teams have had moments of brilliance and utter hopelessness, it does look harder to call than most years.

The whistle thing isn't an invention of Sky Blues Talk.

I loved Murphy, seeing him go mad at players was always fun too. I bet he still calls Chris Hussey in the dead of night to give him shit down the phone

It was an odd one. To kill off a game either way I'd have thought Gadzhev to either retain the ball or Jones to go directly at them. Instead we got Lameiras who ballsed up both approaches.

Seeing him outleap the defender was impressive enough, the composure to pick out the cross as well was great and tallied up with the positive stuff Burton fans were saying. Credit to Reid for heading back across goal too, his decision making at times was horrendous but he nailed it then.

One positive from the game yesterday is that both our goals were created thanks to individual moments of quality from Beavon and Haynes. Having the capacity to create goals rather than hope they're gifted to you is promising.

This forum is weighed down with all the needless and endless feuds, it's so fucking dull.

Just realised a win over Detroit would see a trip to Atlanta rather than Dallas. Possible chance to right the wrong from the same game four years ago, that late FG still burns.
