Re: Grandstand: Salford v Exiles
121He seems to me to position himself slightly further off his line than most, maybe because he isn't the tallest, trusting his reflexes and narrowing the striker's angle. I think he psyched them out.

This is a very good point indeed. Has anyone noticed in recent games that Twine and Sheehan are targeted with petty fouls that break up any flow and slow any forward movement? It’s most probably a planned tactic.George Street-Bridge wrote:One of the best keeping performances I can remember. If Wellens's team is so good, why did they need to commit 27 fouls?

Looked soft but there was contact. You win some and lose some and it makes up for the ref mistakes v Orient.

That gives a clearer view of their defender clearly changing his line to barge into Cooper with no intent to go for the ball. doing such a silly thing obviously put s you at risk of giving away a pen. Academic now pen given and scored.Nathanncfc wrote:
Last 30 seconds shows the “foul” for the penalty at a clearer angle in case any one hasn’t seen it. Personally didn’t think it was a pen at the time but the Salford player clearly pushes Cooper into Ellison. A bit soft but can actually see why he gave it to be fair.
I don't think Ellison was involved it looked like Cooper & Demetriou to me.Nathanncfc wrote:
