PNE 3rd goal


Recommended Posts

From our end it looked like Cisak had been fouled but I appreciate we were a long way away. The reaction of the Latics players indicated though they felt some foul play had taken place.

 

Eyresy said on BBC Lancs after the game Phil Brown would have been very angry if it had been given against them, which to me meant it was probably a foul but the jaundiced one has said it wasn't...

My gut reaction was that it was a howler from Cisak. Didn't seem to be much contact. Will have to see it again though.

just seen the 3rd goal on ssn and it looked very soft

 

9 times out of 10 it will be given as a foul on the goal keeper

 

the problem is keepers expect it to be given in their favour nowadays evertime

 

if cisak is a little stronger in the challenge ans shows more authorityby making the contact with the striker himself he would probably have got the decision

 

possible contact but poor keeping imo...oh well

Agree , it was simply an eye off the ball moment of panic which cost us dearly ( then again he made a few cracking saves first half!

You may have hit the nail on the head there, I think Cisak needs to works his upper body strength, but he's only young and there's not much wrong apart from that IMO.

From what I've seen, I think its one of those where yes sometimes it gets given as a foul but it probably wasn't. Especially as if the forward doesnt touch him I think it still goes in; Cisak gets under it too much and it just sneaks under the bar with a significant amount of dip.

From one of the clips on YouTube, I think Cisak made a mess of it.

 

Roll on the proper BBC piccies later!

 

In the 1960s Latics full back Bob Ledger was a specialist in 'up and unders', causing panic in the opposition goalmouth as the ball came down with snow on it. I'm amazed this tactic is hardly used today, but then I guess it's not in the F.A.coaching manual and many coaches can't see beyond that.

It's one of those where little contact makes a big impact. The PNE player knows that he can't push him in the net so he stands so close to him that he becomes an irritant to the goalie - increasing the chance of a mistake. If anything it's unsportsmanship from their player and the ref should have gave a foul.

 

Still... made part of one the best games in years a little more interesting.

The way I see it, he was positioned properly, didn't appear to take his eye off the ball, and if it had been possible to catch it he would have done so.

Got to disagree, Diego. I think he DID take his eye off the ball. It was a routine catch, but he seemed more worried about the forward than the ball.

 

Ah well. That's only his first blunder, hopefully there'll be no more for a long time yet....
