I suppose I would. I generally think in terms of results rather than points (i.e. the goal was the difference between a draw and a win, accepting, of course, that in reality most games will have many many moments that feed into the actual result and the "without that goal" discussion is all...

A) The discussion started because someone claimed a single goalkeeping error could or did cost 3 points. It can't. b) No it wouldn't. You are relegated because over the course of 46 games you didn't earn enough points to stay up. While it may feel like it all comes down to the final game, the...

Yep. My bad, but the rest of the point remains. The points difference is not down to the keeper's error, it is down to the results of 46 matches.

As TB says, the blackpool goal was wind assisted. Stockdale admitted fault for the first goal against charlton. Nonsense. Firstly, had we lost, we'd be on 46 and they would be on 48, a difference of 2, not 3. Secondly, that mistake would have cost us one point. The fact that there is a...

No, the only way that goalkeeper error has cost three points is if you want to criticise the goal keeper. The subsequent goal isn't the result of the first error, it's either a second error (by any number of players/officials), or is the result of good play from the opponents, or luck.
