My point of argument isn't with their praise, it's with their accusing me of criticising him, it's with their attitude of grouping together any comment that isn't 100% positive, with the comments of people who only ever see negative, and highlighting that when analysing a player ignoring the bad...

It's possible I was looking at it as a challenge I didn't want to see as a foul, but it's equally possible others are looking at an incident they want to see as a foul. I don't think it's a great angle, but as far as I see it, Rhodes arms aren't being used in an unfair or dangerous manner, his...

Blackburn's three minutes of youtube highlights only show the incident once, too. But shows a couple more of Stockdale's saves.

I think I know my opinion is going to be dismissed, but looking at that angle I would agree with the commentators. It's the sort of "foul" that will generally be met with moans about keepers getting too much protection.

You quoted my post and pointed to it as the problem with NSC as people slagging off players without watching it. How is that not referring to me? And I shouted because it was yet another attributing opinion to me I wasn't giving. I'm certain my opinion is no more important than anyone else's...

This is a problem with NSC. Too many people attributing criticism that aren't there. I AM NOT SLAGGING OFF STOCKDALE'S PERFORMANCE I am simply saying that Warren Aspinall, a man many people praise for his football knowledge, looked at replays of a foul and said the ref got it wrong. I have...

I've messed around with your post here because I want to highlight this specific point right off the bat. I'm not saying you can't defend players! I'm saying when a player has a 6/10 performance, he must have done some bad as well as some good, and that only focusing on the good he does is as...

That doesn't work as an argument against me. I'm not the one who is claiming if you need to see an incident through video replay you can't question the ref. That's you. You have made this argument go: Me: video replays show the ref got it wrong you: if you need video replays the ref got it...

I take it by this you will never ever ever disagree with a referee ever again? Would this also be an argument against video replay technology - if the ref has to look at it several times to know if it was/was not a foul, then obviously what the replay shows has to be ignored because that sounds...

Possibly. All I know is that the commentators had several looks at it and came to the conclusion the ref got that decision wrong.

Bad attitude (not getting promoted, no danger of relegation so don't really care; more focused on the cup replay; personal problems off the pitch distracting him; not feeling particularly competitive that day; assuming there would be another chance later in the game)? Thinking the infringement...

The commentators did have the benefit replay evidence.

According to the radio commentators the referee gets the assist on the clean sheet as their goal shouldn't have been disallowed because Stockdale wasn't fouled when he fumbled it. Had that stood this would be another wolves: 3 point keeping saves v 1 points costing error.

There are people on both sides of the stockdale divide who seemingly refuse to acknowledge that someone can have a mixed performance. Either they focus on the mistake that cost us two points, and refuse to acknowledge the great saves that retained that one point, or they focus on the saves that...

I don't know what games you've been to, but I've seen him get the ball played to him when he is standing still, when he is slowly walking, when he is trotting and in various speeds of running. The only balls he manages to control seem to be the once in a while ones that you look at and think...
