Sorry, but there was nothing at all wrong with where he put the ball originally - there is no requirement for the ball to be IN the quadrant (or even on the line). That linesman was an officious cock, determined to have his little say.
Good point, well made.
Presumably he was rattled by the failure of Hughes' bunch of over-paid misfits, to get anything out of the game, despite his enormous tactic acumen and brilliant addition of well chosen reinforcement overpaid misfits.
Yes, this.
Amazed that he reacted as he seems to have. Surely he hears this stuff EVERY away game?
I guess he was rattled by his team's failure on the pitch.
