Agreed on keeping 11 on the field.  Both have been deserved and avoidable so we have enough to worry about without going down to 10. The last two games haven't been terrible performance wise.  It's fairly obvious we're "shot shy", a favourite term of my dad's, so I see a tight game and I'm hoping for a wee bit of class, or a bigger slice of luck. 

While the officials haven't had the same time to analyse this as others have at worst it's got to be inconclusive so therefore couldn't be given as a foul.  This decision apart the referee wasn't that bad on Saturday but that's not very cool to admit.  Anyhow, it's over and these decisions shouldn't overshadow our inability to score a couple of goals in one game.  I see over on Facebook the paranoia is reaching fever pitch. 

Love seeing some properly considered footage with measurements.   (nicked from @callmebaygirl on twitter) I'd whizzed this over in my mind Saturday night wondering how thick the pitch lines were and how many (figured had to be 2 or 3 line widths) the ball would have to be in front before it wouldn't have overlapped the penalty box line and been legally "inside" especially as you see virtually every player sit the ball over the corner quadrant by about a centimetre these days. As others have said maybe just boot it but it's so unlikely that the ball wasn't technically in the box that Shamal has been proper shafted here. Lets face it, technically it's in the box and he got it right and Beaton & mate got it wrong.
