rule says nothing about 'trying' to prevent a goalscoring op

says whether you did or not. Ball was going wide - he denied a goal kick.

All this is academic, anyway - they won't rescind it because they only do that when the ref didn't see something, not when he made an error of judgement.

Shearer on MOTD. Such a dimwit. Really banal and dull punditry. Perfect for the BBC. (NCFC) - Pit, Mar 24, 10:11:17
- A week ago he predicted we would go down (NCFC) - yarmyyarmy, Mar 24, 10:32:17

  - They need a decent ex-coach on there. (n/m) (NCFC) - BINMEN8R, Mar 24, 10:38:22
    - They need someone who wasn't an ex pro to represent the real world (n/m) (NCFC) - Ben, Mar 24, 10:50:50
      - Some of the less famous ex pros are much better pundits (NCFC) - duke of york, Mar 24, 10:55:36

    - It was almost impossible to get sent off in those days (NCFC) - mr carra, Mar 24, 10:34:28
  - He's right if it's going wide, surely? (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Mar 24, 10:25:34
    - How is the referee meant to know if its just inside the post or just outside? (NCFC) - Ben, Mar 24, 10:29:00
      - simple - if he's not sure it's going in he should just give a yellow (NCFC) - mr carra, Mar 24, 10:40:21
        
        All referees give based on what they think they see (NCFC) - Ben, Mar 24, 10:44:40

        He was trying to deny a goal-scoring opportunity. (NCFC) - yarmyyarmy, Mar 24, 10:38:33
        
        see below - look at the rule (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Mar 24, 10:41:08
        
        It was very much a goal scoring opportunity (NCFC) - Ben, Mar 24, 10:58:14
        
        No it wasn't. (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 24, 11:19:25
        
        that's stretching it quite a bit (NCFC) - CWC, Mar 24, 11:16:56
        
        He either denied a goal (red card) or he didn't (yellow card) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 24, 11:22:09
        
        But he didn't stop him from shooting (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 24, 11:15:10
        
        He didn't deny a goalscoring opportunity. (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Mar 24, 11:04:32
        
        VMT (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 24, 10:46:00
    - Correct. Deliberate handball is a yellow - see Alonso. (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 24, 10:26:57
      - Which it plainly didn't (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Mar 24, 10:28:13
        
        Indeed ox's stupidity shouldn't be a factor (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 24, 10:47:59

      - But he's a Geordie and they're MASSIVE! (n/m) (NCFC) - Kirrie, Mar 24, 10:34:34
      - Yeah - massively patronising (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 24, 10:27:44
  - Deliberate handball = yellow card, no? (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 24, 10:21:44
    - Suarez got sent off in the World Cup. (n/m) (NCFC) - Pit, Mar 24, 10:22:19
      - Wasn't the ball going in though? (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 24, 10:23:08
        
        Yes. (n/m) (NCFC) - Pit, Mar 24, 10:25:28
        
        That's the difference, right? Suarez was sent off for denying a goal. (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Mar 24, 10:26:16
        
        Don't all handballs have to be deliberate? (NCFC) - yarmyyarmy, Mar 24, 10:35:54
        
        No you are wrong (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 24, 10:48:47
        
        rule says nothing about 'trying' to prevent a goalscoring op (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Mar 24, 10:39:53
        
        Er holt's red was rescinded due to error of judgement (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 24, 10:51:17
        
        Then no-one would ever be sent off (NCFC) - yarmyyarmy, Mar 24, 10:42:37
        
        yes it is different (NCFC) - mr carra, Mar 24, 10:47:45
        
        Bit different to if the ball is clearly going wide (NCFC) - duke of york, Mar 24, 10:46:38
        
        Was it clearly going wide though? We don't know because he saved it. (NCFC) - yarmyyarmy, Mar 24, 10:50:08
        
        It was definitely going wide (NCFC) - duke of york, Mar 24, 10:56:33
        
        Impossible for the ref to have known (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 24, 11:04:17
        
        Are you ok? (NCFC) - SCC 28, Mar 24, 10:52:10
        
        That's why they put "deny a clear goalscoring opportunity" in the rule. (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Mar 24, 10:45:07
        
        Yes. I think you are right. I wasnt sure if the Gibbs save was on target. (NCFC) - Pit, Mar 24, 10:27:37
