Depends if the ref allowed the goal or not...

Presuming he didn't blow up before the ball went in, I would think it would be no punishment, or a yellow if deemed deliberate. Probably the former.

I wonder if Smith regretted not tripping over Ruddy? Ruddy certainly came flying at him. 1-1 and 10 men each...

    - No. 'Cos wouldnt have denied a clear goalscoring opportunity. (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 16, 14:22:05
    - probably a yellow (n/m) (NCFC) - Pixelman, Nov 16, 13:59:37
      - yes, that was my understanding, but it seems weird that you could make the same offence (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Nov 16, 14:35:50
        
        There are two offences though aren't there? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 16, 14:38:24
        
        yes, that's true too (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Nov 16, 14:42:13
        
        the offence isn't "*tried* to deny a goalscoring opportunity" (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 16, 14:47:31
        
        so if he saves it and the ball rebounds off a defender into the goal (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Nov 16, 14:52:17
        
        in theory probably the ref could (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 16, 15:04:54
        
        exactly. Becomes a different offence if a goal (or goalscoring opportunity) is denied. (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Nov 16, 14:41:25
