The camera made it look like a foul because Pukki

was trying to push/hold him off with his hands. However, from behind the player you can clearly see the Watford player try to lean in on Pukki but he is too far away and is falling over, so I think he was already on his way down and Pukki gave him a helping hand. I thought the ref was quite lenient all night. He let a lot of contact go that a far fussier ref would have blown. The game was much better for it too. How Williams didn't get book I will never know!

        If that was Aarons we’d be seething (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 22, 12:19:05
        
        I'd be seething with Max for trying to buy a foul rather than just shielding the ball out! (n/m) (NCFC) - JD3, Jan 22, 15:11:35
- I know the point you’re making. It just wasn’t a foul though (n/m) (NCFC) - DH Yellow, Jan 22, 09:53:58
  - They often give that in that area though. Hanley makes a living on it. (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, Jan 22, 09:56:24
    - Yeah Hanley is brilliant at it (n/m) (NCFC) - DH Yellow, Jan 22, 10:25:00
    - Hanley makes sure they run into the back of him. Pukki to the side & didn't push him over (n/m) (NCFC) - JD3, Jan 22, 10:04:27
- For anyone to consider that a foul shows how far football has fallen (n/m) (NCFC) - Ben, Jan 22, 09:52:58
  - 100% this. I mean FFS! He just throws himself to the floor. (NCFC) - JD3, Jan 22, 10:03:11
