I doubt I would have felt much pain from it and would have just got up.
The goalie laid prostrate, unmoving, as if he was seriously hurt or more likely unconscious.
The unwarranted action of the Millwall players was the cause of the incident. In the extended highlights I saw three clear incidents of diving by Millwall players all of which got them free kicks from the referee. This level of cheating (and time wasting as well) which I see every week and goes completely unnoticed by referees ruins my enjoyment of football to the point that I wonder whether it is worth while to keep on going.
It's time to stamp it out. I can use that word safely because Wood definitely did not stamp on their goalkeeper.
