[sinkov]

Behave sinkov, the sheer number of stonewall penalties we do not get suggests to me that opposing managers know they can almost foul with impunity and not get punished for it.

How else can you possibly explain the Wood decision on Saturday?

As the pundits are fond of saying, 'he went down too easily'. The liner was never going to get involved in a marginal call like that, he just isn't, they rarely do even down at Clitheroe's level. Are you saying the ref saw it, thought ' Stonewall free-kick and red card that', then thought, 'Hang on a minute, that Chris Wood plays for Burnley, feck that for a game of soldiers, I'm not giving it'.

Is that how it works ?
