Just watchig the 12 minute highlights on LUTV (I really cannot get enough of Burton game) and have found out what a part Pontus played in the penalty decision We had a corner by Hernandez that Pontus headed just wide - but he was having his shirt pulled - it was quite obvious but the ref missed it (as they tend to do)- Pontus without screaming, shouting or getting into the referees face, pointed out the fact that they were tugging at his shirt A couple of minutes later, another Hernandez corner, this time Lasogga was having his shirt pulled but this time the ref noticed it and gave us a the penalty. Of course he may have spotted it anyway and given the pen but I do think Pontus bringing it to his attention and in a decent manner must have helped him make that decision Another thing that has been good, yesterday in particular but all season really, is the fact that we do not seem to have many bookings - no-one was booked yesterday - and Pontus who was booked a lot last season and got 3(?) bans, has so far not picked up a single one. Clearly players like him are going to get booked just for the way the game is now and the fact they make tackles, so it is great to see him, and the team as a whole, cut out the silly stuff Dave _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org
