Watch it again and then tell me it wasn’t intended 27 minutes ago, Shukes said: Defo after Intended, I could do that at my level... I’m sure pro footballers are capable of it. I didn't say it wasn't intended. Thats not the point at all. The only thing Digne could do was head the ball, not to mention the fact it was played behind him. He even had 1 leg out of play. How Digne got it to Gordon was a miracle. How he got it to another blue shirt is a miracle. How he managed to just generally not cause a turnover was pretty incredible. It was a terrible decision to play the ball to where he did but it is one that he got away with because of the brilliance of Digne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at Holgate's eyes and the fact that the defender cut off a ball along the ground I think you have to give him the benefit of the doubt for the chip; certainly it wasn't inch perfect as Lucas had to move back a few feet but how many passes are inch perfect? Watched it multiple times and I have to side with Mason, it wasn't a perfect pass but it was pretty damn good and Digne's reaction made it perfect.

Shukes Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Pretty bog standard header for me. Nothing miraculous about it, easy to control a header of that pace. Not taking anything away from Digne for it, just don’t see anything special there. Palfy and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed at the time I never felt that something incredible had happened leading up to the goal, and having revisited it I still don’t.

I'm bloody glad I have never played football with you lot! We might need to check Holgate's passport though, as he is clearly Brazilian!

That's the thing though isn't it, had a Brazilian defender done it you'd think he meant it, but because it was Mason from Doncaster it was pure luck.

No, I know he meant to play it to him, maybe not quite where he did, my point is that it was a poor decision because 99/100 its a turnover. It was a poor decision and average ball made to look good by the work of Digne. Anyways let's put this one on the agree to disagree pile. Might need a step ladder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will all temporarily do "be nice" soundbites like they did after Caroline flack. It's very easy to get roped in. Take for example the "Sean promise" lad, offering to straighten Pickford out to VVD..... It works 2 ways. 1. He's threatening a players safety. This impacts on the players mental welfare 2. He's now the subject of numerous tweets and ridicule which is going to impact on his wellbeing Very fragile ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
