That goal

Quoted from Civvy at last

So why did Berret get booked for intercepting a quick free kick from them ???

Because the ref noticed that he doesn't offer much when he plays so he was doing us a favour by working towards ensuring he doesn't start the next game for us

Because he deliberately stood about 2 yards away to stop the free kick being taken quickly.

Quoted from sapper mariner

However, an opponent who deliberately prevents a free kick being taken quickly must be cautioned for delaying the restart of play. from the fa website.

I was drunk of at the time about it, it was a frustrating game were neither team played that well to be honest. The end of the day it's happened it can't be changed now and we move on. Makes me laugh I've seen some Coventry fans say they totally outclassed us but to be fair I thought it was a very scrappy game with not much quality except Jones for them and dembele for us , had 0-0 written all over it before the goal. One thing we do need to change is having 1 striker upfront at home, we are meant to be the team showing we want to win the game and not worrying about there players.

Quoted from toontown

Not according to the rules Pete, have seen Sapper Mariners post (No. 4) and read the FA website - what the coventry striker did was clearly within the rules as you don't need to be 10 yards from the ball if ur opponent takes the free kick quickly. IF the ref treats Clarke as taking the free kick himself then the cov striker can intercept the ball regardless of not being 10 yards.

It was hardly what I'd call a quick free kick though

Nearly everyone bar a couple of Coventry players had gone in to our half  ( expecting the ball to be played long no doubt ) and only after that did Clarke then for whatever reason roll the ball a few feet behind him towards Macca

Given the weight on the "pass" back he surely can't have been thinking this is the free kick in itself...

I could be wrong of course but in his mind I'd guess he was just thinking of rolling it back for Macca to punt upfield

Anyway we conceded the goal rightly or wrongly and nothing is going to change that no matter what  

Has he been asked what he was doing ?

I guess the goal is technically legal, but against the spirit of the game. Just gotta hope what goes around comes around I guess.

Obviously Clarke never thought in a million years McNulty would have done what he did, naive on his part, but he's a model pro and obviously expects the same off others. McNulty has then celebrated like he's just scored in the World Cup final.

Just gotta hope we win them in the away fixture

Very very naive IMHO. I don't believe the goal should have stood. However, it was a c0ck up on our part and if it was the other way round we'd be praising our man for quick thinking.

Think of it this way, if you'd been playing 5-a-side with your mates and one nipped in to 'score' a goal like that, it obviously wouldn't count and you'd tell him not to be such a male masturbator. Just because the Coventry player is a professional and there was a referee, doesn't make it any better.

I'd be pretty embarrassed if we scored a goal like that myself.

Me too Maringer

I mean it's just not cricket is it?
