Probably. It leaves the League open to challenge if, say, a goal gets given that shouldn`t have, the benefitting team wins, and then stays up by a point.

That said, it didn’t seem to matter when Villa benefitted due to a mix up with the goal line tech playing a not insignificant role in keeping them up that season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champfan45 Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 As a neutral, the match was very entertaining but I feel sorry for Jesse Marsch after watching that. Tactically outdid Arteta but has got **** all to show for it. The disallowed Bamford goal should have stood, but his finishing is absolutely shambolic. Luckily for them, we have a certain A Semenyo who may be available for the right price. £20M plus add ons should do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
