SuperDziek Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Completely forgot about this til reading a few comments about the ref on the Oldham rivals site.But, does anyone remember in the second half when their defender, who was being challenged by Andrews (I think) seemed to pass the ball back to Pogliacomi, who just picked it up and the ref took no action.Seemed a straight forward infringement, but the ref just waved play on.Anyone else remember this, or have seen it on the highlights? Would be interested to know if an indirect freekick should have been awarded, cause I was convinced of this at the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interested to know if an indirect freekick should have been awarded, cause I was convinced of this at the time!I was convinced it was a backpass too, although it may have been the angle we were viewing it at. I looked straight across at Gary Johnson and he wasn't protesting at all, just standing with his hands in his pockets. If it was a backpass I would have thought he'd be ranting and raving at the ref. I'd like to see a replay of it though all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrett81 Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Thought the same, the linesman surely seen it too but didn't raise his flag! Such an obvious back pass aswell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardy Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Anyone know if this is the same incident that the radio commentator mentioned something about a backpass from the defender's knee and that it was ok because it was off his knee ? I was confused when he said that because I thought you were only allowed to pass back with your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How wrong I was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
