(1) It wasn’t a tackle from behind. Conneely comes at the ball from the right, the Wycombe player from the left. Conneely is first to get his outstretched foot on the ball. The Wycombe player than falls forward over Conneely’s leg.
(2) I think the criticism would have been justified if Conneely hadn’t tried to get to the ball. A team captain thinking ‘no need to tackle, that’s someone else’s job’ wouldn’t deserve his place never mind the armband. It was an ‘indifferent’ decision from an indifferent referee.
Certainly on last night’s show there was little difference, other than their current league positions, between the two teams.
