Re: POSH Thread

We couldn’t see the disallowed goal from where the Stanley fans were sat. And the short and somewhat fuzzy clip that someone posted was from a camera on the ‘wrong’ side.
To every Stanley fan I’m sure it looks like a goal. However, in looking at the video clip several times I noticed two things.
The first was how the Posh defenders nearest to the incident immediately raised their arms. Instantly, not a few seconds later when they think it’s worth trying to con a ref.
Second, Zanzala’s right arm appears to come up level with his head as he gets to the ball. Not a natural thing to do if you’re straining your neck to reach the ball to head it in.
If he did ‘arm’ the ball in that, to me, sums up Zanzala. For all his running and enthusiasm he doesn’t have that calm, clinical awareness that a good striker has. According to the ref’s decision, in his eagerness to score he misjudged where the ball would be coming off the bar and missed a sitter.
