Where you getting that from?
Well our goalkeeper was ~30 yards out of his goal with their forward on the edge of our box and another player looking to take a quick throw in. Ok, nothing is guaranteed and we had a fair bit of cover at the time but it was not a bad idea to prevent them taking a quick throw in given the situation.
Let’s be honest Ian, if he’d stopped the ball, their player had taken a quick throw in and they’d scored as a result you’d be incandescent with rage at him
He should have just let the ball go through his legs and got out the way, but assume it’s a bit of instinct in the heat of the moment
Deserved the red card as those are the rules but I’ve no real issue with him doing what he did
