It's impossible to say whether Sodje would have got to the ball, but he might have and was clearly pulled back. Linesman and ref I think got that right. <br /><br />On Dailly, I'd have to have a slow motion watch of the video to decide. I guess we'll know if the club appeals (and if an appeal is upheld).Burgundy Addickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203516889598003723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476043688166279353.post-70511004409376509362010-11-21T19:52:19.191+00:002010-11-21T19:52:19.191+00:00Pembury,

Even if Sodje went down late & over dramatically, the Yeovil defender had a clear tug of his shirt & for once the lino (sorry, the referess assistant) saw it & made a clear decision.stevebnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476043688166279353.post-34353412758986135782010-11-21T14:19:51.268+00:002010-11-21T14:19:51.268+00:00Top of the Charlton versus bottom of the table Yeo...Top of the Charlton versus bottom of the table Yeovil - ther could only be one result couldn't there? Every Charlton fan I spoke to before the match thought otherwise.<br />None of us realised the ref wanted to play such a major part in proceedings.<br /><br />Yeovil, as you say BA, are to be applauded for their positive intention and good football - they look far too good to go down and deserved a draw.<br /><br />Their second goal came from a third innocous free kick on our left - I think that my idea of a harsh challenge is very different from League's, because I regularly see refs giving free kicks for the gentlest of challenges.<br /><br />But the Dailly decision was somehting else. In H block of the East Stand I had a good view of the challenge and saw so little to attract attention I just followed the ball. I couldn't see what the fuss was about. Watching the replay I can see that Daiily sort of lead with the arm and did indeed make contact with the top of the bloke's back. On that basis we should see about 20 red cards a game then. I didn't see the ref go over and talk the linesman until after he red card was flourished - but then the ref had a clearer line of view than the lino. <br /><br />As soon as the pen was given I wondered if the ref had evened things up, but couldn't tell as it was a way from where I was sitting. Watching the football league show it was obviously not a pen.<br /><br />So two very bad decisions with a big influence on the game. Given the number of bookings as well you'd have thought we'd had a bloodbath.<br /><br />I ought to feel sorry for Yeovil but I won't - their number 9 made a lot of the Dailly challenge and their players helped make the refs mind up.<br /><br />One final thought on Doherty - mitigating some of his less clever clearances, I thought that many were sensible knock downs or through balls to midfield players, and he was far bettr at this than the others in the back four.<br /><br />Pembury AddickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
