Have been feeling Tom Dick since I woke up this morning, and will feel like that all evening.
Why oh why didn't I be like all my other friends and not give a monkey's about football. I used to believe that the joys have outweighed the angst and misery, but not so sure anymore, especially this season.
Ah well, off to the Lane I go.

From what I have seen it was not West Ham robbed as the correct decision was made. It was more that Woolwich were lucky and did not deserve that decision because of the skulduggery they have been getting away with all season. The non foul on Gabriel leading to our goal against them being disallowed was much worse and that goal should have been given


From the BBC
'We have seen pushing, shoving, grabbing and pulling on corners all season. Goalkeepers have been pressurised and harried too.

Woolwich have been the kings of it, crowding and surrounding goalkeepers at corners, finding ways to create space and score goals from set-pieces.

That they benefit from it in such a decisive way won't be lost on some.

Is this different? Crucially, it was.

It is hard to argue that the Spain international was not impeded. Without the foul contact by Pablo, Raya would surely have had a simple catch.

Pablo had his arm across Raya and he was holding on to the goalkeeper's left arm.'

Hopefully it will lead to Woolwich getting bad decisions in the next 2 games but I would not count on it.

Woolwich have made an industry out of boxing the keeper in, getting arms around them and doing as much as they can get away with on corners, and it seems as though it's only increased as they saw the league not acting on it. Of course they are going to practice in the dark arts if they're getting away with it. Throughout the year they have been pushing boundaries further out to the indifference of all. Other clubs see them getting away with it and say "we're doing it too then, if you're not going to enforce the laws then we won't follow them either".

Of course it all ends in chaos that benefits them, that's typical, but Stockley Park has been asleep at the switch all year and allowed this situation to come to a boil.
