I think a more interesting question is whether what he did was wrong. Assuming the hand contact was reflexive rather than intentional, what should he have done? Pointed it out & left the ball? Kicked it out, giving away the goal kick that should have been? Intentionally fired off a crappy cross so as not to have changed the outcome of the game? Whatchoo think?Island Crusaderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04186309206490709215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606556863696126339.post-89296469425191233862009-12-06T18:28:28.166-08:002009-12-06T18:28:28.166-08:00I think it was reflexive, rather than intentional,...I think it was reflexive, rather than intentional, as Henry said in his interview. This raises the interesting question of whether it was even a foul, if it wasn't "deliberate," or how the rules should be changed to construe it more clearly as a foul. And I don't think he would have had time to make much of a deliberate decision about it, since his entire involvement in the play took less than half a second, if that. After the goal was scored, should he have refrained from celebrating? Or pointed it out to the referee? Gosh, that would be a lot to ask wouldn't it? I mean he's not being paid to referee the game right?sammyphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06492835294287504609noreply@blogger.com
