Is it just me

Or did Lewis not punch the equaliser into the net?

 

Looked a bit that way on telly. Not totally clear though.

 

Looks like he hit with his side/back.

 

It was very scrappy but I would say legitimate goal non the less.

 

I thought chest at the time

 

I was in the West Stand upper at the Ponty end and I honesty thought it went in off the defender. If he did punch it in then that just about makes up for the 2 clear handballs for which we should have had penalties.

 

I thought it was the back of his right shoulder..

 

More annoyed that we still had two minutes to try for a winner, but the team all wasted time celebrating like it was already a winner in front of the west stand, instead of rushing back to kick off.

 

We were playing the mighty Cambridge United.

 

'Bundled', I think that is the term.... well bundled, lad.

 

Stop looking ffs

 

At least he got on the end of it, nobody else did all game.

 

I was behind the goal with it right in front and he appeared to just slap it in with his forearm

 

The referee wouldn't have seen anything from his position and the linesman in front of the West stand saw nothing all game including the obvious offside when Cambridge could have scored four times within a few seconds in the first half....

 

Makes no difference - watch will have been stopped as ball not in play.

 

That isn't how football works. If the clock stopped ever time the ball was out of play there'd be half an hour added on

 

Just before his goal, Lewis had a similar situation where he stayed out of the box so missed an opportunity to score. DKD motioned to Lewis that he should have been in the box for this opportunity. Obviously Lewis took the advice and was in the right place to score the next time a cross came in. Credit to DKD. We may not have equalised if DKD had not given the advice.

 

I remember Barrie Thomas did that v Doncaster in a 1-0 win. That must be almost 60 years ago.

 

It wasn't as clear as their lad playing basketball in penalty area

 

Equally, credit to Lewis. He listened, took the advice on board and was rewarded. If he now does that off his own back, that's improvement in action ...

If he doesn't however, then by all means question it.
