Just as I remember last night.Only thing I would add is I thought the keeper should have been booked for trying to get Cosgrove potentially booked.

 

Full marks to Cosgrove for fully commiting, if only all.goals were so easy to score!

 

Could you post a link, couldn't find the comments section. Cheers.

 

The keeper was booked, though I don't know if it was for the theatrics or his reaction.

 

I still think it's a foul.

It's poetic justice but that doesn't mean it's actual justice.

Keeper has it in both hands and Cosgrove bangs into him. Maybe not with enough force to knock him over but with enough to unbalanced him.

I don't like to see the tactics Wycombe employed and in a way the keeper got his commupence. But I don't want to see football degenerate into a game where smacking into the keeper when he's stood there with the ball in his hands is deemed OK. We got rid of that years ago.

 

For me there was only minimal contact, certainly not enough to disturb a bloke that size. If he hadn't left it until the very last second ( which according to their fans he is known for) there wouldn't have been any contact and then if he hadn't tried to make a meal of it he would have never dropped the ball.
Full marks to Cosgrove though for chasing it and then putting the loose ball into the net.
But as with all football it wouldn't be the same if we all saw the same thing

 

The second angle at 24 seconds is the most telling. Goalie definitely moves forward to make contact. They rarely get given but 100% the correct decision.

 

I'm obviously not hugely frustrated by the decision as
A - I'm a Barnsley fan, I wanted us to win, and this helped us achieve that
B - Wycombe kind of "deserved" it. Crap tactics deserve an '"unfair" decision, although rarely do we see that
C - the referee was at least consistent and had previously waved play on when other players had easily gone to ground.

But I do think it's different if the keeper has the ball in his hands. I also think there are literally thousands of examples of the keeper getting a free kick when it obviously wasn't and this was a poor situation to make precedent.

 

I totally agree and there's defo a little shove, never mind.

 

I'm looking at it like, we have all seen perfectly good penalty decisions turned down because of over elaboration by the attacking player, I think this was kind of like that but in reverse.
As one of their fans put it, he should be at the docs being checked for an inner ear infection if he goes over for that.

 

I wonder what Cosgrove is saying to the keeper

 

That’s a thing of beauty! How often do players collapse as if they’ve been hit with a baseball bat. Well the Polish keeper did just that and QUITE RIGHTLY did not get what he expected. Terrible handling of the ball though. How did he manage to lose control of it?

It’s about time one went in our favour for a change

 

That is a brilliant set of angles. Thank you. Loved the moment after the goal when Cosi ‘had a word’ with the keeper. Hilarious.

 

People can say what they want, it might be extremely weak goalkeeping but that is a push and you can't walk up to a goalkeeper and shove them.

 

Last night it had to be a case of borderline GBH before the ref blew his whistle.
In such circumstances their keeper was rather optimistic in thinking that walking into Cosgrove and theatrically bouncing off of him would win a foul.
Different night and different referee (sadly most) and he would have got what he wanted.
