Why was Burn's goal disallowed?

Did you go, Tribec?
Bobby Charlton stayed the whole game while Stuart Pearce left early......  |
Got there a little late, due to work and mother, but hey it was worth the trip. I must say that I thought I parked my car in the Swimming pool's car park and not the swimming pool itself. That rain was awful, but hey when I use to play sports more often that was the sort of weather I loved playing in.
As for the Burns goal, that could have been given as obstruction or ungentlemanly conduct. I think the rule itself is obstruction, the rule being that he raised his foot, had the keeper kicked the ball and he done nothing and it hit him and rolled in the goal stands. There is a very fine line on that sort of thing. I know UEFA and FIFA have put pressure on the ref's to punish offenders who obstruct the keeper in such ways.
Pearce had seen enough and if you recall the last mini derby he stayed in the box for most of the second half. As for Sir Bobby, it wouldn't shock me if he wasn't on some sort of watching brief for SAF. He's done it before, and he'll do it again.
