was one of the worst calls this season.Watching the replay. The free kick Nichols gives McGovern near the start of the 3rd when Marshall gets kneed in the ribs is outrageous. If this campaigner was a player he'd barely get a game at this level.
mcgovern didn’t even get near the ball, in fact you can see the moment he gives up on trying to mark it
just delivered a flying knee that any MMA fighter would be proud of. I don’t think he meant it, purely a defensive instinct but that’s a free against him all day long. I can’t imagine dixon being allowed to do the same. If dixon could extend the knee into anyone coming back with the flight while not touching the ball the game would get called off after 5mins when everyone’s either dead or too scared to take the ground.
