Robbie, if you thought it was clear and obvious that the ball struck her arm then you had a better view than any of the cameras. It genuinely looked to me that the tustling defender actually pulled Ellen's arm towards the ball!
The co-commentating "expert analyst" starts off uncertain but ends up correctly predicting that the goal will be disallowed. I think both she and the referee got it right. White's arm played a crucial part in manoeuvring the ball past the defender and making the shot possible. Without the intervention of her arm, the trajectory of the ball would have been rather different.
Bless him! Ask a retired striker for his opinion and all his career goals that would never have stood if VAR had been in use flash before his mind
I can remember a classic goal when the ball hit Dion in the back and bounced into goal. When the off-side flag went up he smiled wryly - c'mon ref! He was well off-side unfortunately.
Entertaining match to kick-start the new season. Shame we didn't sign Britt Assombalonga - he could of missed one of our penalties last season - just like everyone else did, so he'd of fitted in a treat!
I think Howson's been playing right back for Miďdlesbrough in pre season got a feeling he started his career as a right back
