The Falklands factor is the primary reason for the longevity of the incident and the game.
"I remember watching it as a 19 yr old and my honest reaction was how the **** did he get away with it?"
Exactly my rant at that moment (WTF had NONE of the match officials seen it ?? ) .
"I also remember him being kicked stupid in the match, which to me is as much a part of
cheating as him punching the ball in the net."
1. Twas hardly the level of Pele vs Portugal in 1966.
2. It did not go unpunished.
On #2, Fenwick had already been booked for fouling someone.
He was the last man on the run to goal 2, and I maintain to this
day he did not attempt a "take one for the team" tackle precisely
because he knew it would be a second yellow (hence his limp effort) .
