Not sure Jelavic will agree with you there. The on/off target thing is usually only applied to potential own goals, isn't it?
What a load of waffle! It was a shot, an awful one, and even so Diame would NEVER have beaten Figueroa to the ball.
I think, surely, we can appeal the red card on the basis that it clearly didn't prevent a clear goalscoring opportunity because that opportunity still happened and they didn't score, yet they scored the pen which came as a result of the foul. So if anything it was the opposite, the foul created a clear goalscoring opportunity. How can there be grounds to send him off? I think refs are getting lazy lately and just giving a red card for every foul close to the goal regardless of the situation. Tottenham had someone sent off recently when the fouled player was surrounded by defenders! FFS.
