I won't ever forget that. It was about 20 yards from me. So unfortunate

Me too, it was one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen on a football pitch. Having heard the (as yet unfounded) rumours about he and Snodgrass not getting on (that I was totally unaware of until this summer) I wonder if that has something to do with why he didn't make the easy pass? If so then shame on him, that could have cost us our place in the top flight.

That 'mistake' can't have been accidental, IMO.

Who was it that first mentioned it? I also was totally unaware of the rumours until it was mentioned on here. It's eery how often that hat fits now that it's in my mind, and especially with so much of our attacking play going through Snodgrass while RvW was rarely getting the ball. Is it true that they rarely exchanged passes? I guess it would need access to some comprehensive stats. Utterly bizarre. I guess we'll never know.

For me, I don't believe it was actively deliberate - I don't know about you but when I play football, it's actually very difficult to make a decision not to pass to a certain person, because invariably there's only one option. It could well be subconscious though. Also, the position he passed it to is a very standard place to expect support. His reaction did not make it look like it was deliberate.

I'm not convinced Snodgrass would have scored, so perhaps it makes no difference, but it really is the story of that guy's entire season in one-second of unmitigated crap
