Personally I think calling a penalty for that would have been harsh. He didn't go in foot first. He went in with his hands and intended to block with his hands.
You'd have to say Cavan are really clicking up front. I know a lot of people were questioning Johnston earlier in the year but we have really improved in that department. We still need James Smith to up his conversion rate but overall we look much stronger in the attacking third.
That's what i thought too. Didn't look like the usual footblock where a player sticks their foot out when the ball is being struck. He was blocking with his body and hands like you say, and then the forward kicked him. Wouldn't have been surprised if it was given though, probably makes up for the penalty that they did get. It was definitely not in the box.
I'd agree. We're running up good totals, and it could be better if we get some to up their conversion rate, or not take low % shots. Suppose it's the game we're playing, we're pushing forward and leaving ourselves a bit open at the back. We're trusting our forwards to shoot out whatever the other team scores.
