We’re just little old Blackpool

At the time of the incident, I’d agree. But after watching it back a few times, it’s not unreasonable to understand the decision. VAR would have clearly shown what actually happened.
VAR certainly would, but live in the ground, not after watching in slow-mo as you suggested, it never occurred to me or most of us that it wasn’t a goal, it was clear as day. We’ve all done that quick look at the lino before celebrating, but that wasn’t the case here. What’s worse is, it wasn’t disallowed until a good 20-30 seconds later; as I said elsewhere, it’s hard not to feel like they were searching for a reason to disallow it.

Coupled with the goalkeeper who, if you concede wasn’t making a genuine attempt to win the ball, HAS to be a red according to the laws, then tripled with Steve Fletcher inexplicably booked for kicking a player in the back of the leg after the ball is gone and getting a yellow on Wednesday before scoring the winner, you can understand Critchley losing his cool.
 
Well, I've heard Mr Doubtful, Mr Considered, Mr Ebullient, Mr Careful, Mr Magnanimous but...Mr Angry? Well said Critch, you know where you belong.
