Yes, that's right.
Yeah, there was some discussion about that.
I mean, I thought that Patrick might be the man and, of course, he was anxious to take it, but there were quite a few others in the team that thought I probably made a wrong decision, but I'm glad he proved me right.
Well, I mean, it is what it is.
I mean, basically people are going to say that, you know, the technology proves it either is or it isn't, so there's not much really to argue about.
But from a footballing point of view, I think it's harsh for teams to have to accept that, you know, goals are being given on such close...
decision-making when it comes to, you know, really literally millimetres.
But I don't know whether that will be looked at in any way.
Obviously, this is the first time we've actually really been involved with VAR, strangely enough, and at the moment we've got a 100% record in the sense it's gone our way.
But I can understand that it must be harsh for West Ham for something to be ruled in our favour after the linesman has actually ruled it offside.
I can understand they'll be a bit unhappy tonight.
But I don't think we deserve not to win the game.
I've got to say, we won it this way, but there were lots of other occasions and there was a potential penalty for Wilford getting the second half.
We had our share of chances.
Well, not until we get to about 38, 39.
There's a few games to go.
We shouldn't be.
And it's not a question of tying the party line.
It's a question of staying grounded, really, and keeping your eye very much on the ball in terms of the focus we have to have.
If we start thinking that now we're going to run away with things and we can work a bit less hard, we can concentrate a bit less...
