Why it wasnt a pen straight away god only knows.

The linesman was 100% correct it was in the box by about 3metres

Ref by and large was incompetent all game really.

There was 1 play where 3 Olympic players could have got a yellow for hacks on Kale with 2 cast iron yellows in them

No one got one.

Then he books Simon Mooney for an innocuous foul that was a free kick but no more.

Go figure why he was blowing up


As for the last goal.
Magic had the ball as Dino Faj was on the ground. They are entitled to do what they want with it.
They chose to play on and caught Olympic sound asleep and square at the back

Exactly what Olympic can complain about has me perplexed.
It was a well worked goal.

TBH the 4-2 result flattered Olympic. Magic were a lot better defensively bar 2 shoddy bits of defending which got punished.

Was a pretty solid domibant performance from them I thought
Agree ref was largely incompetent all game for many reasons. My question if a ref calls a decision even though it was wrong for a handball outside the box and gives a yellow for that decision and then awards a penalty for a different offence? which I think the goalie is entitled to go for the ball and they collided. I am a neutral and viewed the game as pretty end to end with no real dominance. I will have to watch the replay to see if I can see your view of dominance.
You are right they are entitled to do what they want. The players had stopped magic players were calling for the ball to be kicked out. 99% of the time the ball would be kicked out. In my eyes and may be my eyes only that is poor sportsmanship.
