Correct, it was an attempt at a run around but it wasn't executed properly, when Smith receives the pass he is still a couple of yards to the left of the Wigan player that passed it to him, he then ran, with the ball, around the back of that player. That by the laws of the game is crossing, whether it actually caused an obstruction or not is a different matter. Anyone who thought that was a genuine run around doesn't know what they are talking about.

I didn't actually mean it in that way. We deserved to lose, we were bloody awful.
In the weather conditions the last thing that game last night needed was a ref who allowed both sides to hold down and be offside. It meant the defences were up incredibly quickly and led to rushed passes and even more knock ons than there would've been.
The reffing turned what might have been an average game into a poor one.

Mad that. Two of the biggest and well supported teams in the league get the most attention on fans forums. You would never have thought it.

Only just seen the "football tackle", missed it during the game. Not sure what to make of it tbh, it's an unusual challenge. Looks like he won the ball and the ref was satisfied that there had been no foul play. Could have been different if it had been mis-timed though.

Because it was asked earlier and not bee answered, if a goal line drop out is not taken correctly then the receiving team get a penalty 10 metres from the goal line.
