Nice to see Bellamy's return and a wonderful goal to boot.

I agree that the press have seemed to have a vendetta against Curbs this summer. Hopefully this win can shut them up.

Cheers,

I found a good view at http://www.dailymotion.com/search/west%2Bham/vi...

(Around 3:50 mins)

It's incredibly tight...could be level, could be slightly offside, depending where you freeze it.

Maybe benefit of the doubt to the lino on this one.

Great site. Keep up the good work.

In a lot of ways it's just like basketball refs, where the guy in the best position isn't always the guy who makes the call.
