In any event it's one goal. It's no different to me pulling out a youtube clip of a long punted ball up-field that results in someone like Madrid etc scoring and saying.. 'if it's good enough for Madrid it's gone enough for us'.
I'm sure there are plenty of goals showing Rochdale 'playing the percentages'. There are individual examples of us scoring goals following a number of passes in this thread already, though I appreciate they're not the norm.
