Besides, it's a pointless risk. If we take a short corner and lose the ball, the 9 other players in our team are still in a good defensive shape. If we send the big boys up and whip the ball in, they have to sprint 60 yards back to chase the potential counter attack.

Is the reward of winning 3-1 bigger than the risk of drawing 2-2? No. So why take it.

Even if you disagree with me, I cannot comprehend how that's "spoilt" one of our best wins of the season for you.

It doesn't waste any time and leaves their players further forward up the pitch.

I'll repeat, "when was the last time you witnessed a ref, giving the advantage to the attacking team, at one of these short corners"
