Wrexham footage shows Notts County are right to be furious; could be pivotal in play-off race: View
The Magpies had a goal ruled out in their defeat to Wrexham at the weekend
Notts County reignited their rivalry with Wrexham over the weekend, but may feel slightly unfortunate to not come away with a point from the STōK Cae Ras.
Steven Fletcher’s acrobatic finish proved decisive as the visitors failed to turn their possession into goals, boosting the Welsh side’s hopes of automatic promotion from League Two.
But the Magpies thought they had levelled the contest in the second-half when David McGoldrick flashed the ball beyond Arthur Okonkwo, but referee Carl Brook ruled out the goal for handball, something upon later inspection looked to be a harsh decision.
McGoldrick’s disallowed goal vs Wrexham
It’s fair to say that the Notts County fans were not too happy with the decision to rule out McGoldrick’s strike against Wrexham, especially once the footage of the incident was uploaded to social media shortly after it took place.
Even manager Stuart Maynard was left frustrated with the decision, and explained to BBC Radio Nottingham that the reaction of the Wrexham players should have been an indicator to the referee that the goal should have stood.
“The real frustration is that we probably deserve a point, minimum,” Maynard said.
