you are right that no-one cares what Goodman thinks, BUT, if his comments provoke someone in authority to look at something which they otherwise wouldn't have, then we all should care about it !
I would like to think that those in authority don't take too much notice of pundits.
I'm not sure some of the ex-players know the modern rules, & I'm pretty sure Goodman & Keith Andrews both have axes to grind with us. I think we'd get a fairer assessment from someone line Jonathon Greening, who is also now doing a bit of punditory.
But, hey, Talk Sport/Sky are all from the same stable & it makes good Telly.
With my cynical head on, I also wouldn't be in the least surprised to see Leeds &/or Forest promoted this year so that Sky can have the same prodigal son love in with them that they have with Villa.
Some of the clips shown of Saturday's match were edited for maximum effect: when you see the incidents in the round, you come to a different conclusion.
