Was it just me or did time seem to stop/slow donw in a surreal way for the Gillingham team when the ball bounced straight to Bentley?
Now, I appreciate that the stand had the mystical power to obstruct almost everyone's view at most instances during the match but I swear no-one even reacted in the slightest.
Every other time I have seen something like this (Whittaker's goal for Macc against is still a visible memory) the keeper realises his error and sprints back to the net, one or two defenders realise the danger and try and cover the goal at all costs and the midfield close the player down as soon as possible so he doesn't get a shot at an empty net.
Today, the keeper seemed none the wiser as to what had happened (although may well have been injured by his own player), the defenders seemed to assume their keeper sprinting out and collidihng with his own man was a foul and the midfielders presumably had a bet on whether Benno would do it or not.
Let's be honest, Benno's left foot isn't quite in the class of Giggs or Recoba yet he was given time, space and a clear shooting root to goal. He literally rolled it in from miles out*!
(*not literally miles though)
