Forgive me if this has already been suggested, but lets assume Dale didn't steal the ball, the game went into the 2nd period of Extra Time and for whatever reason we still ended up losing. Would Dale Morton still be talked down for the rest of his participation in the game?
Everybody move on. I am sure that given his time again Dale would not have made the same decision, and this is just one part of his learning curve. We were all poop drivers once!

I just cannot see why people are blaming Dale for losing the game, he is after all a young kid in a big local derby cup game with no second chances. If people take a constructive look at the game the two biggest howlers came from experienced players. They were not Wakefields young kids but Danny Orr and Rangi Chase for trying to pick the balls up and not dropping on them for both of your tries. Without these two howlers Morton would not have been in the position to strip the ball as the game would have been over in normal time. This does show that even the best of players have brain farts but it's always easier stood on the touchline. It was a typical cup tie and neither of us deserve to be in the position of fighting for our existence.
