The wind, the weather and the referee were all that separated Nottingham Forest and a goal on Saturday.
The key event in Forest's 0-0 draw with Queens Park Rangers yesterday was a goal. Well, a non-goal.
You must know the story by now. Joe Lolley whipped in a corner, Joe Worrall met it, Forest were up and celebrating - almost ready to kick off before the referee blew the whistle and ordered a retake.
In dramatic circumstances, Forest kicked it in again, but it was easily cleared.
Why the retake? As Lolley hit the initial corner, the wind was rolling the ball. The set piece, by the rules, was struck off as was the resulting goal.
It drew fury in the stadium, and still is the biggest point of contention.
And now former Stoke City boss Nathan Jones has waded in on the debate, offering his verdict on the incident as he spoke to EFL on Quest.
“The referee is a party pooper," he joked.
"To be honest with you, it is the letter of the law. It is moving and maybe if it didn’t move, would he have put that kind of delivery in?
"So, based on that, I think it was the right decision and we’d have been flabbergasted if he didn’t blow up."
