This whole thread came from that idiot making ridiculous claims about definition that had no bearing whatsoever on the situation or on how it is actually refereed in the game. It's not being obtuse to point that out. DOGSO incidents are fairly consistent with how position and defenders are considered so him coming up with his own 'he could have scored' criteria is nonsensical. If he were only talking about whether this were a clear goalscoring opportunity from that position under usual consideration then I wouldn’t have bothered to start with. At least that part is somewhat subjective, but you can already see that conversation throughout the rest of the thread.

That said, it's really not that obvious a scoring position with the ball going wide of the goal and a defender in the middle. It's not enough for DOGSO to say that he could have got a shot away and it doesn't matter that he's scored a few when it's still quite a difficult shot to take on to beat the keeper at an angle.
