wide of mark

QPR's best effort of the match fell to substitute Bobby Zamora, whose header from 10 yards flashed wide of Mark Howard's right-hand post.

Criticizing Bloomberg for failing to provide neighborhood resources that could lower obesity levels is also wide of mark.

They failed to break through, though, and it was the hosts who created the only clear-cut chance of the second half when Klaemint Olsen burst into the box and sliced his shot wide of Mark Schwarzer's left-hand post.

The blow fell, but a foot wide of mark.
