Penalty?
Tue Mar 03, 2015 11:04 am
Thought I'd leave it a few days after the Wolves game before posting this, to see if anybody else mentioned the fact that we should have had a penalty in the last few minutes. Nobody seems to have brought this up so thought I would ask the question...
Was there a handball by a Wolves defender inside the penalty area with about 3 minutes to go? I sit level with the penalty area at the Canton end, and to me it appeared that a Wolves arm went up and flicked the ball away after another City long ball into the box. Kenwynne Jones and another of the City players (Revell maybe?) seemed to appeal to the ref - Jones was clearly indicating he thought there had been a handball.
Must admit that I was apopleptic at that point so may have missed the detail of what was going on as I was screaming at the the lino to get his *********** flag up.
Would be interested to know what you think and whether it was just a figment of my imagination!

I saw that, looked like a penalty to me. It's not shown in the match highlights.

Good - glad it's not just me!
Normally after a game an incident like this would get some coverage, but I suppose with the sending offs that did and didn't happen, as well as the clearances off the line and near misses, this seems to have been overlooked, and as you say, wasn't even shown in any of the highlights packages that I've seen.
Must admit I thought it was a blatant penalty and was surprised when more wasn't made of the incident - Slade didn't mention it, and God knows he must be looking for every excuse possible at the moment, so thought I must have got it wrong.
