Penalty

Sat Feb 23, 2019 2:07 pm

From the back of the Canton stand it looked like a penalty and if you'd been stood in the car park it still would have looked like a penalty.

I felt that the short, fat , bald tw*t of a ref was never going to give it and there have been a number of threads here suggesting that it was a major turning point in the game, that it would have been different if we had gone in at half time 1-1 and even Warnock moaned asyou would expect, and rightly so.

However even if the penalty had been given there was no guarantee that we would have scored from it.

The only player on the pitch for us who had taken a penalty was Ralls and we all know what happened with the last one he took at West Ham. And who can forget the Wolves game last season?

Who do you think should have taken the penalty if it had been awarded last night?

The general consensus around by me was that the best person to take it would have been Etheridge! :thumbup:

As all the pundits said on sky today what part of that tackle was not a penalty? What makes the decision worse was fact he was 10yds away looking straight at it with the perfect angle. Just love to know why he didn't give it not i made mistake? Ffs hes only one in country who didn't see a penalty.... :banghead:

I sitin the Canton as well and I thought it was a penalty straight away. How can the ref not give it when he had such a clear view. If he can’t make such an easy decision as that, perhaps he shouldn’t be referring at all.

I'm in the family stand and was genuinely astounded that he didn't give it. Why can't he come out and say what he thought he saw? Did he think the defender got the ball or it was a dive? I just don't get why he isn't give it.

He should be demoted to the championship for such a poor decision or suspended from all matches for the rest of the season.
