…either that or opposing players need to learn to catch the ball rather than just palm it away when in their own area. :thumbup:

Strange that I think most Refs afficiating in the Championship are English. And the only 2 teams yet to be awarded a pen are Welsh US and the Swans. Makes you wonder doesent it?

We probably wasn't Welsh when Bothroyd was diving all over the place then.....

For seasons we have been a physical direct "bullying" team with little attacking intent or flair. I think sublimely refs are tougher on us because of the perception of our toughness so it has to be a proper chop or a handball akin to a mark in rugby.

Moore, Hugil, Mozza, Flint get mugged on corner but refs just don't give it. They give it when they believe the defender was done with speed or trickery; something that has been amiss this season.

I reckon Issak Davies will get on this season
