Not seen much comment on their penalty but from my view in the Canton it looked very soft and watching the highlights hasn't changed my mind.
There seemed to be hardly any contact by Robertson and if anything their player seemed to throw his leg against Robertson and went down much too easily.
Having said that, there didn't seem to be too many protests from our players, not even from Robertson himself.

That was a penalty all day every day & it was a stupid thing to do.

I've not seen it back but it looked like Robertson pulled his shirt, maybe soft but we can't really complain. Bad decision by Robertson, it gives the referee a decision to make.
But what's frustrating is we had our players having their shirts pulled during the game (not in the penalty area) and the referee didn't give anything. If he gave the penalty then he had to give those fouls.
I think Robertson has had a good start to the season and I'm a big fan of him, but unfortunately he was at fault for both goals today. I expect Bielik will take the six role when Lawlor or Chambers are back and Robertson will compete with the other midfielders to play further up.

It wasn't a shirt pull but a trip. However, their player seemed to trail his foot as if he was looking for a penalty.

Never a penalty their player put his leg into ours in var terms he instigated the contact and that is not a pen if in premier league...ref was crap and this decision sums him up.

I agree, soft, but that's how it goes. We deserved to win, but that's life.

It was definitely a shirt pull i could see it from the ninian but it's a shame the ref didn't see it when it happened at the other end

I thought it was an obvious penalty when I was at the ground (Canton) but seeing it back its very debatable.

I don’t see how it can be disputed. It was blatant for me, and the only question should be with regard to the referees inconsistency when the same offence happened to Salech (more than once)

Shirt pull was outside area and not enough to bring him down city players arm at full length.....ref was blinded by that ...he thought player was pulled down when he wasn't replay shows sheff player put leg out in unnatural position to kick city player ... that player dived all game whingi6 at ref for slightest thing championship version of grealish

Have you seen replay of it ? City players arm was at fill stretch and didn't do anything to stop his run it was afterwards
That he decided to use his leg to catch city defenders he practically did the splits his leg was that far out of position.. guess its a matter of opinion but obviously gave the ref opportunity to award pen and he was happy to do so..
