Anyone get a decent view of that penalty decision?

[The Large One]

McGhee on Radio 5 thought it was a stuck-on penalty, and from where I was (a mere 120 yards away), it looked like a pen to me. Anyone get a better view than the one most of us had...?

 

[Mustela Furo]

I was side on in the main stand and it looked nailed on to me as well

I agree with McGhee, it was a penalty end of story from what i could see, funny thing is that Molango fouled a Reading defender exactly the same way 5 minutes after the penalty decision and guess what?... Free kick to Reading.

My thought at the time was the it was a pen, but the ref was unsighted. Sorry, blind.

Was a definate pen

Reading fans thoughts on it...

They thought it was a penalty but handball by Molango first. Ref musta bottled it.

i thought it was a penalty, but then i also thought cullip was lucky to stay on when he pulled that bloke to the ground in the second half

He wasn't the last man. Luckily.

and the player was going slightly away from goal, which helped as well. that would've been all we needed, cullip out for 3 matches

He was not heading towards goal, therefore the yellow card was correct.

Mind u the bloke did go down quicker than the Titanic!!

looked like a pen, but reading fans could argue cullip could have been sent off when he pulled their player back if we had been given that pen.

The ref bottled it - end of. Let's move on.

Definite penalty
Great show by all 4 new players, especially Jarrett
Looks good!

On SCR Norman Gall apparently swore it should have been but over the season they even themselves out.

But it took the Titanic hours to sink.

Can't see any reason why a player making his debut , who'd already scored once and was about to shoot from 8 yards out would suddenly fall over.

Penalty. No doubt.
