Son reckons the tackle by Dunk in the 1st half should have been a penalty 100% From my seat I didnt think so.

Did anyone see the Dunk header in the second half from a corner? Almost had his shirt ripped off by their defender; just as bad as the penalty he gave away against Burnley.

Yes I saw that, as it was almost in front of me.
No Brentford shouldn't have had a penalty. The ball was played before the player went down.
Does that exonerate the foul

So why are people saying it was 100% a penalty if there was no contact or foul.
Didn't think it would, but..........
Best stick with the standard manager's response. "I didn't have a clear view of it, and I haven't had a chance to watch the replays yet." Problem solved!
Shot was got away cleanly before the foul, but then the one Greer gave away, was it against Burnley away ? The guy had already crossed it before the foul and the penalty was given. So if that is the law, then it is a penalty, if it isn't, Greer's shouldn't have been. Hope that clears it up !!!

Nothing to say that you have to have the ball to be fouled (otherwise an elbow in the face when jumping for a 50:50 would not even be a foul). This was a pen IMO and Dunk was lucky.
