Dunk's handball...

[TheDuke]

....it was most surely an upper arm used to fend off the ball but was he pushed into the position. We were lucky I think.

Indeed - rather similar to the Bruno pen at Fulham. Lucky, I think.

First viewing m, clear pen. Second viewing clear shove to cause that handball. Third viewing, after the push some odd ploy to push Dunk's arm up onto the ball after the push!?

Decision - No pen...!

Is right.

Is right.

Here's one for you, as this is the featured game on C5 tonight.. Will ANY pundit mention the push, let alone the push in the arm?

I watched this a number of times too, Dunk's arm was pushed up to make contact with the ball. Did the Barnsley player mean to do it? I'd have been livid if the ref had given that.

Me too with my B&W specs on. However... you would not have been too surprised if a pen was given. Anyhow... makes up for the Murray kick in the head. 15 all!

Not worth discusding as if given Stockdale would have saved the penalty anyway

Similar to Bruno's as in where it hit him, but Bruno had no-one around him and it was poor control that lead to the hand ball. Dunk was pushed IMO and it should have been a free kick to us.

Depends what pundits they have as guest mumblers, it's usually forwards who look like they've dressed up for job interviews, who'll always have forward mentality.
Bring back Adam Virgo, at least he always entertaining

All of this is the right answer.

 

[graz126]

from where I was stood at opposite end of the pitch it looked a peno. but not as much as Baldock's when he got booked.

He was probably pissed off it WASN'T given......

 

[Jbanged]

Not worth discusding as if given Stockdale would have saved the penalty anyway

Is another correct answer

 

[Stat Brother]

He was probably pissed off it WASN'T given......

Although the penalty not being given does guarantee he doesn't get seven shades of shite beaten out of him.


Swings and roundabouts.

 

[brightn'ove]

Stonewall penno, cheers ref

Agreed. Not sure why it is being debated. At the game it would probably have been easy to miss but looking at the highlights it was clearly a foul on Dunk and should have been a free kick to us.

 

[Wardy's twin]

Just watched the second showing of the game highlights on channel 5. Commentator asks why does Dunk's arm unnatural swing upwards ? can he not see the man pushing it....never a penalty

 

[king B]

From the away end could clearly see him get push by their player

 

[sparkie]

He gets more than a push, you can actually see the Barnsley player lifting Dunk's arm towards the ball on the replays.
