[Albion] Our penalty / our non-penalty

[Bozza]

The one we were given looked very, very soft. I was convinced it would be VARed out.

Then, later in the game, Pedro did seem to be absolutely wiped out in the box - looked to be a certain penalty, but it wasn't given. We scored the third seconds later, so it may have been subsequently given by a VAR review - who knows.

Just me?

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Well yes. I've not seen any replays, but in real time, it looked like one penalty should have been given today, and it wasn't the two that were

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

100% agree. Pedro was taken out by a badly timed tackle/slide no where near the ball. I was so livid about it I missed the actual goal.

 

[Stat Brother]

Yeah just you.

From my new position, in the North, the actual penalty was a stonewall forearm to the head.

I can't fully place the non penalty but that in itself says it all.

 

[Guinness Boy]

This. David Coutts is a useless ref though.

Ha - me too!

I think he got a slight touch on the ball first.

100% with you in WSU. Soft pen and he dived into it and got contact (our second). Theirs - wanna see it again but soft as f*** considering it was on the corner of the box and match thread suggests it was harsh. 3rd one - stonewall and had Adingra not scored I’d have expected a clear VAR. Ref was pretty shit. Made a rod for own back in 6th min - wasn’t sure on giving a free kick then gave Pervs an unwarranted yellow. Lost it from there onwards as there were prob 15 or so yellows to give if Pervs one was. Poor.

[nwgull]

We sit in WSL near enough in line with the 2 incidents. Everyone around us was convinced that the decision would be overturned for the first. Also general consensus that 2nd was stonewall if Adingra hadn’t capitalised on the defensive cock up.

No - agree 100%. I didn’t get a good look at the Welbeck one earlier, but think that would have been soft as well.

The first one from West middle looked very soft.

 

[sjamesb3466]

The one we got was soft but definitely a clash of knees and then an arm across so enough for it not to have been overturned as a clear and obvious error. I think if it hadn't been given I don't think VAR would have overruled that either, one of those.

Second one looked a great tackle on the TV

Player ran past Pervs then took a dive, ref fell for it. Two footed lunge on Milner and not even booked?

 

[Guinness Boy]

"The referee's a banker"

That my phone auto corrected to that suggests I spent way too long discussing Nige’s bank account

 

[Sheebo]

Just seen it back.

1) Pedros wasn’t as big a dive / con as it looked - he did get an elbow in head - soft pen but can see why wasn’t overturned

2) Dunks - utterly mental - humans have arms. Shocking decision that thankfully didn’t cost us.

3) Second one on Pedro - same angle I saw it in real time - still looks a pen - may have got a bit of ball but seems to have gone through the back of him.

4) Sidenote but Adringa was there to tap in Evans goal - great hunger and runs from both.

 

[oldboyroy]

Both soft ish penalties and was certain a hand ball call later in game which was not looked at. Mind you it was only the North Stand that appealed don't recall any players appealing

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

Yes, I couldn’t understand that one on Milner. I thought the ref was waiting to see what VAR would advise, but no yellow card was bizarre

 

[Giraffe]

From the East the Wellbeck one looked more like a penalty.

 

[Mad as my Mother]

From the East the Wellbeck one looked more like a penalty.

Yeah I'd agree that looked fairly well nailed on, but haven't seen the replay yet.

 

[A1X]

Second one looked a stonewaller from nearby in WSL
