Really annoying to see our penalty shout not shown on Seagulls World. Anyone seen it on any other coverage?

I didn't have clear view, but my son did and he said it was a definite.

our first or second claim?

not so sure about the first one , the second one seemed abit more creditable but like you wouldn't mind seeing it again with a fresh pair of eyes

Yes it was a definite pen, Barnes was ahead of their guy in the box heading towards goal and their guy brought him down from behind, landing on top of him and having never looked like getting the ball.

I can't figure out how the ref decided it wasn't a pen and a red card to their player. - He hadn't overrun the ball, didn't slip over and he wasn't diving and had just the keeper to beat, so why did the ref think he went down then if he wasn't being foulded?

The only reason i can think of as to why the ref didn't give it was due to him bottling it, which would run true to form judging by the rest of the match and the other big decisions he bottled too.
