Even if it was a penalty be careful not to get too critical, people do not like that and they go to the stewards.

How is it not the point. If we had been given a penalty and scored it we could have gone on to win our first home game of the season and suddenly the pressure which has been affecting the team at Withdean in recent weeks is lessened. Decisions like that can change seasons.
Yes we were poor and did not deserve to win but the penalty would have been the opportunity we needed.
Not entirely sure but didn't the lino flag for offside hence no penalty?

having just seen the incident again on the tellybox, there is absolutely no doubt that the ref got it horribly wrong
definate pen and probably a sending off

Just done the same with the slo-mo.
Defender mis-times his tackle and takes the player not the ball.
Penalty and probably a sending off.
You win some you lose some.
Hereford should have been buried and us not relying on penalty decisions to beat poor sides.

I thought that a more critical decision was the one in the first half when their player brought Murray down on the edge of the box, definitely not a penalty but to give a yellow card when Murray was in front of the goal and getting ready to shoot a definite goal scoring opportunity that was denied and the player got exactly what he wanted; he stopped Murray scoring.
