From the South East in line with it it looked a stonewall pen, but seeing it from the camera angle last night it did not not look so blatant.
On film no, but at the actual game yes it was, if all that make sense
How could it have been a pen. Adam isn't like that! More to the point, how did they keep 11 men on the field?..Noone was consistently kicked all over the place
I saw the replay on tv, and it was clear that the attacking player was intent on bullying AeA out of his way so he could get the ball.
Nobody has a right to do that, and when this larger fellow failed in his attempt, he went whinging to the referee.
Refs are not there to give one side preferential treatment over another.
Watching from the WSL I thought it wasn't a penalty, as El Abd looked to be in front. I believed those who sat closer and said it was though.
having now seen it several times on the football league show, definitely not a penalty. El Abd was pulled back, so the foul could have been given to us.
