RoyalBlueBig ErnRoyalBlue That was a penalty! Goalbound shot stopped by defender's arm, which wasn't tucked into his side!
Would have been harsh. Think no pen was the correct if not the desired decision.
Seen far too many of them given and people sent off in that situation (Adi Williams!). Given that 99.99% of the time the officials ignore the word 'deliberate' in the law, it's just our luck that we get the 0.01%!
FIFA need to make their minds up. Either remove the word 'deliberate' or stop officials awarding penalties when it clearly isn't.
Yeah, but the sort of ref that would have given us a penalty would have given one against HRK too. Swings and roundabouts.
