I thought it was a soft penalty at the time but, having seen the replays it was a very clear and deliberate shove in the back.
I also think Puscas had a very good claim for another for us as he was pushed from behind when clear of the defender. Again, night have been 'soft' but it still looked a deliberate contact from behind.
First penalty was 100% the second one, seen them given but I think the ref gave the benefit of the doubt to the defender on that one, but certainly could've been given.
No way was the second one a penalty
The main difference being is that Baldock used his hands to ease away Rinomhota whereas JOC used his shoulders. Big difference

Think the third one, late on in extra time was very close. Think it was Yiadom who was almost on the goal line inside the area and hit a cross which clearly was blocked by a defender’s arm. Only thing that saved him IMHO was he was pretty close to Yiadom and the ref must of judged that as a premier league defender he didn’t intentionally handle the ball.

Westwood52 The comment about the modern player not being two footed is very true.When I first started watching football,all the top footballers use to comment about working on their weaker foot.I seem to recall that our 2005 side only had one player who was genuinely two footed,and that was Doyle.Even at the top level the majority of players are not two footed.I remember during the Brazil World Cup;a great deal was made of Rooney being predominantly right footed,and Sturridge being predominantly left footed.Do modern top level coaches at junior level,even concentrate on working on players weaker foot.if not why not ?There are very few modern top level footballers who are genuinely two footed.
I wonder also in training what the RFC coaches do in training with regard to throw ins and in particular corners.We rarely score from corners.Yet some teams absolutely rely on set pieces for the majority of their goals;think Pulis and Allardyce teams.

paultheroyal Was going to put this in club policies but will stick it in here.
The turnstiles failed for a number of people on Tuesday night and the customer care / support was an absolute joke. Cant remember the gate but it serves Y24 etc. I got my son through for then to have my card fail. I have to trust him to stand the other side whilst i go back out to sort it. You then have one woman serving a large crowd of people because by now a number of turnstiles were failing. I was one of the first in the queue to be seen and have card reset - and i finally got to my seat at 8:10pm having waited a good 15 minutes. Queue to be seen was a good 20 deep at this point and i think they were beginning to let people in through large doors with paper tickets. Either way it was an utter shambles.

I didn't go to this game because I'm a plastic, but I certainly had turnstile issues for the Barnsley game.

I agree. When I was a kid I spent years practising kicking a ball against a brick wall at my home in an attempt to make my weaker left foot match the abilities of the right foot. If only modern players had the same determination to improve.
Eventually I succeeded and I learned to kick as well with my left foot as my right. Didn't alter the fact that I was crap with both feet of course.

bcubed And I reckon I could cross the ball with my left foot to a reasonable standard. Certainly wouldn't keep coming back on to my right foot as most modern players do.
Drives me nuts because if I could do it why can't these guys, who are, after all, doing nothing else but play and practise football?

I'm sure they grew up practising two footed too and could run rings round all the two-footed Hob Nobbers while wearing a barnacle-encrusted clog on their right foot. But it's about fine margins, and I guess they'd often rather be accurate with their right foot than risk a lower accuracy level pass or shot with their left. But there was definitely one glaring opportunity for Swift to shoot with his left which he frustratingly declined.

Thats not about being capable in batting both right and left though. I'm actually the same (though obviously at a rubbish level) when playing cricket, and batting right handed feels completely unnatural strangely. Must just be some brain wiring

My old man is the same, bowls right handed but bats left handed. Hound is right, that isn't just about being good with both hands, it is just a bit of a quirk.
Whereas someone like Ronnie O'Sullivan, he has as good with his left as he is with his right.

Of course they do. Peofessional footballers these days are nearly always much better with their weaker foot than they used to be.
Kitson and Harper were both more two-footed than Doyle. Doyle always took set pieces with his right, Kitson mixed it up.
