Right, in the cold light of day I have just watched the goals again and still believe that if that penalty was against your boys you would be livid and rightfully so.
However can't blame the boy for going down and have to blame Paterson for being naive in going anywhere near him to give him the excuse to lose control of his legs.
Paterson was clumsy as was Morgan. Both penalties were soft in my opinion. Morgan hasn't deliberately taken Mackie down, he's merely fell over his own feet and they've clashed. We'd all be laughing out loud if Mackie hadn't been there. Paterson as you say was naive. There was no danger to you guys where Drinkwater was and Paterson gave the ref an easy decision. Reid's frustration towards him was evident.
Billy has made himself look quite an idiot harping on about Mahrez being in the box when the penalty was taken. I suspect if he watches that again he'll realise that he's made himself look a bit silly. Mahrez is no further forward than your number 3 when the ball is well on the way towards Darlow - a cracking save I may add.
You will feel hard done by, almost 30 minutes with a man advantage however we as a team over the course of the season have been consistently good. You may disagree on our performances against you guys however the table doesn't lie.
On a separate note, I fully backed your chairmans decision in another thread about the splitting of the away end. I was quite surprised to see 'the other half' not even one quarter full. Do you think he'll suddenly realise that his decision is probably costing him over £1m a season in lost revenue?
