Sour Grapes

I don't agree - had he of given that it would of been proberly the harshest of decisions. OK he did pull his shirt but no where near enough to get the reaction that came from the balckburn player IMO.

It doesn't matter how hard you pull someone's shirt, it's against the laws of the game to do it, and if you do it in the penalty area it's a penalty.
I know a lot of players do it and get away with it, but that doesn't make it right.

Well if that were the case then we should of had penatlies from all our corners, they were pushing and pullin us all over the place - at least he was consistantly crap.

What happens a lot at corners is there's loads of pushing and pulling going on before the corner is taken (so the ref can't award a penalty, because the ball isn't in play), and it mostly stops when the kick is taken.

The ref had an awful game, and it wasn't just the penalty decision. Yeah of course I wouldn't have been complaining if it was our penalty but Kenton got some of the ball, then Pederson just fell over when there was no need to.

Actually, Kenton gone none of the ball.

A 1-0 defeat to Blackburn and everyone moaning about a highly dubious penalty - reminds me of my first visit to Wembley

I think the main thing is that the ref wasnt gonna give it, it was the linesman, who i can't believe had a good view, but there you go...
