No fans of course it’s a pen

I think the fact that Stewart is slightly ahead of Fry “gives him the right” to act like he’s been fouled. We shouldn’t have been defending in away to let that be the case. It gives the officials to make whatever decision they want to.

Overall though we weren’t very good today
 
He bottled it, plain and simple. Referee was quite a long way behind play if I recall. It's 50/50 at best.

An experienced, competent ref gives no decision and lets the ball run through to the keeper, thus avoiding the need to make a difficult decision either way.

This clown felt the crowd go up and either thought "they're probably right" or "I'll get slaughtered if I don't give this".

Right now, I'm actually in favour of going even further than VAR and taking the on-pitch ref out of the equation. Let them get on with it and make every knowledge from the VAR room where they can actually see and understand what's taken place.
 
Linesman 20 yards away. He didn’t flag but will have had radio contact with ref. His input will have been critical, especially around the placement of the foul
 
I noticed a few people say their legs tangled but unless there's another angle of it then I can't see that at all? Looks like Fry puts his arm across him a few times, Stewart keeps running until he gets into the area and can't reach the ball so decides to dive forward which is strange for someone being "pulled back".

Like I said on another thread though, we didn't control what we could control, we should never have been in that position it was awful defending that repeteadly allowed them to put balls in behind until one cost us.
 
There's no foul there sorry, it's a stumble, barley even a dive. I can see the red getting overturned and Stewart getting charged. I think if you con the ref and get away with it you can be banned retrospectively, is that correct?

When was the last time that happened?
