Was it a penalty?

Silvera no. And should play to the whistle not ust stop like that
Barlaser probably no - couldn't see as players were in front but didn't think so
 
They had a shout about five minutes in. Just in front of us and nailed on for me but probably one a typical ref bottles most times. Still, stop whinging. No shots on target. Well beat. This one wasn’t the ref.
 
Their shout - no way. Shoulder to shoulder.

Barlaser - didn't seem to be much in it.

Silvera - in real time I was convinced, but the replay showed less contact than I thought.

In terms of being held back by a defender inside the box, Silvera's shout was nowhere near as good as Forss' shout a couple of weeks ago, which was stonewall for me.
 
Silvera's was the kind of foul that should be given without player having to throw himself to the ground for it. He was pulled back clearly when potentially through on goal.

Barlaser not so sure, he really should have just pulled the trigger.
 
Was never ever the refs fault
We were dire from 1 to 11.
Plymouth absolutely the better team by a country mile.
The point I am trying tto make is the way cheating is rewarded in football today were if a player goes down/dives he is more likely to get a penalty than a player who stays on his feet like Silvera did.
