Our pen shout, second half…

[Ketterfox]

I was there so didn’t have the benefit of a replay from every angle. Think it was Fatawu who went down in the box but the genius in black gave it a yard outside - can’t find it on any highlights. What really happened.
By the way, stone cold Sunderland pen not given in first half - said so live - twice as bad on replay

 

[Yorkfox]

Slight tug outside the area and went down dramatically inside , never a penalty

I thought it was a pen
Foul began outside the box but continued inside therefore a pen
How he didn't give theirs Buck knows

If the foul continues into the box it's a pen

Didnt think it did. To me it was a fairly straightforward case of a player trying to fool the official.

I don't know about our penalty shout, but Faes got away with when he brought their man down in the box.

 

[bnet]

it looked clear to me and so did theirs, but who knows unless you see it again.

 

[bnet]

then again what about Vestithing being strangle in the box and them getting a free kick.

I like the name Vestithing Bnet - Much better than Swanvesta

He started pulling at his top someway outside the penalty area and he finally went over in the box. It was a clear foul.

And Vestithing getting a yellow card as well. Genius.

That was the worst decision the ref made all night amongst many. Vestergaard clearly fouled but he booked both as there was a tiny bit of handbags. Typical bottle decision. Just say ‘now now boys stop that’ and move on. I could see someone getting a second yellow last night as he was boxing himself into a corner

Dya think it was a pen though, I thought a foul outside but not a penalty

Right in front of me. Should've been a pen, if not then a goal kick. One thing it wasn't was a corner. Ref was hopeless.

 

[Weller]

I really believe the ref was trying to make ammends for there penalty shout!!! I do like the Vestithing actually works!!!!

 

[hackneyfox]

I thought free kick but as GTIF has since pointed out if it continues into the penalty area then it's penalty.

 

[Nomadic Fox]

I thought Fatawu was fouled twice - initial effort outside the area, gets away before being fouled again inside the area. Either way it looked a penalty.

For the Sunderland one, little appealing from their players I thought.

A few people around me were calling him
Vesta God , which made me smile.

Fatawu's shirt was definitely grabbed by the defender outside of the area and continued well into it

Question I have, as it wasn't indicated on the stream that I was watching...did the defender get booked for it?

 

[jackieguaccamo]

On twitter he’s VESTERGOAT..

Yes

 

[Lozfox1978]

Pundits on Sky which I viewed on return home said no penalty as foul began outside area. Faes’s was nailed on but Refs view was blocked by other players. Why the Lino didn’t flag for it is a mystery. The officials were dire last night.

p.s. I wish the oppo fans, their garden gnome manager and the tv pundits would remember that a penalty is not a goal. It has to be scored and we know from experience it’s far from certain.

 

[wints]

Wasnt even a foul, inside or outside of the box. Definite dive by Fatawu.

Having your shirt pulled is a foul nowadays isn’t it?

 

[ArmadaSur]

I was sat directly in line with it, and it was 100% a foul.
It did start outside the box and carried on into the box.
Based on the fact that on every occasion the ref tried to play on with the advantage, why did he pull that one back after seeing what happened ?

 

[Yorkfox]

Taking it a stage further, as it seems like a small majority on here viewed it as being a penalty would there have been enough for a clear and obvious error reversal if VAR had been in operation?

Yes there would

If you could just get your mate Dermot to confirm that, then I'll know I'm definitely right

I just have and you are wrong
