The Pompey pel that wasn’t given

I can’t understand why it’s still rattling on. Ref didn’t give it. No penalty. Or am I missing something.
Exactly, it’s the over analysis of incidents by fans, pundits, TV companies etc. that brought about what everyone (almost) now hates V.A. fecking R, ref got it right ......move on.
 
Me neither. Not even sure about the freekick before our second. He lost the ball being off balance and stumbled into McGeady's path nothing McGeady could do at that point.
Regardless of that they were in comfortable possession with their own throw under on pressure until their lad played a square ball which three other couldnt control

Some are missing the Portmouth player's touch, although it's irrelevant as it wasn't a penna anyway regardless of the 1st touch

On another day a ref may well have given it as we've had some shit officiating in this league but this one had some sense on this occasion. Some who say it isn't a penna now would be screaming "PELANTY!" if it was up the other end and Wyke getting the 1st touch, it's the Sunderland way ;) :lol:

Yes, the point of the thread. We know the referee didn't give it, the question is 'should he have given it?' If you don't have any interest in that question, then don't answer it, surely?

The referee didn't give it, doesn't mean it wasn't a foul. That would be like me standing outside in pi55ing rain arguing that it isn't raining because the weather man said so ;)

He could have justifiably given, or justifiable not. Grey area decision.

On another day the ref would have made the right call to not give the corner. The rest is a judgement call the corner shouldnt have been given

That's true, the corner was a factual error. I don't understand why VAR can intervene on subjective decisions (like fouls), but not on blatant factual errors like 'who did it touch last'. Imagine you concede a last minute corner, that was a blatant error, and then concede a contentious penalty. VAR can be used to give the penalty, but not to contend the blatant factual error that directly led to the penalty?

After 12 pages I’m hardly missing the point. I’m slow but not that slow. The point I think is that it wasn’t a penalty and it rightly wasn’t given as such. Your analogy isn’t appropriate here as you’d obviously be getting wet. No doubt about that 😁

The one he gave "against" Wyke beggared belief.

I nearly jumped into the telly to remonstrate. Couldn’t believe what I was watching.
Fuck off man. We’d be swinging by the rafters if that was us not being given that penalty! 😆

Fuck em tho.

There were hardly any appeals from the Portsmouth players and the ball goes in the direction Flanagan clears it.

It wasn’t a penalty.

1. Kicks the ball first, not a penalty
2. Diving cheat should have been sent off earlier - if anybody is hard done by it is us.
3. No idea if it was a "pel"

Was only going to be one winner in this game, why 12 pages of this crap? Ref was consistent all night and probably aware that they have had 10 penalties this season. mostly by taking dives. Horrible team, with some horrible fans; would not be unhappy for them to be on the wrong end of a decision anyway.

People like a reason to play down a good result. Similar happened when we beat Lincoln 1-4, was threads about how we could have been 2-0 down etc.
 
The ball can’t go the direction it does unless Flanagan gets a hell of a lot on the ball. Absolutely understandable that the ref doesn’t give it when the ball goes firing over his shoulder at pace.
If that came off their player it was a f***ing awful touch!!!!!

Anyone would think it was a turning point in the game, fact is we were by far the better team in all areas of the pitch.
 
Not a penalty and Marquis should have been sent off for diving about all night. That would have changed the game a bit, 0-5 probably.
 
So reckless by Flanners, situations like this just raise doubts about his ability going forward. Agree with Super Kev.

That Marquis one, felt a slight touch on his back and he's owwa, sad but thats the game now. The tit could have scored.
