It was!Am I missing something about the pen? I was only half watching but it looked the blatant pen you'd see
Would Clarke still have got the ball even after he got the merest of touches? The answer is yes, therefore his contact on Clarke is a foul.That isn't how it works. Most good tackles are getting the ball first then the man. Doesn't mean it's a foul unless it excessive force. Otherwise no-one would ever be able to make a sliding tackle
Me too, thought they were excellent, admitting they were wrong a few times after seeing replay’s. Shows how tough a referees job is. For instance I feared the worst when I saw Bairstow’s challenge first time, they were calling for a red aswell, after seeing it from another angle it was clear it wasn’t a dangerous tackle and they admitted that.On the same tangent, was impressed by Millwall's commentary team. Called it largely down the line, and acknowledged the odd bit of bias.
They were very good on my stream, knowledgeable and very fair all round.On the same tangent, was impressed by Millwall's commentary team. Called it largely down the line, and acknowledged the odd bit of bias.

The ball wasn’t won though! He merely got a nick on it, that’s not winning the ball!Theres contact after the ball has been won, as happens with a lot of challenges. Contact doesn't mean its a foul.
It’s amazing how many football fans don’t know the rules of the game, or even remotely - a free kick, penalty or even a yellow or red card can be given, even if the defender touches the ball first, if a referee deems a challenge unlawfulrubbish , he took out clarke so whether he touched the ball or not , he stopped clarke continuing his run
got the ball I’d be livid if it was against us
Still took him out and prevented Clarke getting ball … there was a second phase if you likeThey get the penna wrong, their lad gets a touch on the ball.
That would be the same fans who claim that they don't care that nobody likes them, right?Weird. The consensus on here appears to be that it was a pen. Over on the Millwall board they are up in arms about it.

He did ok because he gave us stuffThought he done ok
One issue was when he let play go on for a while then gave Millwall a phantom free kick against Clarke a think
Strange
Did it ever? Has anyone actually read the laws of the game - because "getting the ball first" is not in them.Usually id agree. Can't remember what match it was last week when VAR got involved and give the pen even though the player got a touch.
In today's game Clarke's was a certain pen. Clearly the faintest of touches on the ball doesn't matter anymore

The ones that don’t give us stuff are the shit ones
Ok. So if you make contact with the ball then follow thru and break a players ankle ? Then what?I don't care enough to read them to be honest pal. Today's game is soft as shite and for me if you make contact with the ball first you've won the ball
You'd have to ask our resident pair of ref defenders on here, but for me you have to take control of the ball or at least make the attacker lose control of the ball.Well this isn't true tho is it ?
What tfk is "stuff". ?

He didn’t tho. He tackled Clarke around the side, took the ball and then the player. It was a tackle plain and simple and the reason the ref had ‘a good game for once’ is because a very contentious decision went for us rather than against us.Well this isn't true tho is it ?

Apart from the fact he didnt take the ball, he got the slightest nick on it. Taking the ball means to take it off someone.He didn’t tho.
