The two penalty shouts

[redandwhiterob]

Fwiw the Ballard one was very difficult to see unless your watching from the perfect angle. The O'Nien one he should have seen really but again we've seen the slow motion replays from the best angles. Once there happens you tend to forget the ref only had his one look at full speed from his angle. Ultimately it should have been given but not as obvious to spot as the replays will suggest

 

[Super Ted]

Thanks for that insight mate.

We were due a break from the referees.

They went down under a breath of wind man….looking for it all night cheating bastards

O'Nien managed to foul and handball in the same move from what I saw.

 

[Kumbuka]

For the second one I don't think the ref can make the call in real time. The linesman on the other hand had a great view of it!

Fair play to you lot who watched us draw with Leeds 0-0 I’m way past that stage of caring in a meaningless game and enjoyed Real Madrid Man City

 

[Mackem00]

Win some ye lose some. The only reason we have VAR in football is because people couldn't handle officials making genuine mistakes.

 

[ca8msm]

We'd have been furious if they weren't given for us. He should have easily have spotted the handball, everyone in the ground and at home did.

 

[Peter Crumb]

What on earth was Onien even trying to do.

Blows my mind that a Sunderland supporter would do this but each to their own.

Would be raging if we were on the wrong end of them, but like ya said hard for the officials to see and they can't guess. With no VAR at this level it's just one of those things, can't slate the ref for them but the second one was stone wall.

I don’t forget the ref only has one look at it.

It’s always been that way watching Sunderland.

Tonight we got lucky

 

[L1lyBrown]

Weep for Leeds?
Fuck 'em

 

[danbob]

I'd be raging if I was a Leeds fan. Particularly Onien shaking his hand in pain

Watching it live did not spot either of them

And get away with it

Must admit it was a tough one but I made the right call
