Referee Analysis Stoke (2 Viewers)

[Johhny Blue]

Ref didn’t have many if any big decisions.
Pen shouts. Probably got both right . Will we ever get one?
I thought he missed a few fouls in midfield
Probably should have booked Hamer
Let the game flow pretty well
Overall rating 7

I thought he was not bad today and I can't stand refs usually but credit where its due

Thought it was a nailed on handball for us, disliked the assault on Allen when he must have bounced for 10 yards, but also liked him allowing Hamer to do 2 late challenges in the space of five seconds. 7 out of 10 from me too.

With regards to the pen shout. What is the actual wording of the law?
It was one of those that’s worth a shout but would be really mad to see given against us.

Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct

IFAB Laws of the Game

The key criteria are these 2...

- deliberately touches the ball with their hand/arm, including moving the hand/arm towards the ball

- the hand/arm has made their body unnaturally bigger

Clear as day that it was neither & so never a penalty in a million years & anyone claiming otherwise is clutching at straws.

All those saying it would definitely be given against us obviously doesn't remember the Reading game either.
