Blackpool could have had a 2nd penalty at 1-1 & Hamer would probably have been sent off. Robins said we were lucky in his post match interview.
I know I'm massively in the minority here but I actually think it's the correct decision. Yes he wins the ball first but then (unnecessarily) goes to ground & wipes out their player too.
The twat waving the imaginary card should have gone in the book himself too.
It’s the kind of rough challenge that some VAR jobsworth would no doubt want to have a look at - then we could spend five minutes waiting for Stroud to watch enough replays of it until he eventually decides to send McFadzean off instead. No complaints on here if that happened, I’m sure - VAR solves everything.
It's why I thought it was a foul in real time, although I didn't see him get the ball. It looked clumsy.

Thing is this why I hate it when our players go down softly in other areas of the pitch. The referee then subconsciously knows the players are trying to pull the wool over their eyes...hence why they have doubt when it happens in pen area
The ref should watch the replay and retract the yellow card , then give his head a jolly good wobble and resign.
And yet those teams that do it against us seem to get every decision.
Fadz has already played the ball with his left foot at this point, hasn't even made contact with their player who basically collides into Fadz. It was a truly bizarre decision.
Given by the lino though I think as he flagged and and Stroud gave him a thumbs up after he booked Fadz.
and this was the Cuffy pen. He did clip his own foot, but only because their player had already caught his back foot -
If we had var we may have also seen our 1st goal against Sunderland ruled out, though I thought they were fair challenges from McNally. These decisions tend to balance themselves out over the season. Really can't stand var.
I don't know why this irked me so much, but here's a gif of the Fadz booking

It isnt even a foul.
I think it was number 21 who came in waving his imaginary card as he did with every challenge no shock to see is Portuguese.
There was a Portuguese lad at my school, he was an absolute bellend to play any sport with. They must teach being an intolerable shithouse from day 0.
Anyone who "waves a card" should receive one themselves
Let’s see the three YES THREE penalty appeals from yesterday .They should be reviewed by EFL which of course they won’t be .
But if they were Stroud would have his license to referee suspended .
Absolute clown.

100% agree with this. I'd also have a third man in rule. One player from each side can talk to the ref about any incident but if a third person starts moaning straight in the book
All this sort of shit could be stamped out pretty easily if they wanted to do something about it
Outstanding tackle.
But it's in the rules you're not allowed to tackle then loose your footing because your fat legs are going too fast for your big frame and you fall over and as a result the person you've just beaten fairly to the ball which is clear because you can see the direction of the ball has changed then falls over as a result of the person who dispossessed the ball from you whose momentum continues rather than come to a complete stop after fairly taking the ball away from you and then you are entitled to get straight up and wave an imaginary card in order for the match official to then proffer a yellow card for someone who has just fairly won the ball and committed no foul. Phew deep breath no commas and only one full stop.
That's not really accountability or punishment though.
Will be back in a couple of weeks as if nothing happened.
That's a fair opinion but what's the alternative when there already isn't enough referees to go around?
Probably to actually punish them for blatant mistakes like that. Yeah, everybody makes mistakes but especially when you have somebody with VAR watching it over and over and still getting it wrong it's unforgiveable and borderline match fixing. (when you look at the Brighton game).
See the Rochdale goal as well.
Our linesman on Saturday barely kept up with play, there was once where he had no clue who's throw it was as he wasn't paying attention.
They need to be held accountable rather than every time somebody mentions it it ending up as "they get abuse in Sunday league".
Presumably the same should apply to players who ask the ref for a booking as well?
Perform badly, get dropped. Perform better, maybe you come back. Sounds like accountability to me.
It was meant to be pusbccfc, it was just a jokeFound that very difficult to read
