What do you expect their player to do when he has been lunged towards and has to react in less than a second?

Any tackle where the player catches the other player on the thigh yes probably will be given.

Absolutely the worst decision of the game. The only thing I can think is he was playing advantage to see if we could get a goal with the keeper out?

Their player runs straight Thomas makes the lunge.

Mate you are deluded if it was the other way round you'd be screaming.

Not if both players are going for the ball and have a chance of going for it. If it was a diving header in to someone's thigh I'm not sure how that would play out...

He didn't initiate the contact Thomas dived across he carried on running straight. Thomas initiated the contact. Just because it was half a second after the ball was played doesn't make it less true.

It wasn't contact with his foot or shin it was his thigh I don't think you'd get away with it anywhere on the pitch.

It isn't a red card I have repeatedly said that but on balance I think it is a pen.

The player would have left his feet so wouldn't be at a normal height you'd expect them so I'd suggest no foul given. His boot doesn't strike their players foot it's a fair way up the leg which makes it different. I think there's a fair amount of Sky blue glasses being used here. Similarly...

I can't believe this is a hill you are willing to die on after everyone in the sky studio and Mark Robins said it was a pen I'd trust their judgement over yours any day of the week.

All I'm saying is he makes contact and that gives the ref a decision to make. I think it's way worse as his leg is locked out so rather than hitting and crumpling it lifts the player off the ground. The fact his leg only has one place to go is probably why the ref deemed it dangerous. At the...

I just don't get how people are blind to it...

There was less than a second between him playing the ball and making contact I don't see how he tries to make contact. Even Robins said it was a pen I'm not sure why you are arguing it. What I was saying about locking the leg is it lifts their player off the floor which makes it look worse.

Keeper should have been booked minimum was very dangerous.

The locked leg is like following through on someone rather than colliding but pulling your leg back so it's not as bad. As I said before, we'd want it if it was the other way round. I also think the yellow was right as no malice.

The only thing that really didn't help his case was he locked his leg out once he had made contact. If he catches him but doesn't do that then absolutely no way a pen.

Thought this was by far his worst decision of the match. If Thomas was reckless this has to be. Completely out of control and would have seriously injured Godden if he makes contact.

Walking in a Robins wonderland!
