That’s a fucking penalty

[sw88]

Surely he wouldn’t be diving there? Anyone watching to see if there was contact?

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Why is Bassette coming off? Stupid move

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Strange change but probably sensible to

He’s taken off Bassette. What the fuck?

Our best player by far

nah torp

 

[Grendel]

Was that a penalty? I was near it and looked some contact

 

[mark82]

Embarrassing from BTA

He was caught.

 

[Nick]

Was it a pen on replay?

Ref has lost it

 

[mark82]

Was that a penalty? I was near it and looked some contact

Yeah, definitely some contact.

 

[Hobo]

Souttar is a good solid centre back, reads game well and clever in the challenge. The sort of player we are lacking.

 

[jordan210]

Not a pen but not a dive

No

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Thomas Asante not convinced of his ability

 

[covcity4life]

That was a pen

Not sure about taking norman off either

 

[glasgowfan]

Absolutely there was contact

 

[fernandopartridge]

He was caught.

He was going down before he got a meaningful touch

 

[jordan210]

took norm off as on a booking BTA gets one within a minute haha

 

[gspotgaz]

That was a pen

Not sure about taking norman off either

It wasn’t

 

[tisza]

he's clipped BTA there.Never a yellow

 

[Skybluecol]

Just seen the slow mo for it....he won the ball....contact....should've been a pen

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Stupid ref. He needs to be substituted

 

[pusbccfc]

Ref is atrocious

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Half the SU team are ex Cov - at least 4 in this game

 

[skybluegod]

There was contact but never a penalty. He was looking for it.

 

[gspotgaz]

Imagine that being given as a pen against us

 

[Nick]

Officials clearly trying to even things up

 

[Hobo]

Didn’t look a dive tbh

It wasn't a penalty either.

 

[Nick]

There was contact but never a penalty. He was looking for it.

If there's contact isn't it a pen?

 

[Briles]

Defo another red in this game

 

[Ccfcisparks]

It was a blatant and poor dive

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Loving this game

 

[Liquid Gold]

Watching online. Was a penalty.

Defender got none of the ball and his stud went into BTA’s boot

 

[Paul Anthony]

It's just not a dive. Whether it's enough contact for a pen is debatable, but it's absolutely not a dive.

 

[robbiekeane]

Da Silva is shocking defensively and shocking going forward too. Never puts a decent cross in never beats his man

what does he offer genuinely

 

[mark82]

Imagine that being given as a pen against us

I've seen it happen. Equally, it's never a yellow card.

I’m obviously biased, but slow motion replay looks like a soft penalty to me.
BTA could see the contact coming (studs to right ankle) so lifted his his left leg off the ground so his standing ankle wouldn’t be badly hurt.
There was only slight contact to his ankle in the end.
Probably a penalty for me.
