Crazy. He seemed to have a perfect view of it too! My only thought was that the ref thought Eccles didn’t have control of the ball…but that doesn’t really make much sense!Seeing that back, how the fuck didn't he give a pen?
That ref had some strange stat after being recently promoted I think, thought he was generally very good though.Seeing that back, how the fuck didn't he give a pen?
At least it didn’t impact the result. Would have been pretty pissed off if we had lost that by a single goal. Or even drawn tbh.Looked a pen to me as well.
A general point though that by and large the referees have been pretty good this year, and noticably keen to keep play moving. I am sure some of you will think of exceptions but I can't remember coming away thinking that the ref had a shocker
Josh said as much in his post match interview, for me he gets top marks for not reacting to the ref's failure to give the penalty and possibly getting a yellow.Seeing that back, how the fuck didn't he give a pen?
Ref couldn’t have had a clearer view. No excuse for a mistake, can only assume it was a conscious decision given something none of us have spotted.It was unbelievable. Especially as the ref has such a great view of the incident.
Very lucky escape for Plymouth there for sure

Can I add, Dovin's first clean sheet is a nice bonus.
Wright looked like a devious dirty bastard the moment he came on, a face that really deserves a slap.The ref tried to keep the game flowing, which was to his credit. It was a mistake on his part not to award a penalty, which seemed pretty nailed on.
He should have booked Wright soon after he came on and I couldn't understand why he didn't.
Having said that I thought the ref had a decent game and was much better than most we've seen this season
Lati was doing it when he was right back too. Up front sometimes.Bidwell took up some new/interesting positions during our attacks.
I wonder if an early yellow would have stopped him from the foul. He had plenty of time to think about it so it was quite calculated, worth a double red if such a thing existed. Premeditated extreme foul play / assault.The ref tried to keep the game flowing, which was to his credit. It was a mistake on his part not to award a penalty, which seemed pretty nailed on.

Agreed - Bidwell had a great game and the header to Mason Clark on the build up to Eccles first goal was something JDS could never have managed.Bidwell took up some new/interesting positions during our attacks.
Bidwell is clearly the better player.Agreed - Bidwell had a great game and the header to Mason Clark on the build up to Eccles first goal was something JDS could never have managed.
