I think It was a clearance rather than a challenge/tackle. If the keeper came out and did that there’s no way they’d give a pen.

If the keeper came out and did that there’s no way they’d give a pen.I think it was a pen personally and I think English football as a whole needs to get away from the idea that a challenge can't possibly be a foul if the defender wins the ball. There is nothing at all about winning the ball in the laws of the game. It was reckless from Thomas and he could have done Dewsbury-Hall some fairly serious damage. That being said, the referee still had an appallig game. His defintion of a yellow card varied massively throughout and, first half especially, he seemed to want to give every decision he could to Leicester. Red card was a correct decision, poor challenge.
WinksThe amount of times the ref should have booked Leicester player for cynical fouls or totting up was ridiculous.
The amount of fouls Winks made for example

Disagree. That kind of challenge for the pen is absolutely not what I want to see punished. Winning the ball and colliding is fundamentally different from not touching the ball IMO.
It wasn't reckless because their player actually went into Thomas.I think it was a pen personally and I think English football as a whole needs to get away from the idea that a challenge can't possibly be a foul if the defender wins the ball.

When you see the replay you do see the challenge is a bit too high. In real time I didn't think it was but having seen the replay back, it's how high Thomas' foot is that has gone against him.
You've got to be a special kind of idiot to pay a fortune for a box, giving the club all your details in the process and then kick off and get yourself thrown outEnjoyed the Leicester fan getting kicked out of his box when they scored as well. Muppet.
Which then raises the question in that position how is he supposed to clear the ball, or are the rules now that defenders are supposed to let players past them unchallenged?With laws as they are currently, it’s a pen. He gets the ball but his follow through would be deemed as reckless, gets him on the knee with his studs.
Again I'm with you.Don’t get me started on the high feet rule. Game is football. Any rule that technically makes bicycle kicks illegal is a stupid rule.
OKWhich then raises the question in that position how is he supposed to clear the ball, or are the rules now that defenders are supposed to let players past them unchallenged?
I don't see a way he plays that ball with zero follow through.
Both just about right for me. Thomas yellow only as he did get the ball but the follow through wasn’t needed. Red , just about and that was for them so who cares. Palmer should have been hooked off earlier as he was a red waiting to happen.
Especially when he bottled it from the 2 Cov fans after giving it large from behind the fence. What goes around comes around!Enjoyed the Leicester fan getting kicked out of his box when they scored as well. Muppet.

Where was he meant to put his leg after he kicked it?

What’s getting the ball got to do with the pen?Never a pen, he’s clearly won the ball from DHall who isn’t in control at all. It’s a goal kick . The sending off was valid, he dived in and could have broke his leg the dirty bastard.
You can usually spot 'em from 200 yards away as I recallFair enough didn’t know that ha ha
You could easily see a very nasty injury - I think it’s a clear pen and yellow based on the lotg rather than the laws that lads who play a bit thinkExactly this. Wanting players to what exactly? Snap their leg back in the moment? Ridiculous expectations.

Course it can be Greggs just cause you win the ball doesn’t mean it can’t be a free kickHow can it be a pen if he got the ball first?

He must have been bleeding like a stuck pig after that.With laws as they are currently, it’s a pen. He gets the ball but his follow through would be deemed as reckless, gets him on the knee with his studs.
Is one way of seeing it yesHe kicked the ball, their player ran into him.
