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.
Any tackle where the player catches the other player on the thigh yes probably will be given.he's allowed to play the ball and doesn't have to move once done
by your logic any tackle where there is contact after is a foul
Yet Thomas went for the ball and actually kicked it before their player actually got there.
What do you expect their player to do when he has been lunged towards and has to react in less than a second?Yes, he kicks the ball and their player runs into him.
No idea what you expect Thomas to do. He wins the ball and their player goes into him.
no, no it wont if the other player is the one that creates the contactAny tackle where the player catches the other player on the thigh yes probably will be given.
no one said he could do anything else, just that it is not a penWhat do you expect their player to do when he has been lunged towards and has to react in less than a second?

If anything is a foul on youExactly. If I jump to head it away, do, and then someone steams into me that’s not a foul surely?
He didn't create the contact!!!!! I'm going to give up responding soon but their player was going forward Thomas goes from right to left. He doesn't have much time to run forward before Thomas makes contact with his leg in fact he actually stutters his run aiming to avoid contact in the split second he has. I'm right on this one, Robins says it, the ref says it and the majority of pundits. Just cause you don't like it doesn't make your opinion true. We don't live in the old world of any tackle being ok as long as you get the ball first.no, no it wont if the other player is the one that creates the contact
Ok yeah Thomas didn't lunge in to get the ball at allNo, he wasn't lunged towards. Thomas kicked the ball.
Wasn't he expecting the cheek of the defender to kick the ball?
Agreed, I said during the game I thought it was a terrible decision. The more I saw of it and the angles the players were running at the more I realised I was wrong. I also think the fact Thomas doesn't go nuts at the ref or the other players tells you what you need to know.The amount of different opinions on here all after watching the incident from every angle a dozen or so times shows what a tough decision it was in a couple of seconds.
I'd agree with this. As I said above wondering if the ref played on to see if we could take advantage but then he gave a foul for the 2nd offense so you'd assume not!The clear thing is their keeper challenge was far more dangerous reckless and likely to cause serious injury than the penalty
You are making out he lunges in on the player.Ok yeah Thomas didn't lunge in to get the ball at allgood one.
Well he does as he makes contact with the player after the ball it's the definition of a lunge!You are making out he lunges in on the player.
Me either, it was unbelievably reckless and the ref was about 5 yards away looking right at it, no real contact & there for no injury (probably swayed his decision) but the intent was obvious and could easily have resulted in a serious injury.I saw the pic of that challenge but none of the highlights I saw, showed that particular challenge .
The player makes contact with him.Well he does as he makes contact with the player after the ball it's the definition of a lunge!
lunge
noun
noun: lunge; plural noun: lunges
a sudden forward thrust of the body, typically with an arm outstretched to attack someone or seize something.
OK, so flip it round. The logic of what you are saying is that you can do anything in the tackle as long as you’ve touched the ball first. You can’t. 20 years ago - yes. Now - no. The players know that.So what stops any player deliberately running into a defender forcefully clearing the ball and claiming a penalty then?
If D-H gets there first, pings it into the top corner and catches Thomas on his shot follow through, there is absolutely no way the goal gets overturned and D-H booked. It's a defender who just wasn't close enough to his man to stop the shot.
For me Dewsbury-Hall causes that whole situation himself by (late) challenging for a ball that has already gone.
he did, he went into thomasHe didn't create the contact!!!!! I'm going to give up responding soon but their player was going forward Thomas goes from right to left.

That is absolute rubbish Thomas isn't occupying a space he is moving towards his leg and continues after he strikes the ball. You are wrong and frankly clueless. Also how can you speak for Robins he said straight away it was no ummm or ahhh or I haven't seen it back.He specifically said yes it's a penalty. Don't make stuff up just to try and bolster your daft argument.he did, he went into thomas
Thomas is allowed to occupy space and doesn't have to move
Robins, doesn't think it. i can tell you that for a fact and the pundits in the papers say it was not a pen
just because you are too proud to admit youare wrong doesn't make it true
he's occupying the space were the ball was, ffs mate stop windmilling and posting poo likes as that's teh sure fire sign of a winner argumentThat is absolute rubbish Thomas isn't occupying a space he is moving towards his leg and continues after he strikes the ball.

here's the man who has never seen a ref decision he couldn't defendWell we know the standard of Refereeing has been a concern especially in the Uk for a few years. But the good news is is that is no longer the case-we have a long list of FIFA officials ready to go on this thread who all know the Laws of the Game (but struggle to understand what is a careless/reckless/excessive challenge and what sanctions to award on each of them occasions).
Robins, doesn't think it's pen
I can tell you that for a fact, it's just he decided he didn't want to risk it and slag off a ref after winning a game
Oh, sky sports pundits! wow all the reports seem to say it was at best very soft
Yeah their goalie was reckless and it wasn't even a foul.Well we know the standard of Refereeing has been a concern especially in the Uk for a few years.

And the man who never takes his Sky Blue glasses off and the worst of them all is……….here's the man who has never seen a ref decision he couldn't defend
good level
Windmillinghe's occupying the space were the ball was, ffs mate stop windmilling and posting poo likes as that's teh sure fire sign of a winner argument

keep windmilling mate
The guy is a fucking moron, no idea why I have bothered. I need to draw him a picture with some crayons to explain the direction of travel and the fact Thomas isn't staticAnd the man who never takes his Sky Blue glasses off and the worst of them all is……….
You are really an awful person and you wonder why people have a pop at youAnd the man who never takes his Sky Blue glasses off and the worst of them all is……….
Getting personal because you are wrong?The guy is a fucking moron, no idea why I have bothered. I need to draw him a picture with some crayons to explain the direction of travel and the fact Thomas isn't static
