Not much mention of our pen on the ref thread. I’ve watched replays and contact (if any) on Bassette seems minimal. I’m ready to be corrected. Was anyone in a good position to tell for sure?

Definitely a pen, even though Bassette was commited to the dive before the contact was made. (Look at him throwing his arms up before the challenge went in)

On the Hull fans forum they admitted it was a pen, and they thought the defender was lucky to stay on the pitch as he was already on a yellow card.

Fwiw, I thought the ref had a decent game today, refs always get stick, but I hardly noticed him, which must be a good sign.

Was right in front of me maybe ten yards away. Didn’t look like a pen at all live. Not watched it back yet.

One for you @Adge in the first half Bassette was standing over a Hull free kick, their player tried to kick it against him and missed and it fell to one of our players in the final third. I’m right in saying no infringement and play on, yes?

By the book-yes. The thing is that we don’t know if the referee had blown the whistle for the restart of play or if he was ready or watching when the ball was played. It is “safe” officiating which the general football fan who hasn’t Refereed a match will not be able to grasp (not aimed at anyone by the way ), as if play continues and a goal is scored etc then the Referee opens up a can of worms for himself.
99% of Referees would have again stopped the game for the free kick to be retaken as was demonstrated yesterday. Annoying for the crowd though it is.

Although Madeley is getting pelters from some, overall I thought he was ok. Was a bit fussy first half and gave a few soft fouls but 2nd half had a better half in all fairness.

Apart from no second booking for the pen.

Oh and not booking Torp for wrestling their guy down on a breakaway.

And not booking their guy for dissent for slamming the ball down in injury time...

It was an excellent call for the pen to be fair. Seen them being waved off before as you can't always tell in real time whether there's any contact with the ball.

Worst yet. It was pathetic.

When he started moaning at Collins for time wasting after Hull spent 70 minutes doing it

He booked their goalkeeper fairly early for timewasting.

Easy one as won’t have to caution again whilst looking tough

So if the goalkeeper then comes like say Wilson has and takes a player out that wouldn't be an offence?

 

[wingy]

I listened to the the of the ref show on sky,the justification for bizzare take's just seems absolutely ludicrous to me,definate growth industry at it's worst!

Less likely than an outfield player

I actually think he should’ve booked the right back, as he wasted most of the time

Coyle, big player for them last season, proper wind up merchant and buyer of FK 's, didn't have his best day though did he?

Exactly what I was thinking and why he booked the gk

 

[SBAndy]

Think he’d already warned the keeper about timewasting so when the opportunity came it was an easier ‘win’.

Yep me too

He should’ve had at least two yellows, but it’s a good job he stayed on otherwise EMC wouldn’t have been able to turn him inside out so many times.
