You're better than that
Champo?
Just seen the replays and can't believe that's not been given. Shouldn't make a difference where the contact is made, but he gets his standing leg dragged away so has no chance of getting to the ball. Goes down like a sack of shit and he gets it (not blaming O'Hare).
The old "contact with consequence" for me. Don't think there's a lot of contact, hence why O'Hare tried to stay on his feet, he doesn't usually need much encouragement to hit the deck. Could easily go either way. As always with subjective decisions, some you'll get, some you won't.What’s make you say that?
The moment's goneIf you say that, then what is the point of discussing anything on a forum.
And for that you’d not be marked down on the assessor report for your reasoningThe old "contact with consequence" for me.

I’ve heard it flattened his nose…Good player that Smallbone. Rumour has it that the Milan free kick hit him so hard in the face that he grew eyebrows.
Even the Southampton fans said it should’ve been a penalty. One they got away with.That’s a penalty. Trailing leg just drags O’Hare’s foot with it.
For me the only people appealing for a pen were the fans….even around me.
I don’t even think O’hare is asking for one, it’s frustration. Not one player appealed for it from what I remember - which probably tells its own story.
Haven’t watched it other than live and the original replay but I think Bidwell got away with oneNear the end of the half around 40 minutes in.
I’ve looked again and changed my view it was a foul, a penalty and consequently a sending off.
The Armstrong one was a fantastic tackle from Bidwell two or three seconds later would have been a pen and sending off.
He sort of put his hands out but I think more out of frustration that it didn’t come to anything. That’s what I thought at the time. He’s not screaming for it, more half-hearted I felt.O’Hare appealed to the ref
Actually it looks like the defender does get the ball from one angle.
Or they could declare Godden’s suspension null & voidClear penalty for me, I look forward to another apology letter from the league
They appealed but then played to the (non) whistle, which is a good job as Armstrong S was steaming up their left wing.He sort of put his hands out but I think more out of frustration that it didn’t come to anything.

everyone just carried on - Sakamoto puts his arm up but then just cracked on with it.
edit: just watched it back and actually a few players put their arms out to ask but then just carry on - even Clive Eakin didn’t think it was.
Don’t get me wrong I think there wouldn’t have been any complaints had it been given but it was a speculative appeal I reckon.
I think O Hare had cut the ball back before impactI think the first replay shows the defender wins the ball first (just), hence why it flicks backwards thru his legs, and then O’hare’s leg is caught on his as he slides and he goes down after. Not a foul for me. Certainly not a ‘stonewall’ penalty.
we’ve had clearer pens not given than that one this season.
Game of opinions isn’t it?
I couldn't believe O'Hare made so little of it at the time. But there was very little contact in reality, evidenced by O’Hare easily staying on his feet.
VAR would ruin our league.....could you imagine the shit it'd cause on forums!!!Yeah that's a pen. When we getting VAR in the Champo?
I think you have to go down late after being fouled by your own teammates.Do you need to be wearing rainbow laces to get a Stonewall penalty?
(I’ll see myself out)
