Neither were penalties

[Shepherds Mush]

First one - felt their player fell over as he got a slight touch off Traore. Should've been booked for diving.

Second one - couldve gone either way but the way the bloke dived deserved a card.

Nice to see something going our way for a change !!

They showed the replay just now on Goals on Sunday. Definite contact. The theatrical fall worked in our favour.

if you call that contact ,you wouldn't have liked to play football 30 year ago

How would you describe contact?

If that was the other way round, this board would have been going mental. It should have been a penalty. Maghoma dived his way out of a penalty, but the ref got it wrong.

1st pen - not a pen. good decision.
2nd pen - would have been given if not for the ridiculous extra acrobatics. looked so stupid & lost a clear pen & a deserved card to boot!

[Rangers77]

Seen those given. Both of them. Might our luck have changed???

2nd was a disgusting dive, 1st one I didn't really see

If he had time to think about a dive then it wasn't a proper foul, went looking for it

That should probably be the benchmark for making the decision actually.

Two ridiculous dives, aimed at winning a penalty more than winning the ball.

Sheff Weds fans were debating the Barton one and someone put a photo up and its funny because most are moaning it was then a weds fan who obviously gives honest opinion states how their players feet are both off the floor BEFORE he gets to Barton...................

The deciding thing for me is how I'd have reacted from the other side.

The bloke absolutely did Barton with his first touch and Barton's leg caught him. He may have been looking for it, that doesn't stop it being a penalty sadly.

The bloke dived for the first one. Ref got that one right, because it wasn't a foul.

End of the day we got a bit of luck. It happens occasionally.

Agree. I've watched the hi-lights a dozen times now and the ref definitely does not give the penalties. Good spot!

Glad you spotted that or he might have changed his mind
