To be honest, I’m in two minds about whether it should’ve been given. There are less ‘soft’ penalties being given this season than there was last season, and it would’ve been soft. The fact that the decision was made by the same person that couldn’t see a deflection on a shot that completely changed the direction of the ball, helps the case for a pen though!
Yeah, that deflection was a complete and utter failure on the refs part, it was embarrassingly bad and he should be up for review after that. It wasn't like it was a slight knick, it went almost 45° the other way.
After watching that you tube review it was a penalty if we had var it was a penalty we didn’t so it wasn’t. In real time Styles was running towards me in the ponte and there was no way I could have seen the push in the back, definitely a penalty, I defend my right to change my mind all refs are ………………………
