    If that was a pen

    Then stones should have conceded one and been sent off against Bristol city.
    It was very harsh.

    Re: If that was a pen

    The shot may well have been goal bound and would the keeper have even saved it ?

    So for that reason, was the handball a professional foul and should the defender have been sent off ?

    Yes this is a ridiculous suggestion I know, but it all comes down to whether a handball is deliberate or not. England went on the attack right from the start and I dont think the pen changed the game at all, they would still have won by about 5 had it not been given.

    England deservedly walked it, just don't think that was a pen.

    Re: If that was a pen

    If a shot is within a short distance of the supposed infringer, I cannot see how he can remove his hand/arm in a fraction of a second. Common sense should reign.

    Looked harsh to me. Their lad was trying to tuck his arms in, nowt he could do about it, not deliberate.
