Penalty appeal

Even derby fans on their match day thread saying it was a stonewaller went styles went down…seen softer given

 

I thought it was a clear penalty.

 

If he'd tried to stay on his feet and had a crack at goal, chances are he'd have been chopped down anyway, but in a much more convincing fashion. Went down far too easily for my liking. That said, I've only seen it once, and in real time, so I could be completely wrong.

Unless it's Derby fans who watched it on telly, they've no idea what happened. They were several light years away.

 

Thought Styles was offside missen, must have another look but if not it should have been a pen IMO

 

Looked quite soft from east stand lower. Although I am still getting used to this view!

 

Exactly as I saw it. I think he was looking for it which is what made the ref not give it. If he'd have tried to shoot, he'd have been taken down hard.

 

It was a penalty or a yellow for diving.
Why would he dive when he was thru on goal.
Replays show he was pushed.

 

Stone waller from the Ponty

 

Right in front of me, looked stone wall tbh....I'll give my Var final decision after I've seen it again.

 

Have you not watched much professional football this century?

 

I thought he was pushed but the Tom Daly impression didn’t help his cause.

 

But if ref thought styles dived he should have booked him. He didn't therefore it's a pen. Simples

 

Thought it was a penalty but did throw hi self down a bit too theatrically.

 

I agree with @Old Goat. Although I thought it was Benson at the time. You've nowt to lose going about your business there. Whether that's a lay off or a shot. You're in the box onus is all on the defender and more importantly the referee. By diving or going down easily you're removing the only variable in your favour and putting it to chance.

Chance won out tonight.

 

**** ref. Simples.

 

Just watched it again, looks like a dive to me to be honest.

 

Thought Friend got most things right tbf
