Interesting penalty It sounds to me like the Coventry defender used his experience to block O'Brien off, knowing that referees don't give those fouls. He even threw in a fall to the ground himself. He was right too, the ref didn't give the penalty... but the lino did. Oh, hang on... the official site says it was given for handball.
Re: Interesting penalty Yes it was given for handball budmustang. Hussey's arm brushed the ball while he was on the floor, the assistant didn't put the flag across his chest as far as I'm aware....so it was difficult to see that from our commentary position.
Re: Interesting penalty The lino did put the flag across his chest, because I thougt the ref had blown for a foul by O'Brien, but then I saw the lino.
