And right on cue, Baz does that. Think that's a penalty personally.

It didn't impact the ball, which was already gone. Which is why it wasn't given 🤷‍♀️

What was a clear pen was the foul on smallbone at 0-0

Why are we chanting sacked in the morning at Rooney, given our record for fucking it up!!

We must secretly want him as Martin's repalcement. 🙂

Possession game - tick
Managerial Failure? - If punted by Birningham
And has played at the highest level, while still willing to work on a project in the Championship. We'll have to punt our Man CIty-lite ideals, and go for being Man Utd-lite. 🙂

it wasn't given as the ref made a bad call...it was a penalty every day of the week really

Not really. It looked clumsy, granted, but the attacker had already won the header and fluffed it, so the collision didn't prevent a goal scoring opportunity.

Preventing a goal scoring opportunity is a red card offence. You can still commit a foul without committing that specific offence.

Good points, but the bar for what constitutes a foul in the box is always higher. I'm just pointing out why it's not a 'clear' penalty. Giving them a free shot from 12 yards would have been too great a reward when you consider the attacker had already messed up his chance to score.
