Certainly looked like a penalty to me. If a similar challenge had been made against one of our forwards in their box we'd have been livid were it not given.
Said in the match thread at the time,where i sit in the nwq,looked soft and would like to see it again
You read the match thread when you're at the game? Show's how exciting it was if you thought it would be more interesting to read an online forum conversation about it than actually look up and watch it happening in front of you!

Contact yes but think it was outside the box.Beggining to think football is not a contact sport anymore and the players no this as well. Yesterdays one was one we would all take but i am getting sick of seeing players flying through the air like they have been hit with a rocket.Think its killing the game , and as for the penalty given against West Brom yesterday the ref should be well embarrssed.
Another dodgy penalty and deflected goal against. Must be setting a record this season for deflected goals. By the law of averages we must surely be due a bit of luck ourselves soon.
Not seen any footage of the incident yet but I believe that referees have the option to give a penalty if the tackle starts just outside the area and finishes inside as was the case when Demichelis fouled Messi in the champs league game.

How can that be? If it was hand ball on the edge of the box, he would have to give a free kick.
At the time I thought it was a dive and outside the area. Having seen it on Sky this morning it's a foul and inside. The referee, who had a good game yesterday, got it spot on.

1StevieG is right. But only if the tackle continues into the box. Not if the tackle occurs outside, as I believe this one did, but the player being fouled falls/dives into the box.
Regardless of a foul or not one of our players dived in to a challenge on a player who was going nowhere. Complete heads gone moment and gave the ref a chance to give a penalty.
Given that on-the-line counts as in the area, I still think it's a stonebonker and can't believe the denial here. We'd be furious if we didn't get that in a reverse situation.

I've loled this post as I hope it was sarcastic?! One if the worst refereeing displays I have seen at the valley and that says a lot! Not biased either way just lacking any understanding of the game, throws given to us when clearly came off our men, corners given as GKs and pen was a joke. Reading comments from other fans on this site I do find myself wondering if we watched the same game?!

I honestly can't think of any good reason why he made he challenge that he did.

Think your right i thought he was fucking useless.there were loads of wrong decisions on both sides.
Presumably that screenshot was taken just after the tackle has been made. Their player is still not inside the area, therefore that tackle must have occurred outside the box. In any case there is no way that the ref could have been certain, therefore he should have given us the benefit of doubt.

Agree. Missed loads of handballs and yellow cards (for both sides). I think he was trying to 'anticipate' the game which is why he got so many line decisions wrong. Case in point the foul at our corner late in the game when the ball ended up in the net. Ref had a word (Morrison?) before the kick and then stood with whistle in his mouth staring at the keeper and blew for a foul the instant he heard the kick taken.
