Did we ascertain why the penalty was given? Nothing on the ball so I can only assume Barrett was judged to have impeded their player, though the camera doesn't really show it. Didn't look like there was anything wrong from what you can see, but far from conclusive video evidence here.

Can't get virginmedia over here but did see extended highlights on BW this morning. This shows a slowed down film of the free kick, leading to the penalty and there was clearly something going on with Barrett and the Scunny player. Have been discussing the merits or otherwise of the lino's
decision on 'THE PENALTY' thread. Interesting to see Barrett's goal as well
.......sure that there are some refs that wouldn't have given it!

The Scunny didn't make any attempt to jump so I don't think Barrett did anything wrong.

As for the pen I couldn't tell what was going on!

what the hell was it for?? there wasnt even any contact from what i can see in that clip! Are you Kettle in disguise??:whistling:

Agree with that.

It was a ridiculously soft penalty to award. It looked as much 6 of one half a dozen of the other, as their player was backing into Barrett and trying to wrap him up, and it was off the ball.

Having said that, isn't it about time our central defenders learnt not to try and molest players at set pieces? This is now the second time this season away from home we've conceded a spot kick in this fashion and have dropped points as a result.

How can you say that? this was hardly molestation, in fact it was hardly, if any contact. Carlisle away i agree with your point, but Scunthorpe was a disgraceful decision.

I was speaking in general rather than that particular incident, which I described as "ridiculously soft".

BTW have you seen it on Blues World?

It was certainly a very, very, very soft penalty. One of those which under the rules was probably JUST ABOUT a penalty, but if you're going to give it then there'll be a thousand every game.

Have been about 10 yards away from it at the time, there was a bit of impeding and a bit of shirtpulling, but nothing anywhere near major. Inconsistent lining to be honest, but as a Scunny fan I'll be forced to take it!

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

I just reiterate my view from what I saw on BW, they were both impeding each other.
Unfortunately, the lino didn't see it from the BW camera point of view. from his viewpoint he saw Adam's arm around the back of the Scunny player's neck.......he wouldn't have had a view of the Scunny player equally holding back Adam.....which from our point of view is unfortunate. I haven't noticed where the referee was in all this and it surprises me a bit that there was no communication between the ref and the lino to discuss the incident and to find out whether a yellow or red card should be given for the alleged offence.

 

[MK Shrimper]

From BW that is the softest, most ridiculous penalty I've ever seen.

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

weey i got on virgin media t.v woo!

Shocking decision great header by AB

 

[Sth_11]

They certainly discussed the incident, but that only appeared to as far as the ref asking the lino what he'd flagged for and him telling him. Surprised there was no card, but c'est la vie.

 

[bazzashrimper]

99 times out of 100 that would not be given as a penalty. But from radio commentary it sounds as if there were a few dubious calls for a pen in the second half, so the lino was probably getting a load of flak from the home fans. AB did have his arm around the player (clearly not a headlock) so he gave the lino the 'option' to award it.

In the same way as an appeal for a sending off, the lino has enough evidence to show why he gave it so could refute any claims. All in all, a decision you would only get at home, but a bit silly of AB to get caught up in it so far from goal.

 

[haveaguiness]

Not the greatest of views on Virgin media, but if you watch as the player is running after the ball, he puts his arms up and his face looks asthough he is annoyed because he thinks he has given the free kick away. Awful decision
