Saint_Randell Posted 1 February, 2012 Share Posted 1 February, 2012 Anyone else think the chapel helped a bit in getting the penalty last night?!!! I know their not normally the noisiest bunch but they gave him plenty of stick (well for them anyway) for not giving that penalty, and the ref did look pretty anxious when what looked like the whole stand were shouting CHEAT CHAET CHEAT at him just before the handball. May just be me but little things play on the ref's mind and after that he must of known he made the wrong decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_lambden Posted 1 February, 2012 Share Posted 1 February, 2012 Why thank you! Being 4 rows from the front, the ref certainly was told by many around me how bad some of his decision were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan The Flames Posted 1 February, 2012 Share Posted 1 February, 2012 I agree it was a penalty by attrition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Reigned Posted 1 February, 2012 Share Posted 1 February, 2012 I was in the Chapel last night; after the Lallana appeal was turned down and the vitriol towards the ref I turned to my mate and said we'd get a dodgy pen at some point, and we duly did.

kelkel31 Posted 1 February, 2012 Share Posted 1 February, 2012 why do most seem to think it was at best a soft penalty, the player had his arms away from his body and infront, yes ball to hand but they were put in a position where they could block the cross and would be considered not the natual position of the arms so 100% pen.

Hatch Posted 1 February, 2012 Share Posted 1 February, 2012 I expect a penalty down that end every week from now on, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StDunko Posted 1 February, 2012 Share Posted 1 February, 2012 After a few games with flat atmospheres, the ref did at least manage to wake St Mary's up, particularly the Chapel end. I've not seen the "family enclosure" that animated for a while, and it certainly helped us get the pen at the 3rd appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70's Mike Posted 1 February, 2012 Share Posted 1 February, 2012 us old boys in the Chapel do the business when required, we hold our nerve unlike other parts of the ground who appear to have started to panic at recent home games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niemi14 Posted 1 February, 2012 Share Posted 1 February, 2012 I shouted the Liam Neeson speech from 'Taken' at him. I am claiming the assist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huffton Posted 1 February, 2012 Share Posted 1 February, 2012 What 70sMike said! I said to my nipper the ref looked visibly affected when we all laid into him. Iwas hping he might send himself off, but no such luck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't have to be deliberate handball for it to be s foul, that's where the point of debate is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
