the penalty appeals

[CGP1]

I haven't seen any TV coverage qt all, no highlights nothing yet. So all I have to go off is they looked two decent shouts from the West.

What's the view of anyone who's seen closeups / analysis?

Or was the ref just invoking EPL Emergency Rule No1 - to give a penalty, the Premiership team must have been seen to clearly foul the player three times inside 5 seconds.

The tackle on Gabriel wasn't a pen the forest player got the ball

I wish Critchley would make his mind up.
Before the game at the City ground he was moaning that VAR was going to be used.
Last night he was moaning that if we'd have had VAR then we had a good shout for a pen and to check their winning goal.


The challenge on Gabriel was excellent, never a penalty.
Honestly can't remember another shout for us!!

None were pens. If Gabriel didn’t trip over a frozen sod, he should have been carded for simulation.

I think there were 2 shouts in the same incident. I also thought the tackle on Gabriel was a good one, and the 2nd shout came in the immediate aftermath of that. I was looking at the ref at that time to see (and hope!!) if he was going to point to the spot.

Gabriel's foot caught the ball and he went down. Not a pen.

He certainly didn’t trip over me , and I was a frozen sod .

He got the ball 100% but he also put his elbow into the back of his head forcing him down, glad it wasn't my decision to make

You may be right on this occasion. However, 'getting the ball' never excuses a rash challenge. If a referee judges a challenge to be dangerous play then getting the ball is of no consequence.

The blatant hand ball at Forest late on?
Presumably car missed it too.
Most of us all saw it above his head, a clear fist away!
