Penalty

[prestonnefc]

I know it seems a pretty pointless thread this but I'm just making a point..

It IS a penalty but it was just so soft.. If he gives this one, there will be 5/6 pens a game...
Giving pens like this seems the only way to stop all this tugging and pulling back which needs to be stopped!
Why they don't just concentrate on just clearing the ball i don't know!

I agree, I think due to the ref having a word with Cunningham their player has thought he was going to go down before the ball was played in as the ref may give it.

The refs are hot on these issues very early in the season.

Had this happened in Jan/Feb time it may not have been given.

Really poor by us. I love hunts but how silly was he

Hopefully this means that all this arms round a player dragging him down will be cut out añd not before time.

Annoying thing with this is if it was at Deepdale and the other way round, we wouldn't have got the penalty.

Ref was awful last night

Penalty all day long, ridiculous foul to concede Hunts.

Geoff Eltringham is a shite referee. As soon as I heard them announce his name on Radio East Lancs before the game started I thought 'uh oh'.

Was a penalty, but there is no consistency and a lot of these 'penalties' are never given by other referees.
