Not much mention of our pen on the ref thread. I’ve watched replays and contact (if any) on Bassette seems minimal. I’m ready to be corrected. Was anyone in a good position to tell for sure?
Definitely a pen, even though Bassette was commited to the dive before the contact was made. (Look at him throwing his arms up before the challenge went in)

On the Hull fans forum they admitted it was a pen, and they thought the defender was lucky to stay on the pitch as he was already on a yellow card.

Fwiw, I thought the ref had a decent game today, refs always get stick, but I hardly noticed him, which must be a good sign.

Was right in front of me maybe ten yards away. Didn’t look like a pen at all live. Not watched it back yet.

One for you @Adge in the first half Bassette was standing over a Hull free kick, their player tried to kick it against him and missed and it fell to one of our players in the final third. I’m right in saying no infringement and play on, yes?
By the book-yes. The thing is that we don’t know if the referee had blown the whistle for the restart of play or if he was ready or watching when the ball was played. It is “safe” officiating which the general football fan who hasn’t Refereed a match will not be able to grasp (not aimed at anyone by the way 😀), as if play continues and a goal is scored etc then the Referee opens up a can of worms for himself.
99% of Referees would have again stopped the game for the free kick to be retaken as was demonstrated yesterday. Annoying for the crowd though it is.

Although Madeley is getting pelters from some, overall I thought he was ok. Was a bit fussy first half and gave a few soft fouls but 2nd half had a better half in all fairness.
Apart from no second booking for the pen.

Oh and not booking Torp for wrestling their guy down on a breakaway.

And not booking their guy for dissent for slamming the ball down in injury time...

It was an excellent call for the pen to be fair. Seen them being waved off before as you can't always tell in real time whether there's any contact with the ball.

I actually think he should’ve booked the right back, as he wasted most of the time
Coyle, big player for them last season, proper wind up merchant and buyer of FK 's, didn't have his best day though did he? 😂

He should’ve had at least two yellows, but it’s a good job he stayed on otherwise EMC wouldn’t have been able to turn him inside out so many times.

Haven’t seen it back but I didn’t think it was a foul. Seemed like Lati was looking for it…

yeah and the striker obliged and fouled him
I dont think it's a foul, and I think it gets given as a foul far too often. Football is a contact sport. What's about his dive minutes earlier in the box when the striker is just stronger than him? Just deal with the ball. Again can you imagine Fadz letting that happen without taking the ball with him.

It was a blatant foul. People’s dislike of Latibeaudiere is clouding their judgement. He’d given Norwich far, far softer fouls throughout the game.

I agree but he had given us fuck all all game.

Lati gambled on being given a free kick rather than just clearing it.

Yeah ref was shit so don't risk it.

I'd have preferred Lati to just deal with it and smack it into row z, but the push in the back, even if he slowed down, is still a foul and should have been given.
