I was at the game on Saturday and I think everyone has overlooked one of the key reasons our first goal happened. I was on the side close to the dugout and just before Clarke went to take the free kick, Slade shouted 'let keeper have it!'
If Slade hadn't of said anything, Clarke would have taken it and we wouldn't of scored! Useless as per Russel
What really seals it for me (and you only see it on the extended highlights) is that Clarke clearly goes to kick the ball and steps over the ball, faking the kick.
It clearly looks like Clarke is the free kick taker and so when he kicks it back to the keeper that's the kick taken.
What Clarke should have done is left it for the keeper to take.
That clears it up then.

To be honest, even if the ref fucked up he denied us one of the clearest penaltys your ever likely to see just prior to that so it all worked itself out in the end.
Agreed. I was told at the time that the Grimsby player had won the ball but it was the opposite end of the pitch to us and the low overhanging roof made it difficult to see everything going on.
So f you were pissed it wouldn't of Been a penalty then?i had a perfect view of it and was sober, it was 100%, stonewall penalty.

I wouldn't have had such a strong conviction in how I saw the incident.
If intention was a factor no-one would ever be sent off.
