I've just seen the Sky highlights, and I'm at the end of a bottle of red. I'll put my tin hat on, my comments are genuine.
Going on my views of penalties (perhaps not the law) I don't think ours was a penalty. Whether VAR should review as a "clear and obvious error" is a different question.
Their penalty - was it a penalty? I think so. Should play have been bought back for a foul on Gallagher? Yes. Was the re-take correct? Yes. Keeper movement will be spotted by VAR, and something our coaches need to work on. I think SJ saves this even if he is on the line. He had no chance with the retake. I don't know how Paul Cooper would have coped with these rules.
Have we been mis-treated? Probably. Did we expect it? Yes.

Strangely I enjoyed the game last night, normally I would have turned off after the penalty shenanigans but I stuck with it and watched till the end.
I think when you can see a plan and players giving their all that makes a massive difference whatever the result in the end.
Having said that why can’t we keep the ball for a bit when we win it back, surely that can be done even 50% of the time?
Anyway well done to the players for running the multi millions worth of players very close, special mention to Gallagher.
