I've just had a quick glance through here and can't believe there doesn't seem to be much of a fuss about the penalty award. I've only seen the highlights on my phone but it seems a clear case of the Luton player having one aim which was not to play the ball but to make contact with Chester and then fall over. In my opinion in the last few minutes of a game a referee should be aware that teams that are losing will be looking for a penallty and should therefore be totally convinced that it is a clear penalty if he is going to award it. One big clue they can use is where is the ball and in which direction is the player running? To give a free shot on goal for a challenge like Chester's when the player came from behind him, perhaps touched the ball marginally before him but was not going anywhere but kicking the ball out of play is not what penalties should be given for. If Luton stay up with one more point than Stoke that referee basically will have decided who gets relegated. Yes I know over the season one decision shouldn't matter and even today we shot ourselves in the foot by missing chances and being ultra defensive in the last quarter of an hour but I get extremely frustrated that referees can decide the result of a match by giving a penalty for an incident in which the attacker had no chance of even getting a shot on goal.

Callum McManaman was heading away from goal in a crowded penalty area and he went flying like he'd hit by a bus.
I suspect it was never a penalty in a million years and he's done us up like a kipper but the video is too grainy to tell.
On an adjacent point I'm not sure how many penalties Jack has faced for us but it's a very large number, has he ever even once dived the right way?!
Either way it was a sickening blow, a real dagger to the heart right at the death.

I thought it looked a harsh penalty and that Chester got a nick on the ball(?), but it was difficult to be sure.

Ridiculous penalty decision by the referee, he’s absolutely shafted us there.
Also, Butlands penalty record is shameful. He may as well just stand by the post and let the opposition just tap the ball in next time. He’s the worst penalty saver I’ve ever seen in professional football. Even the second worst, Peter Fox, saved a couple.

Saw it live never a penalty. Watched it umpteen times never a penalty. Macmananmanamanamanamn was falling over before Chester got near him. Naive defending but never a penalty

Whether it was a penalty or not (I believe not, their player bought it big time) is besides the point. Our defender (Chester?) fucked up still. Their player was going away from goal and our player needed to be smart enough to allow them to go away from goal without giving the opportunity for them to go for gold at the diving event. It was naive and foolish by us still - and if it was Chester who gave it away it's even more annoying. I could forgive Collins for being naive there but not a 30 year old.

Bit soft but not a grave injustice. The players reactions are usually a good barometer and none of them really complained, including Chester.

It wasn't a penalty. If anything it was the award for best actor in a supporting role.

At the time I thought he got the ball, but I haven't seen a replay back.

For me , it’s a penalty. Chester doesn’t get anything on the ball, he then collided with a Luton player in their back. It’s a penalty and I think Chester should have been more aware that if he doesn’t get there first it’s going to be a penalty.

Was there any need to make the tackle and give the ref a decision to make?
Our defence is as experienced as they come in this league and really should know better.

Luton were looking for it but Chester made the refs decision for him, I could let Collins off with sticking a leg out but not an experienced player who should of known there was no real goal scoring threat and the ball would of ultimately at worst gone out for a corner. Stupid defending at the death of a very important game.

McManaman is a diving twat and has always been the same, but our team is totally and utterly brainless. The amount of fouls we give away in and around the box and out by the touch line when the player is going away from goal is frightening.
At home games the lads I sit with regularly comment on it, it’s infuriating......

What's worse than the ref giving it is Chester diving in. Daft.

The clue is the player running away from goal and two other teammates between the player and the goal.
The manager has admitted that Chester put in a blind toe towards the ball with a player running from behind him. I can understand if he took a clear swipe to clear the ball, but why blindly dab out a toe in the box? Schoolboy defending that created the situation and gave the referee a decision he didn't have to make.

90th minute, the player is going away from goal. So WHY give the referee a call to make? Penalty or not it’s a clumsy attempt of defending from a supposedly experienced player! If that was Sunday league football your mates would be ready twat you for being a stupid prick!

Absolutely no need to make the challenge and yet again we have been let down by one of the so called experienced players who, prior to that was largely untroubled and easily dealing with anything thrown at him.

Dont understand his approach. Keepers are better waiting until its hit so if not in corner, slightly mishit or just down the middle they have a good chance. Also My 15 yr old knows to take a booking for scruffing the spot up whilst mouthing off and putting the taker off especially if its in the last few mins. Then wave arms about , fake to move but stay until hit. |

If it was us who had a decision against it being a penalty we would be going crackers on here. I don't blame the ref for calling it. All the blame lies at Chester's door for the stupidity of tackling him like that when their player was going nowhere. All I know is that the idiot has ruined my weekend for giving it away. Stupid bastard!  OS. |
