Penalty

Yes Penalty and red card correct decision.

Hard to tell if it was a trip or a pull or if he went down too easily because we are looking at it from afar. But goalkeeper's hand is definitely raised so he was probably pulled back.

He had every reason to stay on his feet if he could have because it was an easy tap in, and he would have got there first.

IMO the correct decision. The player may have went down easily but from this and the photo in the press jim did grab him. If it was the Dundee keeper then we all would have been screaming for the pen. Wouldn't put it all down to jim though. Thought hotly was slow to react to the ball over the top

Penalty - perhaps. Red card - No! It's a contact sport and Conroy was always looking for it, going down way too easily.

Stonewall penalty. Obvious scoring opportunity and thus red card absolutely correct. That`s what the laws of the game dictate. Whether we agree with the law is another matter,

Unfortunately penalty and red card the right decision.

Absolutely stick - on penalty and it was Boyle not Conroy who was fouled by Atkinson.
