Totally agree with the rest of your post, - and I must add that the referee made a huge mistake by awarding that penalty at 3-1. There was no intention whatsoever by Stirling, and as he indicated the ball was blasted at him (and as we all know) ricocheted off his abdomen.
The only appropriate award would have been an indirect free kick.......if anything.
