    That Hand Ball

    We need decisions like this to go our way- we could miss out on a CL spot in goal difference-

    We came out of the game on the right side of some dodgy refereeing decisions, I'm happy with another clean sheet and three points.

    We are one of six PL teams who have not been awarded a penalty this season.
    The others are Huddersfield, West Brom, Spurs, Newcastle and Swansea.

    We were also lucky to get away with another 'Tarko' incident in the area that could easily have been given as a penalty.

    I thought Probert got it right, there was no intent to play the ball with his arm, so imo it was the right decision. Nevertheless there's a very good reason why defenders keep their arms by their sides, or clasp their hands behind their backs in the penalty area, it's because if your arm is away from your body and the ball hits it, most refs will give a penalty. Watford got lucky, Probert didn't give it, he must be one of the very few who interprets the law correctly.

    it was Stonewall penalty- prevented ball from getting into the danger area
