That penalty sending off.

Thought Best dived but can understand why the ref gave it from the angle he had...sending off a bit harsh even if it was a pen...do I care?, not really, next week it'll probably happen to us...again.

Looked a stone wall penalty to me, clipped his heels.

Once the ref had given the foul - which replays and the lack of ranting and raving from QPR suggests was the correct decision - he had no option but to send him off.
Denying a clear goal scoring opportunity is a red card offence and Best had a shot on goal from 6 yards out had Dunne not clipped him.

Maybe 50/50 for the send off...he was wide of the goal & close to the keeper...I'm pretty sure all Best was thinking about was going down with the slightest of touches...anyway it doesn't matter, we've had plenty go against us.

Swings and roundabouts...The Wigan keeper should have walked..How he stayed on the pitch was unreal..Don't know what the ref was thinking by giving him a yellow card...
Sh!t happens, as they say.

Exactly Braggy.

This one wasn't a sending off. Apparently the ref told Barton that if you can get a shot on goal and get brought down, it's classed as a goal scoring opportunity and a red card.

Dive for me, never a foul and never a red card.

But, its about time we had some decisions for a change.
