No, mate. I have a different opinion to you. Do you see?

Not a professional foul then by their man ?
Ref got it wrong and no I wouldn't have complained if the other way round Rod.

Professional foul? It was six of one and half a dozen of the other. If you count that as a professional foul then football will be a non-contact sport.

Look again, the Derby man 'pulled the arm' outside the box and that should have been a FK to United.

I’ve looked again on TV...actually had a better view in the ground and the incident was at ‘my’ end and a long way from you Blades’ fans. My opinion remains, it was a penalty...for deliberate handball, but you were the better side...and the only side in it in the second half.

[JonnyEdge]

I’ll admit being wrong. On reflection it was a nailed on penalty but that being said Russell was climbing all over him leading up to it and a free kick should’ve been given.
Unfortunately too many players throw themselves on top of the ball and cry foul and too many refs instantly give the free kick, on this occasion he gave them the pen instead.

Strangely we could have been 2-0 up at half time and it was definitely a penalty, unless deliberately pushing the ball out with your arm is suddenly within the rules.
Having said that, in 180 plus minutes of football this season I reckon you lot have dominated for about 150 of them. Tbh we had too many who just seemed jaded yesterday and although I expected us to build on the 1-0 at half time yesterday the truth is, most Derby fans were relieved to share the points by the end yesterday.
Don’t understand your ‘mini collapse’. For my money, along with Wolves, Sheffield United are the best team I’ve seen this season. With one or two January additions I think, despite being largely outplayed yesterday, we’ll make the play offs at least but I really can’t see how the Blades won’t be there too and I don’t fancy meeting you at Wembley...unless it’s going to be a case of third time lucky.
Good luck anyway...proper team...proper fans.

All the best mate.
