As for the one at Bournemouth again soft, in terms of: was there impedement ? Not really, but there was manual contact but the guys in the box bearing down on goal so again as above. refs these days ???
I still hold the view that any contact at all in area , an no one can be too surprised when any ref points to spot.
This makes it bad luck/unfortunate for the alleged perpetrator.
These are my own personal none ‘professional’ views.

That's the thing. We are 2-1 up, all over them. Dack has the ball in their area, their man pulls him down to the ground and the ref gives no pen? 6 mins later, they get given their second pen of the afternoon making sure they get an equaliser.
Its football, it happens. But the decisions right now, are not going our way.
That's not Mowbrays fault, or the players.
The only pen I have seen that was stupid was away at Stoke when Lenihan pushed over their player with two hands. A clear, preventable pen.
Its not currently 'evening' out as the phrase goes. And TM has made reference to this.

There will come a point this season, we will the decisions go our way. That's football.

But even with all the decisions going against us, we still only have lost one game all season.
Had we had a little bit of luck, we'd be in the top 3 by now.
Which would not be accurate, as we are not amoungst the top 3 best sides in the division.
