Cambridge

[Me For Crewe]

Had another look on a slow motion video and it does show Perry possibly getting very close to the ball but without moving it but he was clearly lunging across the player and actually fouled him and brought him down ie obstruction which was a clear pen even had Perry got to the ball first and we can see the Ref was only ten yards away with a clear view of the incident. The point is everyone was saying it wasn't a pen and blaming the Ref when the video shows up that was the case. Group think with football fans is a shoe in though and I possibly would have booed the Ref at the end like everyone else on our side..I doubt that most fans would be able to see what the video showed in the split second it took.

Mike if you are on Twitter then have a look at @simonklewis tweets 9.04pm, Sep 14th. If you are not find somebody who is. Have a look at the video and then tell me that it is a penalty! Their lad is going down before he gets to Perry, clearly folding his legs up and Perry clearly diverts the ball across the area before any contact was made by the Cambridge player on him when originally it was heading in the direction of the goal. End of.

I don't read or post on twitter but went across just now to see the video of the incident and as much as I want it not to be a pen and not wanting to be contentious just to be awkward , I have to say that video adds nothing to the one on the video highlights and in fact confirms my own thoughts that Perry 'lunged' at their player and in reality it made no difference whether he touched the ball or not but I don't think he did get more than a fresh air touch because had he got a toe on the ball, it would surely have gone a few yards and it hardly moved, suggesting he didn't. We need a ref on here to confirm or otherwise. What is worse is the free header they got for their second goal. In the old days the Keeper would have come out for those sorts of balls and not stuck on his goal line.

Just to add another bone of contention, I think it was wrong for DA to drop Richards when he saved a pen the week before. IMO.

Just seen the Twitter video and it shows with crystal clarity that Perrie got the ball and moved it (as I saw live at the game), and didn't even go fully to ground himself - was moving on to clear the ball when the pen was given, by ref running from behind Owen Dale.
