    I think if the ref saw that on VAR he would have given the penalty. Their player does seem to be looking for it a bit, but there was definite contact from Baldwin and no attempt to play the ball.

    Considering the player was going to have all on keeping the ball in play from there anyway all Baldwin had to do was shepherd him out, I think we were very fortunate.

    Bugger the "contact" bit, it's supposed to be a contact sport and it was till we started importing them Ities and Dagoes and being the innocents in this sort of thing we took it for granted that their diving and histrionics were the real thing, now it's too late to go our own way and back to the blood and thunder of yesteryear.

    Comments from Alan Shearer about a player being "entitled" to go down if he feels a touch in the penalty area (ooh, missus!) do nothing to stop the rot and Don Revie too would have a lot to answer for if he were still with us.

    We were in the FS so fairly close.

    Definite contact - I've seen far softer penalties given.

    I think we probably got away with that one.
