That penalty!

For once, I don’t blame the officials for not spotting Kipre’s handball last night. The referee appeared to be unsighted, as was the assistant. It was interesting to note that not one QPR player claimed a handball. They all had their hands on their heads thinking that it was a great save and how close they were to equalising. Yes, with VAR it would have been correctly given as a penalty but without it, it was just one of those things. We’ve had decisions go for us and against us this season. Luckily, last night it went our way.

I agree with you. Looked like a great save live, only after a couple of replays you could see Kipre handled it over. What I would say is that I thought the pen they did get was harsh and probably not a penalty. So you could say the penalty count evened out over the game.

I agree 123, I also thought that the penalty given against Reach was harsh.

Agree - should never have been a penalty as it was not a goal scoring chance and it was a reaction from Reach. What the hell should he do with his hands in that situation and clearly it was not deliberate!

It is ridiculous to give hand ball when the defender has his back turned as the ball is crossed. It was not as if Reach had his arm extended out waving it around it was relatively tucked in with his elbow sticking out. The players will have to wear straight jackets soon to prevent handball.

No handball in table football 😉
