In the refs defence, maybe he didn't know he was unconscious. I often wonder myself with the time some players take to get up.

Paul Sykes.

Nailed on.

Not having a go at the ref (I suspect it's a difficult thankless task), but it's possibly the first time i've seen an unconscious player concede a penalty.

It was an awful decision. He may not have known when he blew the whistle but he certainly did before the kick was taken.

We've seem refs in SL change a decision when the video shows it to be wrong so there was no need to let the penalty stand. Referee Woodhead is clearly just a jobsworth with no thoughts of his own.
