Quote: Dons11 "Myself and a fair few people round me commented it was a soft penalty for the ref to give although I actually thought it was a push to the chest. But how many times a game do you see players react like that to being pinned down and get the penalty in our favour? Keiran for instance did it once as I believe so did hakim. I don’t think a player can be faulted for trying to get the fast play of the ball that they are entitled to. I can see why people comment about the constant negativity on here. Those players can give 100% for 80 mins yet get torn apart for one small thing.'"
Who is tearing players apart?
These are possible game changing/ game losing avoidable penalties.
We lost the game against York by giving them two penalties on the bounce ... the first for blatent ball stripping. They went to the other end and scored. Game over.
I accept that during a game half a dozen penalties will be given away as a matter of course.
But silly penalties have no place in a serious team.
