If Saville's foot is kicked by Bidwell and that leads to the ball heading in that direction, it's surely a free kick to us? I'm watching it again now and I can't really tell again, Bidwell's toe bouncing back makes it looks like he's got the ball, not Saville, then the foot would be followed through. What I guess I'm getting at right now is I can't understand how anyone can look at any angle of this and 100% declare either way it is or isn't a penalty. Which really means the referee at least deserves the benefit of the doubt in this situation. He's made a big call based on little information and it's gone our way. I'm much more bothered about the goal he's ruled out for us at the other end in terms of his performance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
sanddancer 1,967 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I take my hat off to NW because he said what he felt from the heart. He is absolutely correct in the fact we were denied a win. I have looked at the replay over and over and it’s not a penalty by fact the ref can’t be certain. The ref and officials have robbed BORO of points. BUT the lead up to the penalty was awful, suicidal.. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah that one was blatant incompetence, you'll not get anyone arguing that one. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

His boot actually goes past it rather than through it. I think it's just cos of how he's having to slide in. Their player kicks Saville's boot, or kicks through Saville, either way it's a foul on our player. Link to post Share on other sites
diggerlad07 3,694 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 The referee decisions cost us a hard earned point today and there needs to be consequences for the officiating in this league. Saville incident I thought he got right tbf, but how he can disallow the Bola's goal or not give us a penalty is beyond me. The standard of officiating is ridicilous throughout the league. VAR has got to be introduced across the board as these types of decisions cost clubs in the long run. Saville should be staying on his feet for me, but what's frustrating is that the referee gives the corner and he's the best placed out of the officials and then for some reason he changes his mind - Really shocking officiating. 2nd half performance was encouraging and I thought we made Swansea look very average. Every week we seem to be talking about officiating or making excuses. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I couldn't at first until I watched a few times and then froze it from both angles. Saville simply doesn't touch the ball. His foot and leg are up in the air and miss the ball, the Swansea lad kicks the ball underneath his foot. Unless Saville gets to the ball first then it has to be a penalty and he doesn't. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

TheJew 2,938 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 If Saville's foot is kicked, that's a freenkick to us. Just like if a player gets his body in front of a player and they happen to touch their back so they go over. Free kick. Ref was a shower and it is happening too often for it to be ignored. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

No, he doesn't. He kicks the ball. Saville's boot is already past the ball, in the air, cos he misses the ball. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
