Being miles away it is hard to be sure without seeing replays but a penalty shout for Clyne and three for Lallana. Two looked like they had to be given to me (and possibly even all 4). How on earth didn't we get at least one penalty today?
We should have had 3 penalties from where I was sat (Itchen North) Referee and linesmen in front of me was woeful
The Clyne one, I'm assuming you're talking about late on when Ki slid in and injured himself, that was a great tackle, and also slightly outside the box. The first two Lallana shouts there seemed to be contact but he went down very easily and the ref wasn't in the mood to give one, the third I saw twice, live and then replayed and both times it seemed like a stonewall. The defender was nutmegged and seemed to just half body-check, half-kick Lallana in the corner of the box, and the second replay I'm pretty sure showed the referee standing five yards away with an unimpeded view, MoTD will probably reveal all but personally I'm still fuming we didn't get it, mostly at the ref and slightly at Adam for his earlier misdemeanors that may have clouded the referees judgement, although it shouldn't have done.
First half there was a Clyne shout. He was being obstructed and stayed on his feet. That's the one I mean
Unconvinced that we should have had any, the Northam end one was a deserved booking, the second one did not seem to be a foul to me, the third one looked like one from my lofty position but I thought it was outside the box. We will wait for the dreaded super slow mo replay I suppose.
Last week Lallana was fouled didnt claim and didnt get the penalty. When he got booked this week did he claim? Seemed a bit harsh from the ref. Later on though, it was a definite foul, prob just outside, but the ref, looking straight at it, got it wrong. The Clyne one sadly was a really good tackle.
I think you're both thinking of another Clyne shout. I can't even remember it. I must have thought it was a good tackle as well and forgotten the incident. The late one looked JUST inside to me at the time. Hopefully we'll get some replays
Yeah it wasn't so much of a shout as some hopeful supporters gave it a go, was in about the 90th minute when Clyne was coming down the right and Ki put in a great sliding tackle and put it out for a corner. I can vaguely remember an incident of Clyne getting obstructed earlier in the first half, but I think my stream might have skipped slightly and I mostly missed it and then just forgot about it. The last Lallana one to me I definitely remember as being inside the box, but the more I think about that one the more I feel like I'm twisting the memory in my head haha, but at the time I definitely was hugely angry at it not being given.
I'm withholding judgement until I have seen the replays. I was in a good position to see the 1st and that to me looked like a 50:50 with both of them leaning in on one another. Not going to lie to you though, I was shouting for the pen. The others were miles away so will be interested to watch later.
I don't know what incident you're referring to but it certainly isn't the one I was talking about! I reckon Mr Marriner might wake up with a horse's head tomorrow...
I felt really hard done by when I watched it live, but after seeing it again a few times on MotD I can't believe we didn't get a penalty for Monk's tackle on Lallana. One of the most blatant penalties you'll ever see, with the referee in perfect position. Things just aren't going for us this season but at the end of the day we should have had two or three in the net by then anyway and we only have ourselves to blame for not winning the game, although the penalty should really have bailed us out.
