Funny how different things look from different angles. I thought that from my seat, Kingsland level with the Chapel goalline, that it was a nailed on penalty. Mind you, I think I got a better view of many of the fouls than the ref sometimes!
Just one other thing about the match; I was so impressed by our closing down. Leeds had no time on the ball at all.
Oh, and I am a little upset at the sexist oggling which seems to have been going on. It's a disgrace! Now, if you will excuse me, I have to go and peruse my extensive collection of beach volleyball DVDs!

Beach volleyball DVDs??? *cough*
Talking of which, anyone know where it's taking place in the Olympics? (please don't say "on the beach")
They were piling sand in Horse Guards Parade in London recently when I was up there for demonstration of the event. Sounded like that's where it was going to be.
Just googled it..event will be held in Horse Guards Parade. that's different isn't it? Don't worry I'm sure they still have to wear the bikinis.
Seeing it live from in the Chapel Stand, I thought it was a nailed on penalty.
Seeing it replayed on the Football League Show, I really wasn't sure but got the feeling there was definately some doubt there.
Seeing it replaying on Goals On Sunday, I looks like it hit his chest and then rolled up the top of his arm. This would match to what I saw in the Chapel, as I had no view of his chest from my seat - just a view of his out-stretched arm. In this case, I think the penalty was slightly harsh - but if the boot was on the other foot, I'd have been calling for it to be given, and so I'm not against the linesman's decision.

You win some and you lose some..you just hope it's not important. We'd all accept it if we won by a dubious penalty away on a wet night in February.
