Guilty!!
First game of the season last Sunday.
Half way through the second half and a clash in the box. Unfortunately it was a large pitch and I was 'head on' to the decision as I was running back from the other end, rather than a view from the side (a la the 'lazy 's'), so I did not have a proper view and did not give it. It was a penalty, the defender admitted afterwards. The attacking side won 5-0, so it was not an issue, but reinforced the importance of how much more you can see from an angle rather than head on.
