Two penalty calls not given in Readings favour and both calls massively wrong.
Gave a foul against the Reading man for the first one for a pull on the Sheffield Wed player but was very clear it was the other way on replay. How he got it wrong is beyond me.
2nd one, shot from edge of box blocked with the arm of the Wednesday player and nothing given. Positioning very poor on this one id guess if he couldn't see this.
Reading have been very hard done by.

Haven’t seen those, did you see the RC - looked very blatant to me from the clip I’ve seen
 
Because of work, I watched 2nd half onwards.
Replays I have to agree. Id have given a red card.
And this is hard for me to say being a local to Reading and not liking them lol
 
Haha I saw the clip on Twitter - was watching the first half of Stephanie Frappart’s game which she was brilliant in and then second half of the UTD PSG game where Fred wasn’t sent off for a very definite headbutt but then second yellow for a fair tackle IMO
 
I agree with the handball.
Not sure on the first one. There is very little in it and a holding offence has to impede a players movement.
Reading went down soft all night. Indeed the foul that lead to the free kick they scored from was never a foul.
Red card was an easy decision.. Called it as soon as challenge went in.
Ref went steaming in blasting on the whistle then had a big long think about it. After that reaction there's no way he could have produced anything but red
 
First shout he does have his heel trodden on. It’s been missed.

The hand ball was a tough call in real time.

Hand/arm, stomach and thigh all seemed to touch the ball. I thought it deflected onto his arm from the thigh. In fact it was the other way around.It’s blindside to AR2 so he’s got no chance of being able to help.

And the free kick, tbh that’s poor defending. Doesn’t need to get so close, doesn’t need to touch the Reading player and see the ball out instead. It’s untidy and has no chance to play the ball and any bump is going to result in a free kick. Should do better there.
 
They are all penalties for me, and that is as a Wednesday fan. Odubajo has given away more penalties than I can remember as he gets too tight then the player feels the contact and goes down. The Borner one was very similar to the Andy Robertson one last week that was given after a VAR review, yes he meant to kick the ball and not the player but he just kicked straight through the opponent's leg. I have sympathy with the officials for the handball by Reach as that is very difficult to spot at real time with the ball blasted at that speed, and there's an argument to say if you give a penalty there it has to be DOGSO-H.

And like JamesL I said red as soon as the challenge went in. It was a textbook one where the player over runs the ball, or in this case makes a sloppy pass, then lunges in to try and atone for the error. The only surprise was how long he took to get the red card out.

Forgot the Borner one. That was a pen too. Agreed.
I dont agree with the odubajo one though, there is barely any contact, no more than I would expect in a penalty area. I also don't agree it should have been a free kick to us either though, that was peculiar, play on for me.
The other one, iorfa might have been, was a good spot with the shirt pulling from the ref.
