Ok, so my fixture yesterday. Pretty bog standard game but the home side needed the points to pull away from the bottom pack.
So 0-0 10 mins to go, away striker goes in the box defender kicks the striker, clear penalty, but no one is even interested, whistle goes up to my lips, player stays on his feet, 1 on 1 with the keeper, blow for pen and risk the wrath if they score or play on?
What would you do?
I played on, and yep you guessed it, keeper saves it!
A couple of grumbles but not half as many as I was expecting, and even the home side were saying, bloody hell ref that was a blatant pen.
Would you on every occasion like that give the pen regardless?
Home side then score an 85th minute winner to win 1-0
