Wolves v Burton penalty

Level 6 Referee

Very start of the video. Strange handball. In real time it doesn't look like an offence has occurred until. Took me a few looks to notice the handball. Judging by comments I have seen on Twitter those in the ground had no idea what was given either.

The penalty itself however. How many players encroaching? I know you will always have a player running early but that is ridiculous

Must not wear my Baggies tinted specs. :D

I thought the ref made it quite clear what he had given.

Encroachment - retake surely, more Wolves players in the box and they were in there first, and it was saved, retake all day long.

And I haven't got my Baggies tinted specs on, if I had I would have given Burton a goal for the handball right away :D :D

I agree with Andy - there were Burton players appealing for it, so it clearly wasn't just in the referee's head and both his whistle and actions scream "Penalty" to me. Shame after that decision that he then messed up by not ordering a retake.
