Perhaps I’m looking through Rovers tinted glasses but I always seem to think we give away more penalties than we get.
Listening to the radio this morning it has been reported that Manure won a game with their 21st penalty of the season. Supporting and watching games live at the Rovers for 69 years I don't think I have seen us awarded that many, or not many more in all that time.
I reckon we missed five or six of them as well.

Not saying the bigger club don’t get the decisions because Man U being the biggest club in the world definitely helps, just like Leeds playing in the Champ will get the decisions, Sunderland in league 1 get the decisions, I also think when we play a non-league side in the cup we get the decisions.

Thanks for that Dutch Uncle, I didn’t think some of the claims in this thread were backed up by any evidence so that’s useful to clarify. Would be interesting to see the stats for other teams, though, as a comparison.

Would be interesting to see the stats for other teams, though, as a comparison.We did give away more penalties than we got in the two relegation seasons in the Championship, and a few of the conceded ones were dodgy, to put it mildly.
Another reason why I hate the premiership, his legs just crumbled last night when he was touched on the shoulder and , apparently, he had every right to g :turd:o down
