I don't think the first penalty the Ref gave was a penalty the ref bought a dive, mind you, I thought the Ref missed a hand ball earlier.

Totally agree, he completely missed the handball and Blair went down far too easy for the first pen. Thought we also could've had at least one more pen

He didn't miss it... flag went up for offside before the handball, so he gave the first offence.

He had waved the penalty claim away before he knew about the flag going up though.

I was a fantastic free kick , worthy of winning any game in any league... but again it showed our vulnerabilities .
It was their only attempt on goal in the first half, all brought on by Butler giving the ball away (passing it straight to one of their forwards)   ... then one of our players giving away a needless free kick trying to stop a dangerous situation.
It's as if we have to gift the opposition  a golden chance every game.

And it was a quality free kick which you won't see many like that going in.

Funny, I thought the first one was a stonewaller. That's how it looked to me watching the game.

I was near to the first and didn't really expect it to be given. Blair was caught but went down very easily and seemed to go down with both feet together. Makes up for some of the other Cerys not given this season I suppose.
It was great to see them put away and not wasted as well.
Mandeville's confidence really seems to be growing now. His footwork on the right late in the second half was a joy to watch. Long may it continue.

It was needless , because Butler was under no pressure , and by giving the ball away in dangerous place he gave our player no other option than to give away a free kick.

We could Stuey, we could also have had none.  From where I was sat the first was stonewall... the second, after a terrific run by Rowe he dug his studs in to cut inside and slipped.  The defender barely made contact and I was surprised to see that given.  We've seen far more blatant than both of those turned down.

Agreed, we said the same at the time.

Both penalties were relatively soft, the first I thought was clearcut, the second less so.. However there have been many times we haven't been given them when we should have, so I'll take yesterday's decisions!!

Soft or not, they were both trips and therefore penalties.
