Title: Request to one of the true stattos
Post by: BillyStubbsTears on January 17, 2026, 06:33:48 pm
What's the longest run we've ever had in the league without being awarded a penalty?

I think we are currently on 24 games? Another one today that was a 50:50 decision. Could easily make the argument that the foul was inside or outside the box. The ref took the least controversial decision.

You could tell with the authority the ref made the decision he wasn’t going to give the penalty! They are always so sure when they are giving decisions they think are outside the box!

I honestly don't know what the rule is when a foul goes on over a distance.

In this case it was clear that the foul play started outside the box,but to me it seemed that it was still going on when the contact was inside the box too. Is it down to a ref's judgement where the foulness reaches a maximum?

Our current run is nothing compared to Oxford's:

I think today was the first time we have seen live an away league win in London since the play off semi final second leg win in May 2019.
