Just watched the highlights, for me it’s inside the box. The momentum takes them both out of it but within the line when he first makes contact.

Something I thought at the time but quickly forgot in the aftermath - what on earth was Fej doing before the penalty? Has an opportunity to clear, an opportunity to knock it back to Smith (I think) to clear, could always hammer it into touch and instead he dithered and passed it straight back into the danger area. Very poor.

Watched it again this morning and the contact was outside the box. Referee’s error, but he was queuing up to give them something.

We had 3 players with yellow cards and they had one. But, how many times was Richards fouled after having beaten his man?

As everyone’s said, it doesn’t matter now, but we could so easily have been robbed of 2 points!

To be fair I think Fej was absolutely done in by this stage , he was just chasing shadows for most of the game through no fault of his own.

How anyone that says the 2nd one is outside the box needs glasses

Some of us have rose tinted specs. It was border line but can understand why the ref gave it. He doesn’t have the benefit of VAR.

As for the yellow cards. How was that even a foul by Anderson yet alone a yellow card
Bridcott fouled TJ 3 times in the 1st half, proper fouls and he never got booked. 

The inconsistencies of refs drives me potty. Most of them don’t seem to understand what the difference is between a fair tackle and a proper foul.

Thought the red was pretty decent yesterday apart from maybe one harsh yellow
