Yes I do remember there being mention of a "double jeopardy" ruling whereby a penalty is deemed sufficient punishment, with no red card for the offender. But its either been dropped or ignored, as I've seen plenty of red card penalties given.
IMO, if its a foul that prevents a goalscoring opportunity then it should still be a red card regardless, as there's no guarantee that the penalty will be scored, unless Hemed is taking it.

Yes definite pen.
Although I blame the FA in all this. The ref had a sh*t game, but the FA can do so much more to support the ref in decision making. A ten second look at the cameras from the back room team and there's no issue.

From my view point in WSU it was a penalty all night long. If it were M City, Utd , Arsenal,Chelsea or Spurs it would've been given

It's not a red if it was an attempt to play the ball - if you grab someone's shirt then it's a red if you mis-time a tackle (as Shawcross did) it's a yellow.
Should have been a pen and a yellow.

It was a penalty....................because I support Brighton.
What we really need to get the game back on an even keel is for those cowardly blazers at the FA to come out and publicly criticise and punish referees who do not apply the laws of the game, are unfit, or are totally incompetent. I think Mason was all three of those yesterday.
Even Dermot Gallagher, who agreed it was a clear penalty, refused to criticise Mason; indeed he was making excuses for him and the assistant.
Referees are fulltime professionals now and have been for quite a while. They are extremely well remunerated. There are no excuses for Mason's display last night. He failed to do the job that he is well paid to do so why shouldn't he be censored and punished like the rest of us?!

Are you related to BG? I think we should be told!

Sorry, your boss publicly shames you when you do something wrong? Really?
The FA coming out and publicly criticising referees is a ridiculous idea, all it would do is put more pressure on them, meaning they'd just make more mistakes. And what does what they earn have to do with anything? Do you think Mason was deliberately putting in a poor performance last night? Or that he just had a bad day at the office, like we all do?
If the FA think he's done a bad job then they should deal with him privately, not burn him at the stake to satisfy some people moaning on the internet.
Yes. Haven't seen a more clearcut penalty for a very long time. It's Stoke though so referees are used to being prepared to cut them some slack regularly with their physicality.
How is that going to help?
What the FA need to do is SUPPORT the refs so people actually want to become refs and the standards increase
No no they should publicly SHAME them. That will really help with the standard.

It was one of the weird games when a stonewall penalty probably didn't affect the result - Stoke decided not to attack us holding a narrow lead which was probably a tactical mistake on their part given how badly we were doing defensively
